Valentine’s Dessert Decorations, Edible Love Notes for the ones you Love!

This is a lovely holiday, Valentine’s Day. A day to share your love, with notes, and some sweet love bites.  A little wiki history

The day was first associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. In 18th-century England, it evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as “valentines”). In Europe, Saint Valentine’s Keys are given to lovers “as a romantic symbol and an invitation to unlock the giver’s heart”, as well as to children, in order to ward off Saint Valentine’s Malady.[6] Valentine’s Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid.

Keys, hearts, doves, Cupid…images and sentiments of courtly love with sweet confections makes this a popular holiday around the world. How sweet you’ll be if you adorn your Valentine’s Day treats with edible images expressing your affections. How about modernized expressions? Try out some emojicons on cupcakes or cookies…how many ways to say “I love you”!

Share your self-expression and make your own sweet decorations or ask us for ideas.

Here are some heart expressions by bakers, chocolate-makers, caterers and party creators…enjoy!

Custom Decorating Brownies At Home Guide

Posted on by Posted in Articles, Blog Entries, Uncategorized

Decorating Brownies

While my friend Deb was visiting, we made brownies and decided to custom decorate the brownies using melted white chocolate – easy and yum! I like using melted white chocolate, the topper sets as soon as the white chocolate dries and is simpler to transport.

To begin, melt the chocolate according to the packaging. We used Nestle white chocolate morsels, which are available at any supermarket. Follow the direction on the packaging. Since our microwave did not allow us to lower the power, we used the double-boiler and followed these instructions  exactly for melting white chocolate and it worked perfectly.

Once the white chocolate is melted spread the melted chocolate on the brownie – or any cookie you are want to decorate.

Building Specialty Cakes with YouCake Prints

Posted on by Posted in Articles, Blog Entries, Uncategorized

All of our cakes are special, but these cakes get the term “specialty cakes” because of the “irregular” edible prints that they inspired for sculpted cakes.

There is a tremendous opportunity to tell your story visually on cakes. For example, when you turn fifty – a todo list list becomes extra sweet, such as in this cake: First,  “Remind Mano to file the paper for the generator” and end by “rocking the next 50 years!”

ToDo List Sculpted Cake

 

At work, keep the office theme…Easel  and Post it Notes work great!

Easel cake and postits

 

Great for wedding or anniversary cakes…make a film strip of images

For irregular prints, contact us 212-358-779 or email us for a quote. Pricing depends on the project and includes the print and if needed design work and set up fee for multiple images. We make sure you will have a show-stopper!
