Sugar decor

Sugar decorations are the quickest way to turn a plain cake into a showstopper: a few candy eyes on a cupcake, sugar roses on a wedding cake or a colourful sprinkle mix on a birthday cake. In this category you will find more than 300 products – sprinkles, figures, flowers and motifs for almost every occasion. Everything is in stock in our own warehouse: order by 4 pm and your parcel leaves the same day by Swiss A-Post.

Tips from our bakery

Moisture is the biggest enemy of sugar decorations. On whipped cream, mousse or fresh buttercream, sugar figures draw in water, soften and the colours can bleed. So add them just before serving. On fondant or ganache they last much longer.

Fixing them in place: on fondant, a dab of water or a dot of royal icing is enough. On cupcakes, press figures gently into the frosting while it is still soft – our chocolate cupcake recipe makes a good base. Sprinkles stick best to fresh icing; once it has dried, they simply roll off.

Would you like to try fondant, embossers and royal icing with expert guidance? Our cake decorating course in Adliswil near Zurich is the ideal place to start.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put sugar decorations on a cream cake?

Yes, but only shortly before serving. After a few hours on a moist surface, sugar figures go soft and the colour runs. For a cake that has to stand for a while, a layer of ganache or fondant is a better base.

Which decorations work on a drip cake?

XL crunchy balls and chocolate pearls add glossy accents to the drip, while a Super Streusel themed mix brings colour to the top. For the drip itself, follow our drip cake recipe.

How should I store an opened pack?

Tightly closed, dry, away from light and at room temperature – not in the fridge, where condensation forms. The best-before date, ingredients and allergens are shown on the pack.
