Tips for choosing ingredients, colors & flavors

When picking icing and fondant, think about the finish you want and how the dessert will be served: buttercream is soft and creamy, while rolled fondant gives a smooth, sculpted look, and royal icing dries firm for cookies and detailed piping. For flavor, use bakery emulsions and super-strength oils when you want bold flavor that stands up in baking or candy, and extracts for classic notes like vanilla and almond. Match your color type to your project: gel and powdered colors are great for most icings and batters, oil-based colors are best for chocolate and compound coatings, and airbrush or spray colors are ideal for soft shading. Always check the label on dusting powders to see whether they are FDA-approved, non-toxic, or decorative use only, and use them accordingly.
