The SugarVeil® Icing Dispenser is a hand-held, air powered tool for drawing very fine decorative details with icings, sauces, chocolate, and light batters. Pastry decorations and plated dessert garnishes and are effortlessly dispensed by placing a finger over the flow control hole. The patented product is drip-free and is supplied with all accessories, including a 110V air pump.

What you do with it:
  • SugarVeil(TM) Confectionery Mix, when mixed with boiling water creates "SugarVeil Icing". It's nice and white like royal icing (but tastes much better - not too sweet, and completely neutral so you can flavor as you wish).
  • And, unlike royal, it is flexible so you can do your work off the cake onto greased parchment (tracing a pattern, if you wish - we've got five which can be downloaded on our site), and when set, peel it from the parchment to place it onto a contoured surface, or ruffle it like lace for the edge of a cake top.
  • Can be colored with paste, liquid, or powdered colors. Has got great elasticity, and does nice string work on the cake, too.
  • Flows easily either through a piping bag/parchment cone, or through the Icing Dispenser (also works in the AirPen).
  • The icing goes through three stages: wet (when applied), set (ready to remove from surface), and dry (depending upon humidity and surface it's placed upon. If icing does not crust, SugarVeil usually remains flexible.
  • If placed on fondant or icing that crusts, SugarVeil will completely dry to a delicate and very fragile dry. When dry, it has a consistency that melts on your tongue rather than a hard dry like royal icing.).
  • Setting takes anywhere from 30 min or so to overnight, depending upon humidity (can be speeded up or slowed down as per instructions in our web site, for example, placing it under a heat lamp, etc.).
  • SugarVeil Confectionery Mix comes in a 1 lb. bag, you mix up 1/2 cup at a time in a glass or stainless steel bowl (don't use soft water) - makes "gobs" of icing (will get a more precise measurement of that in the near future).
  • When set, SugarVeil can be dusted with gold dust or petal dust (it will adhere to the SugarVeil), likewise the set SugarVeil piece will itself adhere to the sides a freshly fondant or iced cake.
  • For the beginner, best is to try just small doodles and smaller pieces to get the hang of it and to time how long it takes to dry in their particular environment. You can also spread SugarVeil icing on a Silpat and comb through it with a notched grout tool and get an abundance of fine lines when set.
  • We're discovering new techniques daily, and will hopefully get the info onto the site soon!
The SugarVeil Icing Dispenser's roots are with the AirPen.
  • Basically, we took the AirPen and over a process (which took years and much hard work) addressed the many requests we had from cake decorators/confectionery artists.
  • The Icing Dispenser contains a stronger air pump, is calibrated specifically for icings and sugar work.
  • Other accessories included with the Icing Dispenser include "followers" which fit inside the cartridges and aid in piping aerated/whipped icings, a steel tool for removing the follower pistons, as well as more cartridges, storage plugs and tips so the user can devote half the cartridges to buttercream/fat based icings, and the other half to SugarVeil or other non-fat based icings.
  • Tips come with the Icing Dispenser including a bag of SugarVeil Confectionery mix as well.

  • The Icing Dispenser has an on/off switch, and the entire kit comes in a wonderful carry box with separate storage areas to organize all. We're really happy to have completed all the improvements just in time for ICES this year (2003).

HINTS FOR USING SUGAR VEIL SET from the maker of the Sugar Veil pen
Thought you might be interested in seeing holiday gingerbread people wearing SugarVeil skirts, sweaters, glasses, hair, etc. (techniques from the new Dessert Garnishes DVD). Michele at SugarVeil
click to enlarge picture
A few helpful tips for the SugarVeil Icing you have in stock.
1. When piping, use 1/3 c. boiling water to 1 c. SugarVeil (this is less water than noted on bag)
2. Pipe finely using a "0" or "1" tip - even a hairline of Sugarveil can be peeled from greased parchment
3. If lines are sticky, they are not yet "set"
4. When the mixture is made the day before, and the lines are piped finely, setting time is usually short, but to speed setting time:
* Prepare mixture 1-2 days prior to use
* Place in 100 degree oven, or oven with light/pilot light on [note: since my oven temp minimum is 175 degrees, I place the SugarVeil decorations on the stovetop while the oven is on 175 degrees]
* Place in a food dehydrator
* Place in the path of a fan or a heated air duct**
* Use a dehumidifier in room * Apply in finer lines * Increase ambient temperature of room
* Use heat lamp overhead (this also adds a patina sheen) Hope this is helpful

also, FYI - I've been decorating and dressing gingerbread men with SugarVeil and even cutting out their clothes from solid sheets of SugarVeil (as shown in the new Dessert Garnishes DVD you carry) smoothed on a Silpat or greased parchment - so cute and works great!
USING CRICUT WITH SUGARVEIL ICING
Rick-Rack Trim
Spread white SugarVeil very thinly onto the silicone mat. When set, peel from surface and cut with decorative scissors. Wrap around cake.
Stenciled Shapes
Place stencil on mat & spread SugarVeil across stencil scraping tightly; spread second layer of SugarVeil thickly over stencil.  Peel stencil by rolling stencil very slowly back, allowing SugarVeil to "pull back into itself" and form a dimensional motif. Allow to set.
SugarVeil Bow
Smooth a large solid chartreuse area. Allow to set. Cut two solid pieces 4" wide and 12" long, and one bow center 2" x 3". Stencil a white decorative border. Allow to set. Fold a hem at each lengthwise edge, moisten the edge of the SugarVeil, and encapsulate the a folded wafer paper strip in the hem. 

Gather each crosswise end to the short wafer paper strips. Bring both gathered edges to center of bow, moisten back of one gathered edge and slightly overlap the other. Twist other long strip in half for tails of bow.

Gather center piece of bow at short end and attach to short pieces of wafer paper. Assembling bow tails behind bow and angle-trim edges. Fashion bow into 3D shape and stuff with rolled parchment until dry. Using one white and one chartreuse line of SugarVeil, wrap lines around skewer to cover. Place skewer in center of cupcake and mount bow atop skewer. Use the Icing Dispenser fitted with a pink tip (or a parchment cone) to add tiny dots on the edge of the bow once it is in place.

Prepare SugarVeil mixture as per instructions. Place a mound of SugarVeil at the edge of a greased parchment or Silpat® surface.
 

Select an edge of the Confectionery Comb and draw the comb through SugarVeil across the surface. Use a downward pressure to assure clean, parallel lines.

Veil Technique

   1. Comb through SugarVeil mixture using the "Deep Lines" edge of the Confectionery Comb.
   2. Using a parchment cone or the SugarVeil Icing Dispenser, pipe tiny dots between lines 1 and 2, spaced 1-1/2" apart.
   3. Pipe dots between lines 2 and 3 spaced 1-1/2"apart, but offset the positioning (as in the placement of bricks) so that the dots are centered between the previous line of dots.
   4. Connect lines 3 and 4 repeating same dot pattern as between lines 1 and 2. Continue alternating dot pattern through the remainder of the lines.
   5. When set, peel from surface and expand lines to drape as a veil.
 

Removing it when dry
Triangle Spirals

   1. Comb through SugarVeil using the "Medium"or"Deep Lines" edge of the Confectionery Comb.
   2. Using a ball or other blunt-edged tool, scrape a series of "W’s" in the combed lines, creating triangles.
   3. When set, grasp the top point of the triangle with one hand and, offsetting slightly, pinch bottom corners of the triangle together with the other hand. Twist to form a spiral coil (tighter twisting forms a gradation of loops).
   4. Place by attaching each end to icing or plated dessert.


Knotted and Twisted Laces
   1. Comb through SugarVeil mixture using the "Heavy Lines" edge of the Confectionery Comb.
   2. When set, twist, knot, or tie individual laces into bows.

SugarVeil® Sparklers
   1. Comb through SugarVeil mixture using the "Fine Lines" edge of the Confectionery Comb.
   2. Connect the combed lines by piping perpendicular lines across them, spacing 1" apart. Each piped line will serve as a center "spine" of a sparkler.
   3. When set, use small scissors to cut through the series of combed lines, cutting evenly between the "spines".
   4. Twist sparkler spine onto a fine rice stick. (Rice sticks are delicate rice noodles, available at Thai grocers).
