What will help make the dish more palatable, brighter and tastier, turning it into an edible work of art? Well of course toppings! This is a collective concept of everything that is placed or watered on top of a dish. In the confectionery industry, for example, they include syrups, and chocolate chips, and nuts, and berries, and whipped cream. Surely you have noticed more than once that a portion of regular ice cream costs almost half the price than the same, but with the addition of sauce and sprinkles. Thus, toppings are not only a delicious addition to already bored desserts, but also a way to draw attention to the dish.
Great variety
It’s not so difficult to make a cake or cake, it’s more difficult to decorate it so that when you look at it, guests salivate. And here toppings will help you. Take, for example, syrup, chocolate or caramel sauce and apply a grid or patterns on the surface of the dessert, and you can even write on the cake with the help of which event it was prepared. Or whip a small amount of fat cream, place them in a pastry bag and place roses or shells on the cake, and place them on a delicious berry of cherries, strawberries, raspberries or a slice of kiwi or banana. Yes, fruits and berries can also be toppings.
If you have a large family, then you probably bought a bucket or just a large pack of ice cream. As you can see, the assortment is not too large: as a rule, it consists of cream and chocolate ice cream. Toppings are an excellent way to turn boring balls of ice cream into a bright and tasty dish. Anything will do - chocolate, nuts, cocoa, ground cookies, berries, syrups and marmalade. There are many ideas, because the variety of toppings and syrups can be infinitely changed and combined. Wonderful combinations of strawberries and cream, chocolate and cookies, bananas and caramel will please you and your family more than ice cream itself. Unleash your imagination.
Cooking Topping
Whipped cream cocktails garnished with candied cherries on top, or a slice of cake with crispy caramel mesh on top - what could be better? In the home kitchen, you rarely see something like this, because toppings are more of a commercial invention: the more fillers in coffee, ice cream, cake and cocktail, the more expensive the dish is. In addition, some types of toppings are too complicated to prepare and cannot be repeated at home. Another part of the additives is simply impossible to get because of their lack of retail sales, this applies to special types of sauces and syrups. In order to uniqueize their assortment, individual companies order more and more new combinations from the flavorists (those who create flavors and flavorings) and give them extremely interesting names, for example, Blue Sky syrup topping or Silver Jasmine. But you can experiment with tastes at home, and many complex recipes become simple after some training. Next time, when you decide to invite guests or arrange a holiday for your child, stock up on all kinds of toppings and start creating.
