Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
A high-end patisserie in Bath, 'The Sweet Crate', was looking for a way to enhance their dessert presentation for their window display and catering orders without adding significant labour time. They decided to trial the Pavoni Dark Brown Velvet Spray on their frozen chocolate mousses and cheesecakes.
"The Pavoni spray is fantastic. It gives our cakes a finish that looks like it took hours, but it's literally seconds of work. Our customers have definitely noticed the improved quality and the rich, professional look."
Samuel Jones – Head Pastry Chef
The business reported that items finished with the spray saw a notable increase in sales, contributing to a 15% rise in their average dessert transaction value.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting the Best Results
- For a perfect finish, ensure your cake or dessert is frozen solid (ideally at -18°C).
- Before using, shake the can vigorously for at least a minute.
- Hold the can approximately 20-25cm away from the surface and spray in short, even strokes.
- Always work in a well-ventilated area or use a spray booth to contain the mist.
Storage and Care
- Store the can at room temperature (around 20°C), never in the fridge or freezer.
- After each use, turn the can upside down and spray for 2-3 seconds to clear the nozzle.
- Wipe the nozzle clean with a paper towel before replacing the cap securely.
- Keep the can away from direct sunlight, flames, or any source of heat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this on a non-frozen cake?
A: It is not recommended. The velvet effect is created by the cold surface causing the cocoa butter to crystallise instantly on contact. On a room temperature surface, it will not create the desired texture.
Q: Is this product ready to use from the can?
A: Yes, absolutely. Just shake the can very well and it's ready to spray. No heating or mixing is required.
Q: What does 'E171-Free' actually mean?
A: It means the product does not contain Titanium Dioxide (E171), a whitening agent that is being phased out in many food applications due to regulatory changes.
Q: How should I store the can once opened?
A: Store it at a stable room temperature (around 20-25°C), away from heat sources or direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate it, as this can affect performance.
Q: What's the best technique for an even coat?
A: Maintain a distance of 20-25cm from the dessert. Apply the spray in short, continuous bursts while moving your hand smoothly to cover the entire area without oversaturating any one spot.
Q: Does the dark brown velvet effect spray add a strong flavour?
A: It has a very subtle, neutral chocolatey taste from its cocoa butter base, which is designed to complement, not overpower, your dessert.
Q: How do I stop the nozzle from clogging?
A: The best way is to clean it after every use. Simply turn the can upside down and spray for a couple of seconds until only clear gas comes out. This purges the nozzle of any colour.
Q: Can I layer different colours of velvet spray?
A: Yes, you can create beautiful gradients and multi-coloured effects by layering different shades. Just ensure the first layer is fully set before applying the next.

Explore more from PavoniMore Than Just Colour: The Cocoa Butter Advantage
Ever wondered how velvet sprays achieve that unique, fabric-like texture? The secret is in the cocoa butter base. Cocoa butter is the natural fat extracted from the cocoa bean. When you spray this onto a very cold, frozen surface, the atomised droplets of warm cocoa butter freeze on impact, crystallising into a fine, matte layer. It’s this rapid change in temperature that creates the stunning velvet effect.
Think of it like frost forming on a cold window pane, but instead of ice, it's a delicious, fine layer of chocolatey goodness creating that beautiful pattern. This is why it doesn't work on room-temperature items. Unlike simple colourants, the cocoa butter base is an active ingredient that contributes to the texture and premium finish of your final product, making it look and feel truly special.
Who Should Buy This?
- Boutique Bakeries: For adding a premium, velvety finish to signature cakes, entremets, and special occasion pastries.
- Hotel Pâtissiers: To create stunning dessert presentations for fine dining restaurants, room service, and high tea services.
- Artisan Chocolatiers: Perfect for giving handmade chocolates and bonbons a sophisticated, contemporary texture and appearance with ease.
- Dessert Parlours & Gelaterias: An ideal way to instantly elevate the look of frozen desserts, mousses, and ice cream cakes.
