Pecan Deluxe Boosts Red Velvet Revolution

12 Jun 2017 --- Pecan Deluxe Candy is fuelling the demand for red velvet indulgence with the launch of its new range of red velvet cake pieces.

Perfect for ice cream, desserts and chilled beverages, the cake pieces can also be combined with one of Pecan Deluxe’s other ingredients, cheesecake pieces, to create an authentic red velvet experience. Available in several sizes (6mm, 9mm and 12mm), the range is manufactured from “kitchen cupboard” ingredients, eschewing the artificial in favor of natural food extracts for color, alongside free range egg.

Supplied frozen in bulk, this premium product can also be twice baked to convert to ambient supply, thus extending its range of applications significantly to include yogurt topping, pot desserts – and of course as a top quality finish for frostings on bakery items such as cakes, muffins and doughnuts.

Pecan Deluxe R&D Director Liz Jones explains: “Although red velvet was originally a US confection, in recent times the cake has gained popularity across the globe. We have invested in extensive research and development to ensure that our red velvet cake pieces live up to the luxurious taste, texture and color expected of such a quality product – using entirely natural flavorings and colors.”

“Whether it’s a premium tubbed ice cream or an indulgent mousse dessert, or perhaps a delicious milkshake, food manufacturers and QSRs alike can be confident that Pecan Deluxe red velvet cake pieces are yet another innovative food tailoring solution that will ensure that their sweet foodstuffs stand out amongst mainstream competition,” she notes.

All Pecan Deluxe products – which include traditionally made but innovatively flavored fudges, moulded chocolate shapes, brownie pieces and praline nuts - are made using natural colors and flavorings in strict allergen controlled, BRC double A grade facilities, and the company is constantly innovating to develop new flavor and texture options.
