Candy melts & cake icing
There are 19 products.
Candy melts, Deco Melts and cake icing are essentially the same thing: chocolate-flavoured melting wafers that set glossy and firm without tempering. Simply melt them in a bain-marie or the microwave and get started. The colourful Deco Melts come in white, natural white, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue, purple and black, plus a milk chocolate flavour and a brown caramel-flavoured version. The classic cake icing is available in dark, milk chocolate and white as well as lime green and orange; white cake icing and natural white Deco Melts also come in 1 kg.
Ideas and tips for coating
- Cake pops and cakesicles: Deco Melts are perfect for coating cake pops and for making cakesicles and popsicles. Dip the stick in a little melted coating first, then insert it into the ball – it will hold better.
- Drips and dipping: ideal for drips on cakes and for dipping cookies or strawberries. Cake icing coats bundt cakes, loaf cakes, gingerbread and butter biscuits in no time.
- Consistency: thin icing that is too thick with a little coconut fat or cocoa butter – never with water, or it will turn lumpy.
- Strong colours: to tint further, use only oil-based food colouring. The Deco Melts colours can also be mixed with each other.
Frequently asked questions about candy melts
Do candy melts need tempering?
No. Unlike couverture chocolate, they set glossy after melting without any tempering. Melt them over gentle heat in short bursts and stir in between.
Deco Melts or cake icing – which one for what?
For colourful cake pops, cakesicles and drips, Deco Melts are ideal thanks to their range of colours. For classic coatings on loaf cakes, bundt cakes or gingerbread, choose the dark, milk or white cake icing.
