Neutral icing for cake

In order to prepare a neutral icing for the cake, you need to pour water into a saucepan or a small saucepan and add 200 grams of sugar. Mix all the ingredients well together and put the dishes on the stove. Over low heat, stirring constantly, heat the mixture of sugar and water to about 60 degrees Celsius (so that the sugar completely dissolves).

In a separate bowl, mix the remaining sugar with pectin. And then introduce this mixture into a saucepan with syrup, where the sugar has finally dissolved in water. Mix all the ingredients together and gradually bring to a boil.

As soon as the liquid in the pan boils, add the invert syrup there, mix well and bring the contents of the pan to a boil again. Cook the liquid for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly with a spoon or spatula. Then remove the pan from the heat and strain the resulting syrup through a fine sieve to get rid of small bubbles on the surface. Leave the glaze to cool completely, after which you can put it in the refrigerator.

Keep such a neutral glaze in the refrigerator for a fairly long period of time - up to six months.

Before application, the glaze should be heated to a temperature of 45-50 degrees Celsius - so it will become more liquid and plastic, it will be more convenient to work with it.

Neutral glaze turns colorless. Therefore, in order to paint it in some color, it is necessary to add food coloring to it and stir until completely dissolved.

Not only the top cakes of cakes can be covered with this glaze. It can also be used to decorate desserts - to cover various berries or fruits. In this case, the glaze does not need preheating and it can be used immediately by taking it out of the refrigerator.

Beautiful and delicious culinary masterpieces!
