Hi all!
A while back i got the Amoretti sample kit... LOVED what I have used... however i have only used things in frostings and such, so adding to taste.
I know the extracts and such are supposed to be concentrated... do you have issues firing how much to use?
Also I have a cake coming up where they have requested a raspberry puree kinda filling...This will be a decorated cake, and most likely will not be able to be in the fridge once i start decorating. I had thought about using something from Amoretti, maybe their "Raspberry Compound" would work? Have you done this? Do you just spread a thin layer? I'm just not sure the best way to use it with out doing too much or too little.
Any help is appreciated!
I just got some samples from them and have not used them yet, but I did just make a raspberry filled cake that had to be let out of the fridge. I used the the Raspberry icing frits added to buttercream (OMG yummy!) and the henry and henry Raspberry sleeve filling. put a thin layer of both between each layer and torte'd layer. This cake was soooo yummy and EVERYONE raved about how good it tasted.
That is a thought with the H&H fillings... I always forget about them. thanky!
Anyone have experience using thee products?
I have used quite a few Amoretti products, my sister used to work for them. All of their compounds are shelf stable, so you can leave your cake out without a problem. The compounds are super concentrated, so I wouldn't use it as a filling itself. I add it to Bettercreame for a nummy mousse type filling. The swirls are meant to use at full strength or just swirled into something, so that would work. You should try their fondant, it is fantastic. I used to use it, but even with my sister's discount it was a little too pricey for my free cakes.
As for the amount to use, it is designed to be added per a weight ratio. I don't weigh my indredients, so I just eyeball and taste until I like it.
I didn't realize they did fondant. cool will check it out!
Thanks for clearing it up I had talked to oneone there a while back and they made it sound like i could use it as a filling... im so glad I checked here. I don't think she understood what i was looking for!
my raspberry filling is a jar of raspberry jam/preserves and a small box of raspberry jello ! I learned from someone of this site.
I just open a jar of jam and pour the jello powder in it.. put it in the microwave for a minute or so. until it is somewhat warmish... stir well. Then I put it in the fridg to set up... One of the best tips ever!!! Doesn't have to be in the fridg. Can do this with so many flavors!!
