Nowadays, advanced cooks use silicone baking molds, which, unlike metal ones, are more flexible, and are suitable for preparing delicious Easter dishes. This makes it easy to remove ready-made culinary masterpieces from them and does not allow a liquid test to spread out. If you want your Easter or Easter cake to be a success, trust in the traditions of your ancestors.

If you want to decorate an Easter cake or Easter in the old Ukrainian traditions, use special ornaments: a lark with eight wings folded (the symbol of infinity), ears with large grains (they can be made from cashew nuts), "sheep's horns" and candies the flight of your imagination has no boundaries). A delicious cottage cheese holiday!
