Metallic Cakes Made Easy
Shine bright with fun and functional new cake decorating products!
October 19th, 2017
This week, we held a product training to coincide with the launch of our new metallic pump colors and lace pastes. It was much more fun than any of us could have expected. When product training was over, a thin veil of luster dust hung in the air like Tinker Bell had just passed through. Scraps of lace were strewn across the marble table like somebody’s grandmother had cleaned out her doily collection. And a roomful of pastry professionals was left giddy and delighted by the simple joys of cake art.
So what’s so great about the new line of metallic luster powders and lace pastes? Well, for one thing, the gold trend doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon, and we’ve got you covered whether you want yellow gold (hot), rose gold (smoking hot), or white gold (ok you caught us; it’s silver, but it’s still hot).
More importantly, these metallic lace pastes and luster pumps offer every busy pastry chef’s favorite word: convenience. Handy little bottles with push pump tops make applying glittering luster powder in three trendy shades easier than ever. No more tedious tapping a paint brush or unhygienic blowing powder onto product. The pumps are the easiest and fastest way to apply sparkle to any finished product without the dreaded polka dot effect.
The metallic lace paste is just as easy to use. The sugar paste is pre-colored and can be used directly out of the bucket to create delicate lace decorations. Spread the paste into a tricot mat, dry at room temp for 6-8 hours or in a cool oven for 10-12 minutes, and apply to a product with a little water to adhere. The dried lace is firm but flexible enough to easily position onto cakes and cookies. It’s not going to cure cancer, but it sure is easy and fun and trendy and OMG can we put lace paste on everything?!
Maybe we were nostalgic for the arts and crafts projects of youth, or maybe you just can’t be mad in a room full of glitter (false) but we did come away from that product training itching to apply gold, silver, and rose gold luster and lace to everything we make. Looking at #metalliccake on Instagram, it seems like we’re not the only ones. Try them, and just try to tell us that you don’t love them as much as we do. And let us know on Instagram and Facebook what you will create with your metallic pumps and lace pastes! We love to hear from you at PastryTeam@auifinefoods.com and visit us at www.auifinefoods.com for more great inspiration and recipes. Happy luster pumping and lace pasting!
