Food Coloring

Add a touch of romance to your Valentine’s Day treats with pink or red food coloring! Whether you’re making cupcakes, macarons, or chocolate-covered strawberries, these vibrant hues bring the perfect pop of color to your creations. Use pink for a soft, romantic vibe or red for a bold, passionate statement. Add a velvet finish with a beautiful velvet spray to take your desserts to the next level.

Decorative Sprinkles

Nothing says Valentine’s Day like fun and festive sprinkles. For a minimal approach, a light dusting of tiny red and pink sprinkles can add a subtle pop of color to frosted cookies or cupcakes, enhancing their charm without overwhelming the design. If you’re looking to go all out opt for a fun blended sprinkle mix full of color and a variety of textures and shapes.

Icings and Drips

Cake drips and cookie icings are the ultimate finishing touches that can take your cakes, cookies, and even dipped treats from ordinary to extraordinary. Cake drips, often made from ganache or colored chocolate are used to add a “drip” effect down the sides of cakes, creating a visually stunning contrast with the cake’s surface. Available in a variety of vibrant colors and flavors, they can be customized to match any theme or occasion. Cookie icings offer a smooth, glossy finish & are perfect for creating intricately designed Valentine’s Day cookies. 

Royal Icing & Gumpaste Flowers

Nothing says I love you more than flowers. Royal icing and gumpaste flowers are the perfect decorative elements to add a touch of elegance and romance to your Valentine’s Day desserts. Delicate and detailed, these handcrafted blooms mimic the beauty of real flowers. Whether you adorn a cake with a cascading bouquet or accent cupcakes with single blossoms, these edible flowers are sure to impress.

Valentine’s Day treats offer endless opportunities for creativity, and the right tools can make all the difference. Pink and red food coloring are perfect for cakes, cookies, or whipped icing, while chocolate drip adds flair to cakes or pastries. Edible glitter can enhance desserts with sparkle, and royal icing is ideal for intricate designs. Gumpaste flowers make for elegant decorations, and buttercream or whipped icing are versatile bases for various styles. Mix and match these products to create unique designs for every treat.
