Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our tips
How many cakes can you decorate with an 80 g bag?
An 80 g bag is enough for 4 to 8 cakes with a light sprinkling, or 2 to 4 cakes with generous decoration, such as a continuous border.
Does the black color bleed when it comes into contact with wet icing?
No, the hard sugar dragee does not release colorant on dry contact. However, prolonged contact with very moist icing may slightly soften the surface of the bead: add it at the last moment.
Is there a larger size for regular production?
Yes, the same Black color is available in an 800 g pouch, designed for Halloween productions and graphic cakes made in batches.
