Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Do Choco Pearls melt when they touch the cake?
The chocolate coating starts to melt at 28-30 °C. Store the decorated cake in a cool place (8-18 °C) and take it out 30 minutes before serving for a melt-free tasting experience.
Why isn’t the gold shade achieved with a single colorant?
The edible gold color comes from a combination of two colorants approved for confectionery decoration: annatto (E160b), which provides the yellow-orange base, and silver (E174), which adds metallic shimmer.
What’s the difference compared with Mini Sugar Pearls?
Choco Pearls have a soft chocolate center and a delicious chocolate flavor, while Mini Sugar Pearls are hard, crunchy sugar balls with no chocolate flavor. Choose Choco Pearls for tasting and Mini Sugar Pearls for stable decorations at room temperature.
