Unlock the Magic of Colour: Exploring Saracino’s New Pearl Powders for Cake Decorating

Welcome to this month’s Sweet Pastry Chat – your insider scoop on the latest cake decorating trends and tips! Whether you’re a seasoned cake artist or a hobby baker with a love for sugar craft, this one’s for you. Today, we’re diving into the shimmering world of edible pearl powders and not just any powders, but the fabulous new additions from Saracino: Emerald Green and Pearl Blue.

These vibrant newcomers to Saracino’s Powder Pearl range are here to elevate your decorating game. From lustrous cakes to elegant sugar flowers, they’re the secret ingredient for adding sparkle and sophistication.

💚 Emerald Green: More Than Just a Colour

When the Emerald Green pearl powder landed in our hands, it was an immediate show-stopper. This isn’t just a green – it’s a captivating blend with a hint of gold that gives it a luxurious, multidimensional finish.

Top Cake Decorating Tip:
Always test your edible powder mix on spare sugar paste before applying it to your final cake. Colours may shift depending on consistency, and a little experimenting goes a long way in avoiding those “I wish I hadn’t” moments!

🖌️ How to Use Saracino Pearl Powders

To get the best out of your Saracino pearl powder, mix it with rejuvenator spirit. This ensures the powder dissolves fully and avoids any unwanted grainy texture on your cake surface.

• Apply in thin coats – one is good, but two coats really make the shimmer pop, especially with the gold-tinted Emerald Green.

• Use a large, soft round brush to buff the surface – this creates a smooth, gleaming effect that looks stunning under light.

💡 Pro Tip: Vary the concentration of your mix to achieve different shades. With just one colour, you can create up to five unique tones – from deep green to a subtle minty shimmer.

🤎 Cocoa Butter Compatibility

One pleasant surprise? The Saracino pearl powders work beautifully with cocoa butter. The match was so seamless, it echoed the same rich green tone as seen on the cake – proof that these powders aren’t just pretty, they’re versatile too.

🎨 Why Saracino Powders Deserve a Spot in Your Kit

• Intense pigmentation for strong colour payoff

• Smooth, satin finish perfect for both modern and traditional cake designs

• Works on sugar paste, modelling chocolate, and even chocolate ganache

• Bendable with spirits or cocoa butter for different finishes

🌟 Final Thoughts

If you’re looking to elevate your cake decorating with edible shimmer, the new Emerald Green and Pearl Blue from Saracino are must-haves. Whether you’re dusting delicate flowers, adding drama to cake tiers, or exploring painted finishes, these powders give you professional-grade results.
