The Enchanted Cream
The Enchanted Cream is a powder mix that transforms, in just a few minutes, into a snow-white, light, smooth and perfectly stable cream. Containing no butter, it is more digestible than many other creams and wins you over with its airy yet soft texture.
Its neutral flavour allows you to add the aroma of your choice, while its whiteness makes it an ideal base for all your food colourings. Easy and quick to prepare, it holds its shape beautifully, making it perfect for decorating your cakes, cupcakes or layer cakes.
Taste
The Enchanted Cream has a fairly neutral taste, with a slight hint of vanilla. It is also available in a chocolate version.
Thanks to this neutral base, it can be flavoured as desired: food aromas, fruit purées, liqueurs, chocolate chips… anything is possible to personalise it.
Consistency
The consistency of the Enchanted Cream is simply impressive. It stays perfectly firm, even after several days, and holds its shape even when served in warm weather.
For optimal stability at room temperature, it is recommended to prepare it with water only.
Light and soft, it is clearly different from whipped cream, which is often perceived as heavier and fattier. And that is precisely what makes the Enchanted Cream so enjoyable: an airy, stable base perfect for a wide range of creations.
Storage
Once whipped, the Enchanted Cream can easily be stored for 5 to 6 days in the refrigerator, well covered. Before reusing, simply mix it lightly to restore its full softness.
It can also be frozen for up to 3 months, without altering its texture after thawing.
Available formats
At Cakelicious, the Enchanted Cream is available in several formats to suit all needs:
• 200 g, 450 g, 900 g, 4 kg and 10 kg for the white version
• 450 g for the chocolate version

Preparation for 1 portion
(information also indicated on the packaging)
Beat 150 g of the mix with 100 ml of milk and 100 ml of water for 3 minutes at high speed, until you obtain a light and firm cream.
Then flavour the Enchanted Cream as desired. Being white in colour, it can easily be tinted with our gel colourings to match any theme or decoration.
It is also possible to prepare it with 200 ml of milk for a creamier result, or 200 ml of water for a lighter version, ideal in warm weather.
One portion of Enchanted Cream is enough to fill two layers and coat a 25 cm diameter cake, or to decorate between 24 and 30 cupcakes, depending on the quantity used.
The Enchanted Cream is ideal for:
• Filling and piping a cake: a light yet stable texture that is also perfectly suited to layer cakes.
• Decorating cupcakes: used with a piping bag and a suitable nozzle, it allows you to create clean and elegant decorations worthy of a professional result.
• Piping rosettes, flowers or swirls: its perfect hold makes fine and detailed piping easy.
• Adding an original and fun touch to cakes: perfect for personalising your creations according to the seasons or occasions.

Réponse
By: Karin On 2025-02-11la crème enchantée est moins stable et ne figera pas aussi bien qu'une crème au beurre. De plus, si vous insérez d'autre préparation au centre du gâteau, la crème enchantée risque de ne pas faire barrière". Concernant le transport, si vous optez pour la crème enchantée à base d'eau, vous pourrez faire un long trajet. Bonne journée."
