Tips from our bakery

Mix the sizes: a few XL balls as accents with mini pearls around them looks lively rather than simply scattered. On a drip cake, place the balls while the glaze is still slightly tacky; once it has set, a dot of melted chocolate holds them in place. For the drip itself, see our drip cake icing and the drip cake recipe.

Crispy pearls like to stay dry. On cream, mousse or a moist frosting they soften over time. So decorate shortly before serving and store opened packs somewhere cool and dry, but not in the fridge.
