Step 1
Prepare all the necessary ingredients. From the berries I have blueberries and lingonberries. If the berries are frozen, they need to be thawed so that it’s easy to squeeze the juice.

Step 4
Pour the gelatin into the sugar mixture and beat with a mixer for 4–5 minutes until it becomes a white mass! This is a ready-made white icing without egg white. It can also be used for coating kulich cakes. But our goal is colored icing!

Step 6
Divide the white mixture into 2 or 3 parts. You can color everything or leave it white. Add juice to each part and whisk again. You’ll get this kind of beauty with a wonderful berry flavor. Let the glaze cool, then cover the cakes with room‑temperature glaze. You can apply several layers for brightness. Then immediately sprinkle with decoration.
