HOW TO USE BERRY POWDERS IN CUPCAKE FROSTING
Bilberry and white chocolate cupcakes are a spectacular treat when the frosting is nicely piped over the top of the cake. The frosting in this recipe is piped with Russian bulbous tip, but it can also be piped with some other tip. The frosting is easy to pipe, and you can add a lot of it.
More conventionally, the cupcake is frosted with a very sweet buttercream frosting. These delicacies are decorated with a slightly lighter frosting made of cream, mascarpone and Biokia’s organic bilberry powder. The frosting gets its beautiful purple colour from the bilberry powder and that’s all you will need! You could also use Biokia’s organic lingonberry powder, which gives the filling a gentle pink color.
Please note that the frosting colour from berry powders may change slightly if it is held in fridge for a longer time, so it is best to frost the cupcakes just before serving.
The taste and color of Biokia’s Organic Berry Powder is preserved by gently air drying in a +42 – 46 degrees. Berry powders are an easy way to add plenty of vitamins and fibre to your diet as well as to sweet delicacies.
The cupcake hides super-delicious Biokia’s organic white chocolate bilberries that are Finnish, hand-picked forest bilberries covered with white chocolate. High-fibre bilberries are rich in vitamin E that protect cells from damage.
