Meringue for decoration

Decorate cakes with beautiful meringue! Learn the secrets of cooking. Meringue is great for decorating cakes! In order for the meringue to turn out 100%, you need to strictly observe the proportions. It is better to pre-weigh the proteins, since it is not possible to determine exactly by the amount. It all depends on the size of the eggs, from a large egg, the protein will weigh about 33-35 grams, and from a small one - 25-27 grams. Meringue loves precision. If you do not want to paint the whole meringue, you can apply chaotic paint strokes on the cooking bag. When forming a meringue, you will get a beautiful color transition.

Cooking method

Cooking time: 2 h 30 min

1. Pour water into a saucepan, about two glasses. We send it to the fire, bring the water to a boil.

2. Put the egg whites in a bowl, pour sugar. We set the bowl over boiling water. At the same time, the bottom of the bowl should never touch the water!

3. Keep the egg whites with sugar in a steam bath, stir with a whisk. The sugar should completely dissolve. The temperature of the mixture should not exceed 50 degrees.

4. Then pour the protein mass into the bowl of the mixer, it should be completely dry. Whisk at the highest speed for 8-12 minutes. It all depends on the power of the mixer.

5. After the specified time, the mass will noticeably condense and increase in volume. Without stopping whipping, we pour powdered sugar into the proteins. At this stage, you can also add a dye, if it will be used. In our case, it is a yellow dye. We draw a line with red dye inside the cooking bag. This is easy to do with a thin brush.

6. Continue to beat for about two minutes. The mass turned out to be quite dense. We transfer it to a pastry bag, and using the "petal" nozzle, we put the meringues on a baking sheet lined with parchment. You can also lay a silicone mat if there is one. We insert a wooden skewer into each meringue. In the center of the flowers, you can sprinkle pastry sprinkles.

7. We send the baking sheet to the oven preheated to 90 degrees. Dry the meringues for about an hour and a half. Sometimes there is more time for drying, but not for much, for ten minutes. It all depends on the size of the meringue and its thickness.

You can decorate a cake with a ready-made delicacy, or just give it as a sweet present. Meringue will also look great on a candy bar.

Let everything work out!
