Chocolate decorations
There are 38 products.
Ready-made chocolate decorations turn every cake, cupcake and dessert into a little work of art – no tempering or moulding required. Choose chocolate figures for Christmas such as Father Christmas, Christmas stars, ice crystals, fir trees, presents and Yule logs, for Halloween such as ghosts, spider webs, skeleton hands or a graveyard, plus woodland animals for autumn cakes. There are also chocolate shavings in dark, milk and white chocolate or with caramel flavour, as well as chocolate coffee and mocha beans. Whether for an Advent party, a Halloween night or an autumn birthday, the figures are ready to use, go straight from the pack onto the bake and look professional at once.
How to use chocolate decorations
- Fix them properly: on buttercream, ganache, glaze or glacé icing the figures stay put on their own. On smooth fondant, fix them with a dot of melted chocolate.
- Keep them cool: chocolate is sensitive to heat. Keep decorated cakes cool until serving and never in the sun.
- Shavings for the sides: press chocolate shavings onto the coated sides of the cake with the flat of your hand, or scatter them over mousse, ice cream and cupcakes.
- Beans as a flavour hint: chocolate coffee beans on tiramisu, mocha cake or a Yule log reveal the flavour before the first bite.
Frequently asked questions about chocolate decorations
When should I put the chocolate figures on the cake?
Place them on the coated cake while the cream is still slightly soft – they will hold better. Then chill the cake.
Which decorations suit an autumn cake?
The woodland animals – squirrels, a deer, a hedgehog, foxes and mushrooms – create a little forest scene on a buttercream cake in warm earthy tones, perfect with apple, pumpkin or hazelnut cake.
