These little sweet accents add an extra dimension to your bakes and delight young and old alike. You will find the full selection among the Christmas sugar pearl.
Sugar decorations and toppers with Christmas motifs
Is Christmas your favourite holiday and do you love decorating desserts with festive motifs? Then you have come to the right place! Our Christmas sugar decorations include sugar shapes of fir trees, Santas, candy canes, gingerbread men, reindeer, elves, sleighs, snowflakes and many other iconic figures, plus little sugar mushrooms for an enchanted forest. Each of these decorations is ready to adorn your cakes, Yule logs, cupcakes or Christmas gateaux. You will find more under Christmas sugar decor.
Once you have applied your mirror glaze or sprayed velvet spray onto your log, it is time for the toppers: Santa and reindeer toppers, golden stars and «Joyeux Noël» toppers, including one made of wood. For the Yule log there are also dedicated decorations such as the enchanted forest, as well as transfer sheets that are perfect for the ends of your log. Find more in Christmas log decoration. These details make all the difference and make your desserts look even more spectacular.
Gold, glitter and snow: festive sparkle
Nothing says Christmas like a touch of gold and glitter. With 22 or 24 carat edible gold leaf, you can finish chocolates and entremets like a professional. Glitter powders in gold, «Ruby» or «Golden Ginger», glitter sprays in silver, light gold and dark gold, and metallic colour sprays in gold, rose gold, silver and red create a shimmering finish. Gold and silver surface paints are ideal for painting details. For wintry effects, snow sugar and velvety glittering snow powder make your desserts look freshly snowed on.
Everything for decorating your chocolates
If you would like to make your own homemade chocolates this year but are not sure how to decorate them, this selection is just right for you. Here you will find the perfect elements to decorate your chocolates like a chocolatier: place a chocolate coffee bean on coffee-flavoured chocolates, caramel shards on caramel ones or small pieces of gold leaf on the rest. These decorations give your chocolate creations a professional and elegant touch.

Frequently asked questions about Christmas dessert decoration
How do I apply gold leaf to chocolates?
Pick up the gold leaf with a dry brush or tweezers and dab it onto the chocolate. Work with dry hands, otherwise it will stick to your fingers.
When should I add sprinkles?
Straight after icing or piping, while the surface is still moist. That way the decoration sticks reliably.
Can I use glitter spray on buttercream?
Yes, glitter and colour sprays can be applied to buttercream, fondant and chocolate. Spray in thin layers from a distance of about 20 cm.
How should I store sugar decorations?
Keep them dry, cool and tightly closed so that they do not absorb moisture and keep their colour.
