And I have rectangular even ones, and round ones on top are crooked. On them, the paper was somehow wrapped during baking and there were dents.


The fruit cake is either left as it is, naked (and presented, covered with an elegant ribbon, wrapped in rich wrapping paper, packed in an expensive box lined with tissue paper, etc.), or decorated with an ornament of nuts before baking, or decorated with candied fruits after baking , stacked randomly or in the form of an ornament, rows, etc. I even happened to see the decoration with powdered sugar through a stencil, but this is very unusual (but simple).
To keep candied fruits and nuts on the surface of the product, the surface is first smeared with hot apricot jam or praline (nutella), then candied fruits and nuts are placed on it. When the jam cools down or the praline dries up, the candied fruit will be cemented in it.

Sometimes the surface of the cake is decorated with pouring caramel. Especially if the top of the product is decorated with nuts.

All other methods of decorating fruit muffins involve the use of marzipan or decorating lipstick, which are bought at the store, rolled out into layers on a table powdered with powdered sugar, and put on a cake smeared with alcohol.
Then they decorate the surface with protein drawing oil, pills, painting with food paints, etc. In short, it all depends on the recipe for a particular product and its purpose.

In your situation, the easiest way would be to either pour the top of the product with milk lipstick, or sprinkle with caramel. Simple and elegant. For milk fondant, take candy cow, heat them in the microwave or over low heat, stirring, until the consistency of thick sour cream and pour this fondant over the top of the pie. After the lipstick mirror has hardened, you can leave it as it is or warm up the lipstick and apply it from a cornet with a mesh, a spiral, flowers, lace, etc.
You can also flood the chocolate. You can sprinkle or thickly pour the top of the product with thick ganache made of white, milk or dark chocolate heated in a mixture with heavy cream.
For caramel, either boil sugar and water until a zyloty color and sprinkle the surface of the product with this pouring karmel, or melt, again in the microwave or over low heat, toffee or caramel of your favorite taste and color and sprinkle the surface of the product with a mesh or fill it with a solid mirror.

- I read it from Luda. So I think with what to cover the dents so that they are invisible

I would also buy such felling, excellent. I took it for a long time and where, don't you remember?
I bought it in Shanghai in the spring :) Finally, they waited in the wings! We also saw these in a store with confectionery inventory, the price is about 400 rubles In China, they cost me 2 - 2.5 times cheaper ...

I put small irregularities with a thin layer of ganache, and then covered it with mastic (chocolate with marshmallows + marzipan). I made roses from the remains of mastic. I made mastic for the first time in my life and covered it too. And roses - also for the first time.
By the way, my husband just came from a corporate party, where I was sending a round cupcake - a complete delight. I'm so glad.
Thanks everyone for the recipe and advice.

Light, throw me a link to your mastic and ganache. I have never done it either, I want to try. Moreover, the first time you did it so beautifully I can imagine how my husband was proud, I suppose he swelled like a peacock

And here are my cupcakes.

I did not align them, so I covered them with marzipan mass.
It was only on the last covered cupcake that I realized how to tighten it so that no wrinkles form.

And with folds, the cupcakes seemed cute to me

I have already tasted the cuttings: very tasty!
Thanks to everyone who helped make this wonderful holiday cupcake!
All the upcoming holidays!

And this year I decided to decorate the muffins with fruits, nuts and dried fruits.

Packed them in the form of candy

Happy New Year everyone!! And lucky cupcakes !!

Lyudmil, krasoten Put dried fruits on the jam? And anointed with icing? The beads decorate beautifully. I don’t have such beautiful carved substrates. And wrapped it up in the form of candy is great Only the top will not stick?
Husky
Larissa, thank you !!
I covered the muffins with apricot jam. Gave it a day to stand. The jam was dry and the fruit was already being laid on it. Top with fruit covered with decorgel.
I put the lace napkins in the forms, cutting the corners. Inserted cupcakes. They didn't really stick to the napkins, as the jam dried well.
The edges of the napkin protrude beyond the edges of the form When wrapping the cupcake in wrapping paper, fold the edges of the napkin inward and cover the top of the fruitcake. But I don't pull the wrapper tightly against the cupcake, so the napkin doesn't touch the cupcake and stays clean.

Cupcake in a cut. It is cut perfectly, fruits and nuts do not spill out. Very tasty and goes well with the chocolate-marzipan taste of mastic.
Many thanks again to everyone for the recipe and advice!

Lilia and Lyudmila, your cupcakes are super-good!

Larissa, I will wait for Christmas to see your cupcakes!

I have been baking for the 3rd year and it finally worked out !!!! It does not crumble, juicy, tasty ... I baked it in the form of a "Christmas tree", "gave it to drink" with dark rum, did not take a picture entirely, did not have time, so only a piece)))

Girls tell me how many times you need to water (soak) the cupcakes if they can be stored for 6 months. and longer?

After Christmas, I didn't drink mine anymore. Last year's flight is normal at the moment.

And approximately how many times did you succeed? I get 3 times before Christmas, I just baked it late

As much as the author said, she drank so much. Noya did everything on time, if my memory serves me. I baked a gingerbread this year, there is still a cupcake (I did more than one portion)

The fact of the matter is that I cannot find in the author's words how many times do I need to water him?

I did a lot, but now the attitude to nutrition is completely different, so just a little bit, you will pinch off and enjoy life. It already seems very sweet, very satisfying. In no case do I want to say that it is not tasty.It's just that our attitude has changed towards food, as such (or rather to its quantity), among the whole family. We just forget about him. Although it lies, you can say in plain sight. So I warned all my relatives and friends to remind me of what I have for tea. I just forget and bake everything fresh. I would have given an ultimatum long ago until you eat new baked goods

Merry Christmas to you bakers!
Finally, we waited for that solemn moment when you can treat yourself to a cupcake. Such a funky smell is in the room! And the taste is amazing!
A little crumbles, really. Maybe because from the multicooker, but haven't tried it from the oven yet. Hope it gets better, drier.

Olyushka Beautiful and tasty
I covered two with sugar glaze. The large pattern is beautiful, but it is not visible, there is too much sugar. Did the first time On the second glaze is better, thin and shiny.

The rest are mastic ganache. I did it for the first time too and masked the flaws with icing.

One muffin was cut today, the smell of seasoning is strong, does not crumble, is moist and very high in calories. We liked it. Thank you all for your help, advice. Special thanks to the author Lisss's for this amazing cupcake.
Merry Christmas!

What handsome men! How many servings were mixed?
I will try to prepare for the decoration next time.
Scops owl
The portion is standard. Just 3 in round, large and 2 in bread tins. These are not yet packed, but we are eating big
1 cut into 2 parts. Then she was tortured when she smeared with ganache. There is no experience yet. I have all the raisins and every little thing strove to fall out. I won't cut any more.
I myself wound circles around the city to buy marmyshka. Roll with a ball, you need to prepare in advance And decorate in advance, without haste.

Happy holidays everyone! All the virgin cupcakes are amazing, so all different and all beautiful and delicious!
Reporting - my cut:English christmas cupcake
4 cupcakes were baked - three for gifts to relatives, one for us. Everyone is delighted! Very tasty, aromatic and incomparable! It is cut perfectly. The last time I soaked it with cognac on December 30th and covered it with icing. Photo exhibited above on the previous pages. One BUT. The icing is cracked and crumbles when slicing ... Next year we will definitely bake and apparently not one portion, but we will think about the coating ...
Tatiana, Giraffe, can I ask you a question? And how do you keep muffins from last year just in a sideboard or refrigerator and soak in cognac?
Giraffe
They lie in the second kitchen in a cupboard, wrapped in parchment and foil. I didn’t soak anymore. When we remember, we cut off a piece and back into place. the husband laughs that they are so embalmed they are no longer afraid of anything. In summer, this kitchen is the coolest place in the house, in winter it is coldest.
It didn't affect the taste in any way. The same tasty, soft, aromatic.
MomMaxa
Thanks for the answer! And then your hands are itching without waiting for the end of the year to create and so that such yummy is always at hand. And it is really very satisfying, you can't eat more than one piece.So a profitable long-lasting goodies!

I had 1 small cupcake, but my sister came and begged for it. She really liked it. I almost got through with my husband - I didn't want to give it back. I had to promise to do more next time (and so did 1.5 the norm)

Olya, and my advice to you. Make at least two servings at once. I started with one, and last year I made two. In this I will do three. Lies perfectly and for a long time. The last cupcake was eaten in August.

No, I didn't hide it, it smells in my closet. They didn't eat right away, they left something to see how much it would lie and how its taste changed. Then I went to Easter and there were Easter cakes, etc. In the summer I didn't really want that much more for fruit, but in the week it got colder and they began to cut a piece for tea. Until no one got it and did not want to, although she offered it repeatedly, but as for tea she cut it off and those who wanted to appeared
