Look or taste - what is most appealing aspect about a chocolate? In fact, both contribute to its worth. However, in the first instance, it’s the look that triggers the psychological feeling and craving inside us. Food companies control the mind of consumers with texture and design. Here are five ways to make it happen with edible sheet chocolate decoration.
#1. Use Edible Sheets to Create a Neat-N-Clean Design
We all know how important hygiene is for good health. Cheers! It does wonders for your bakery products too. With a clean decorative idea, you can make your chocolate not just more attractive but more loveable. Edible printers help you get the design of your choice on the edible sheet. Moroever, by using edible designing software, you can enhance the design further by personalizing it with your own pictures, logo or designs. An edible printer purchase from Icinginks will bring you free access to this software.
#2. Print Edible Sheet with Desirous Edible Color
Have you noticed the color used by restaurants or fast food brands in their logos, menus, napkins or table cloths? Dominos has red and blue colors in its logo, Mcdonald’s uses a red background to create its symbol – M in yellow. The color yellow has also been found to stimulate your appetite because yellow is associated with happiness. Your brain actually secretes more serotonin, a feel-good hormone, when you see yellow. Color stimulates appetite so using the right edible ink color is of paramount importance. Honestly, even without professional education in psychology and gastronomy, we all understand how instinctively the human mind responds to the magic of color.
#3. Use Pre-Cut Edible Designs
Using pre-cut designs is a great way to decorate your chocolate cakes or cookies. Pre-cut circular, heart-shaped, and other designs are readily available nowadays. Instead of using edible frosting sheets and then cutting them into the desired shapes, you can order the designed or pre-cut shapes. If you need in bulk and want to make it affordable, you may create the shapes using edible designing software and then take them out of the sheet.
#4. Use Flexible Designer Edible Sheet
Flexible sheets are different from the normal frosting sheets. They can be wrapped or bent around cakes, cupcakes, cookies, chocolate candies, apple candy, fondant, royal icing etc. without distorting the image printed on it. For example, if you want to create a beautiful boundary around your cake, or want your cookies to shimmer well in the design, flexible frosting sheets could be the best option.
#5. Use Wafer Sheet for 3-Dimensional Decoration Idea
Thinking of Valentine Day cake ideas featuring a dancing ballerina, or a blossoming red rose? Don’t just imagine, you can have them in reality with wafer papers. Decorations done with wafer paper sit straight up on top of the cake’s icing. Wafer paper dissolves in water only, so it is used commonly on Jell-O desserts, fruitcakes, gelatin transfers and marzipan.
