Fruit cakes originate from European countries, and very little coloring is used in the production of foreign desserts, mainly using some fresh fruits, chocolate and jam as the main decorative materials, so as to match the color with the color of the decorative materials. European-style cakes are easy to make and have always been popular among beginners and amateurs. Fruits are quite widely used in cakes. It is used when sandwiching and when decorating the surface. Due to the limitation of framing technology, many people in the industry cannot mount complex patterns by cream, so most of them use whipped cream with fruits for decoration.



Seasonal fruit is very much, is not just any fruit can be used to decorate the cake? Of course not.



Today, we will share with some new friends, how to choose and match the fruit.


The first part: selection.


Do not choose the fruit that is easy to change color after cutting, such as: apples, peaches, etc., otherwise it will not look good after the color change, and the cake is very unattractive. Try to pick more than a few colors of rich fruit, red, orange, yellow, green. This is rich in color, a variety of colors with no monotony. Seasonal fruits are the best choice. Especially in the season when strawberries and cherries appear, these two fruits decorate the cake have a very good effect. Different fruits are cut in different ways: kiwi fruit peeled and sliced, watermelon diced or sliced, plums sliced, blue strawberries whole, mangoes cut in a grid. The mango stands up with a few small pieces of diced watermelon cushioned behind it. This way the pattern has a three-dimensional feel and is popular with customers.


The second part: matching.


The size of the fruit must be small, the shape should be uniform, especially strawberries, can not pick a particularly large so blueberries and other such fruits are most suitable with the decoration. The color of the fruit arrangement with, not at all taboo red with green, the more colorful the more attractive. The design should have appropriate white space, rather than only a few small fruit scattered, not all full, all full can only make people feel visually fatigued! The fruit cake can be painted with melted white chocolate, dark chocolate, such as small butterflies, small stars, small keys similar simple patterns, a little embellishment, may have the icing on the cake effect.


One last note: cutting fruit is also quite important, whether the cut shape looks good, whether the fruit placement is in place, whether the color looks good, is directly related to the key to the success of fruit cake making.
