Unveiled!

SugarVeil Icing is a dry icing mixture that can be used
in many ways to decorate cakes, cookies and desserts. Mixing boiling water with
SugarVeil powder creates a new variety of decorative icing: one which combines
the fine detail of royal icing, the flexibility of buttercream and the piping
ease of whipped cream in one amazing product. SugarVeil may be spread on a mold
or piped.  You can work with it on or off
the cake, and when it is set, it can be cut with scissors and draped like
fabric onto or around a cake or plated dessert. SugarVeil contains no additives
or preservatives, and is gluten-free and OU Pareve.

When using SugarVeil some advance planning is required as
it needs to rest for a day or two before using the lace Confectioners’ Mats.
Beat SugarVeil again for a full minute before using it on the mat the next day.
When spreading, the mat may look as though it is completely covered, but it is
important to spread SugarVeil repeatedly lengthwise, crosswise, and diagonally
to be sure you got into all the tiny lines.

The amount of time needed for the icing to set once it
has been piped or molded is also dependent on humidity, and may be anywhere
from 15 minutes in an air conditioned environment, to overnight. It is best to
use SugarVeil on a day that has low humidity.

Paste food colors and flavors may be added to the
SugarVeil mixture. Mix the color with the dry SugarVeil before adding water.
 While the package directions suggest mixing the SugarVeil and water for 4
minutes in your mixer, decorating professionals have found that mixing for 10
minutes will help avoid pitfalls that may occur when using SugarVeil in a place
that has higher humidity levels.  And
since the extended mixing time will not harm the mixture, we think it’s a good
rule of thumb.

The easiest way to use SugarVeil is by spreading it on a
lace mat. The mats are very thin and flat to achieve the lacey open-work look
that is desired when using SugarVeil. 
Use an offset spatula to spread the mixture as evenly as possible across
the mat.  Use a bench scraper or longer
spatula to scrape away any excess mixture and allow it to set. When removing
the SugarVeil from the mat or parchment, you can dust your fingers with corn or
potato starch, and even lightly dust the decorations for easier handling. Peel
the lace carefully from the mat. If you are not directly placing the set
SugarVeil onto a cake, be sure to store the decorations between parchment sheets
in a zipped bag to keep out the humidity. 

In order to dry out the air, which will allow SugarVeil
to set faster, you need dry heat. A good solution to setting SugarVeil in high
humidity is to simply place the decorations into an oven set low. Other cake
decorators suggest actually baking the SugarVeil lace decorations for a bit of
time to add strength and stability to the pieces.

If after spreading the lace you have left it to set for
too long and it has started to dry, or if after removing a corner you discover
that it is too thin, spread SugarVeil again over the lace and scrape cleanly.
This second layer will strengthen and moisten partially-dried lace, and will
set quickly.

While working, keep unused SugarVeil mixture in a closed
container to keep it from drying.

We are really excited by this product and love that you
can create amazingly beautiful decorations with a few simple steps!
