Nut, coffee & caramel flavourings

Nut, coffee and caramel flavourings give cakes, macarons, pralines and ice cream a warm, rounded note. Nut lovers can choose pistachio flavouring, pistachio flavouring in 50 ml, pistachio flavour paste in 100 g, hazelnut flavouring, hazelnut flavouring in 50 ml, coconut flavouring, coconut flavouring in 50 g and the liquid bitter almond flavouring. For coffee fans there are mocha flavouring, liquid cappuccino flavouring, tiramisu flavouring and natural coffee flavouring. Sweet accents come from caramel flavouring, natural salted butter caramel flavouring and dulce de leche flavour paste in 100 g, together with natural flavour powders in pistachio, coconut and tonka bean and natural cocoa flavouring. The range includes products from FunCakes, Decora, Patisdecor, ScrapCooking and Terre Exotique.

Tips for nut flavourings

• The Terre Exotique pistachio flavour paste is unsweetened and made from ground, unroasted pistachios: 20 to 25 g per 500 g of mixture is a good starting point.
• Bitter almond is very intense; a few drops are enough for a whole cake.
• The natural flavour powders add flavour without colour, ideal for pale creams, mousses and yoghurt.
• Store the natural coffee and salted butter caramel flavourings at 0 to 4 °C once opened.

Paste, powder or liquid?

Flavour pastes do not make buttercream or ganache runnier, liquid flavourings spread quickly through batter and cream, and powders can be mixed dry into biscuit dough. Try pairing hazelnut with cocoa or mocha with caramel.

Frequently asked questions about nut, coffee and caramel flavourings

Can the flavour pastes be baked?

Yes, the FunCakes and Terre Exotique flavour pastes are bake-stable. Above 200 °C the flavour loses some strength, so add a little more.

What can the tiramisu flavouring be used for?

The FunCakes tiramisu flavouring is a paste made with Marsala wine, so it contains alcohol, and gives buttercream, bavarois, ice cream and fillings the taste of the classic dessert. It can also be baked into sponge or cupcake batter.
