As you know, a failed icing means a log that has to be redone at 10pm on Christmas Eve. A successful icing means a customer who takes out his or her phone to take a photo before even tasting. At Unipatis, we don’t sell you dreams, we give you solutions that work, every time.
Le Blanc, C’est Tendance (et Ça Tombe Bien)
Ivory white is everywhere these days: minimalist window displays, country-chic weddings, sleek christenings. Your customers are asking for it because they see it on Instagram. The problem? Getting the white just right is technical. Too thick and it looks amateurish. Too thin and you see the flaws. With our ivory white range, you choose the effect, we guarantee the result.
Nacré Ivoire: The “Ganache Montée” effect without the Galère
What is it? A glossy glaze based on French UHT cream that imitates the appearance of a smooth ganache montée. Subtle shine, no aggressive sheen.
Ideal for :
- High-quality window displays
- Elegant Yule logs (perfect with red fruit or vanilla)
- Chic birthday cakes
Chef’s tip: Apply it at 35°C to a frozen entremet. In 30 seconds, it sets and gives a pearly appearance that catches the natural light in your shop window. Customers think you’ve spent 20 minutes smoothing a ganache. You’ve saved time.
Plus: Stable in the freezer. You can ice your desserts on Monday for the weekend.
Opéra Ivoire Mat: The Instagram-Perfect White
What is it? An ultra-covering fondant with an absolute matte finish. The “concrete white” of pastry.
Ideal for :
- Modern set-pieces
- Minimalist wedding cakes (the #1 trend in 2025)
- Hiding the imperfections of a complicated set-up
Chef’s tip: It’s the icing that forgives all. Has your sponge cake broken a corner? Has your cream bubbled? Opéra Mat covers it all and gives an impeccable finish, worthy of a professional cake design. Application temperature: 40°C.
Killer decor: Place a few fresh flowers or red fruit on this matt white. Contrast guaranteed, zero effort, maximum effect. This is the “less is more” trend: a neutral background, simple but precise decor.
Façon Rocher Blanc: Texture + Solidity = Travel Cake
What is it? A crunchy glaze inspired by the white version of Ferrero Rocher. Visible grainy texture, crunchy in the mouth.
Ideal for :
- Travelling Yule logs (the crunch protects the cake)
- Travel cakes sold whole
- Rustic chic” creations (raw texture, handcrafted)
Chef’s tip: Apply generously with a spatula or knife. Don’t look for the perfect smoothness, irregular texture is part of the charm. What’s more, it’s easy to transport: your customers can take their log home without it being crushed.
The perfect match: Interior praline-hazelnut or salted butter caramel. Crunchy white + melting caramel = a winning combination.
Velours Ivoire: Le Coup de Pistolet Magique
What is it? A ready-to-use velvet spray. Velvety, suede-like effect, ultra-soft, powdery matte finish.
Ideal for :
- Express finishing on frozen entremets
- Instant “wow” effect in seconds
- Top-of-the-range logs (velvet for instant luxury)
Chef’s tip: Take your entremet out of the freezer, spray twice at 20 cm and you’re done. The velvet settles evenly, masks small imperfections and gives that incomparable visual touch. Your customers will want to caress it (but don’t let on, fingerprints show!).
The combination: Ivory velvet + a few edible gold leaves or a sprig of frosted rosemary = the most photographed Yule log in your shop window.
Universal Instructions: 3 Golden Rules
- Temperature: Hot icing (35-40°C depending on type) on frozen dessert = perfect crystallization
- Speed: The faster you go, the smoother it is. No touch-ups, no ironing
- Storage: All freeze-stable. Freeze on Monday, sell on Saturday, same quality
