- Con: It really needs a properly frozen surface to work its magic effectively.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Patisserie, a bustling cake shop in Bath, was looking for a way to modernise its cake finishes and reduce decorating time without investing in a full airbrush system. They switched from using cocoa powder dusts to the Pavoni Velvet Food Colouring Spray.
"The difference was immediate. We can now achieve a finish that looks like it took hours, in just a few seconds. The texture is incredible and our customers are always commenting on how beautiful the cakes look."
Robert Davies – Head Pastry Chef
The move helped them reduce final decoration time per cake by an average of 10%, allowing them to increase their daily output for bespoke orders.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, shake the can vigorously for at least one minute to ensure the cocoa butter is fully mixed.
- Always perform a small test spray onto a piece of kitchen paper to check for an even, fine mist.
- For best results, hold the can approximately 20-25cm away from the frozen surface.
- Apply in short, even bursts whilst rotating the item to build up a consistent, thin layer.
Keeping It Going
- After each use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle of any residue.
- Wipe the nozzle clean with a dry cloth to prevent clogging before storing.
- Store the can at room temperature (around 20-25°C), away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Do not refrigerate the can, as this can cause the cocoa butter to solidify and block the nozzle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this spray on non-frozen items like fresh buttercream?
A: It's specifically designed for frozen surfaces. Using it on non-frozen, soft surfaces won't create the intended velvet texture and may result in a greasy finish.
Q: What does it taste like? Will it alter the flavour of my dessert?
A: The cocoa butter base gives it a very subtle, slightly sweet taste of white chocolate that is designed to complement, not overpower, your dessert.
Q: How do I achieve a perfectly even coat?
A: The key is to spray from about 20-25cm away in short, continuous bursts while turning your dessert. Don't hold the spray in one spot for too long.
Q: Is the Pavoni KA328 food spray vegan-friendly?
A: This product is cocoa butter-based and suitable for vegetarians. We recommend checking the full ingredients list for specific dietary requirements like veganism.
Q: How many cakes can I decorate with one 400ml can?
A: This depends on the size of your desserts and the thickness of the coating, but one can is very efficient and can typically cover numerous cakes or dozens of individual pastries.
Q: Why does the surface have to be frozen?
A: The cold temperature is what causes the fine mist of cocoa butter to solidify on contact, creating the signature textured, velvet-like shell.
Q: Does the colour stain hands or surfaces?
A: Yes, as with any food colouring, it can stain. We recommend working in a well-ventilated area, covering your work surface, and wearing gloves.
Q: How should I store the can after opening?
A: Store it at room temperature. Make sure to clean the nozzle after each use by spraying it upside down for a second to prevent clogging.

Explore more from PavoniWhy a Cocoa Butter Base Makes All the Difference
Ever wondered why this isn't just another food colouring? It's all down to the cocoa butter base. Think of it like this: water-based colourings can make frozen surfaces a bit wet or icy. But cocoa butter is a fat, and when you spray this ultra-fine mist onto a frozen cake or ice cream, it solidifies almost instantly. This rapid setting is what creates that signature 'velvet' or 'suede' texture – it's actually millions of tiny, solidified droplets. This method not only looks stunning but also adds a delicate, chocolatey richness that melts in the mouth, rather than a layer of simple colour. It’s the secret to that truly professional patisserie finish.
