The 90 g jar more than covers the needs of a workshop over 1 to 2 months of regular production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7220; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 16px;\"\u003eCan they be used on dry fondant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Apply a thin layer of royal icing with a brush or a bit of buttercream as edible glue where you want to fix the pearls, then place them with tweezers or clean fingers. Let dry for 30 minutes before handling the cake to ensure good adhesion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7220; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 16px;\"\u003eDo the pearls melt on contact with buttercream?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, Azucren pearls remain intact in direct contact with buttercream, whipped ganache, or stabilized whipped cream. The shellac coating protects the outer layer for several hours. For very prolonged display (cake shown in a showcase for more than 48 hours), apply the pearls on the day of the event to maintain their perfect hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7220; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 16px;\"\u003eHow to prevent the pearls from rolling off and falling from the cake?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree professional techniques: 1) apply on a fresh surface immediately after icing, 2) use a bit of royal icing as a spot glue for large 7 mm pearls, 3) gently press each pearl into the wet surface to ensure adhesion. The 1.5 mm pearls naturally hold by mass effect, the 7 mm ones require more attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7220; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 16px;\"\u003eAre they really 100% edible?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Azucren pearls are made from sugar, wheat starch, glucose syrup, and dextrose, with colorant E172 (natural iron oxide) and coating agent shellac (insect secretion allowed in food). All ingredients comply with European regulations on food additives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7220; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 16px;\"\u003eWhy use a size mix rather than uniform pearls?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe size mix creates a much more dynamic and organic visual effect than uniform pearls. It is the signature of high-end professional cake designers: reproducing a natural \"pearl embroidery\" rather than a military alignment. \"Wedding dress couture\" effect justifying a premium selling price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7220; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 16px;\"\u003eCan they be stored after opening the jar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, reseal the jar tightly after each use. Store at room temperature (15-22°C) away from light. Shelf life after opening: up to the best before date indicated on the jar (usually 18 to 24 months after manufacture). The pearly effect may slightly diminish near the end of shelf life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7220; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 16px;\"\u003eIs it suitable for specific diets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVegan: not recommended, the coating agent shellac is of animal origin (insect secretion). Gluten-free: no, contains wheat starch. Halal and Kosher: to be verified case by case with Azucren for precise certification. Suitable for vegetarian diets (depending on interpretation, shellac is tolerated by some vegetarian diets).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7220; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 16px;\"\u003eIs there a choking hazard with 7 mm pearls?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 mm pearls may pose a risk for children under 3 years old if inhaled. For cake orders intended for young children (1st birthdays, baptisms), it is recommended either to mention this warning to customers, remove the large pearls before serving, or use only the 1.5 mm pearl jar sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7220; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 16px;\"\u003eWhy choose Azucren over Wilton?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAzucren and Wilton are two recognized references in edible decorations. Azucren is Spanish and specializes in a natural pearly effect, ideal for wedding cakes in natural light. Wilton is American and offers a more pronounced shine, better suited for children's birthday cakes or very colorful compositions. The choice depends on the desired decoration style: Azucren for European refinement, Wilton for the American pop effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"pl-h2\"\u003eTo go further\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pl-arsenal\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/cake-design\"\u003eCake Design universe\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/celebrations\"\u003eCelebrations and events\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/themes\"\u003eEvent themes\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/pates-a-sucre\"\u003eSugar pastes\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/love\"\u003eLove and wedding collection\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/cake-card\"\u003eCake Card holders\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/lissages\"\u003eSpatulas and finishing tools\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/nouveautes\"\u003eNew at Patissland\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pl-tip\"\u003ePatissland, partner of demanding pastry chefs.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AZUCREN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50700679840083,"sku":"DE64130","price":3.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0108\/6167\/4596\/files\/perles-de-sucre-blanches-15-4-and-7-mm-90g-azucren-1.jpg?v=1772156211","url":"https:\/\/patistopsland.com\/en\/products\/perles-de-sucre-blanches-1-5-4-7-mm-90g","provider":"Patissland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
