Toppings
Toppings turn a simple dessert into a real showpiece: a drizzle of caramel sauce over ice cream, a few pistachios on a tart or some freeze-dried raspberries on your muesli are often all it takes. In this category you will find a selection of toppings for ice cream, cakes and desserts – from creamy caramel sauces to nuts and fruit, right through to candied specialities for patisserie.
Caramel, fruit and nuts: dessert toppings for every day
Directly in this category we offer a compact range of dessert toppings that have proven themselves in the kitchen and the bakery:
- Caramel: caramel topping/sauce (160 g), salted caramel cream (250 g), FunCakes caramel cream (300 g) and caramel filling (200 g) for drizzling, filling and decorating
- Fruit: freeze-dried strawberries (20 g) and raspberries (30 g) for vivid colour and a fruity tang
- Nuts: shelled pistachios (50 g) in a bright green
- Candied fruit: candied yuzu peel and glacé cherries for loaf cakes, tarts and classic decorations
If you like a bit of crunch, the subcategory Brittle & crunchy toppings offers nut brittle, feuilletine flakes, caramel pieces and caramelised hazelnuts.
Toppings for ice cream, breakfast and bakes
As toppings for ice cream, caramel sauce, brittle and freeze-dried fruit work especially well: they give sundaes and coupes colour, sweetness and bite. Ideas and ingredients for your own ice cream can be found under Home made Ice cream. Yoghurt, muesli and bowls also benefit from a few pistachios or pieces of strawberry. Pancakes and waffles are upgraded in no time with caramel cream and fruit, and cupcakes get a lovely finish with brittle or sprinkles.
Toppings for cakes, drip cakes and tarts
With toppings for cakes, it is all about the combination. For a drip cake, pair a glaze from the Drip icing category with meringues, chocolate pearls or nuts on top. You will find further decorations under Meringues & marshmallows, Chocolate crispy pearls, Chocolate decorations and Sugar sprinkles. Cocoa nibs from the Cocoa powder & cocoa nibs category add a bitter note, and with Syrups you can give creams and ice cream extra flavour. On tarts and loaf cakes, candied yuzu peel, glacé cherries or pistachios make an elegant finishing touch.
Frequently asked questions about toppings
How should I store caramel cream once opened?
Follow the instructions on the label. Close the jar tightly after use and always take the cream out with a clean spoon.
Do freeze-dried fruits go soft?
Yes, they absorb moisture and lose their crispness. Sprinkle them onto yoghurt, ice cream or creams just before serving and keep the pack tightly closed in a dry place.
Which toppings suit a drip cake?
Meringues, chocolate pearls, brittle and fruit are tried and tested choices. Add the toppings while the drip glaze has not yet fully set so that they stick well.
