What makes for the best dessert in Atlanta? How would you pick a delightful mango dessert in your city? Of course there is a long list of things that go into making the final product but let’s begin with the following first.

  • Any dessert to be labeled as delicious has to have the main flavor (that of the primary ingredient) come through crystal clear and significantly louder than any other in the preparation.

  • Not just this but there has to be a play of secondary flavors and textures as well unless one is focusing on creating something like a soufflé or compote.

  • Your chef will look for something that can add more contrast in its color, texture, and temperatures as well to keep things interesting and keep the diner engaged right from first bite to last.

  • This has to be anything but confusing and the diner should not take one flavor to be another and get overwhelmed by the presence and interplay of too many ingredients.

  • If the recipe calls for a sauce, is it going to be the star or just a supporting texture or layer in the main dish, this has to be sorted out as well.

These are just a few aspects that a perfect dessert in Atlanta has to meet. Following are some decorative ideas that work wonders to impress the diner. Yes, because apart from this what makes a good and delicious dessert more impactful is the little decorations and details that we often tend to overlook. Some fine examples of such decorations are given below. Don’t forget to try them on your creations and notice your guests rejoice with pleasure.

Move Beyond The Usual Cake Frosting And Icing

Fondant

Do you know how to play with fondants? These can be rolled into a shape or a character that you desire and can be frozen overnight so they will stay still and in place. You don’t have to worry about them melting because their melting point is quite high. They can be turned into absolutely any shape, object, character and trinket you want and can be placed on any dessert to enhance their look and feel. Many chefs like to use food color to add the hue of their choice to them and make the whole ensemble look even more realistic and appealing. Some of the most common items that can be made out of a fondant are fake dolls, bows and rainbows, pet animals and replicas of your favorite heirlooms, shoes, belts, hats, prehistoric miniature creatures and what not!

Sugar

Have you ever heard of sugar crystals that make for the perfect diamond substitutes? Recently there have been a lot of couples that have shown interest in fruit flavored wedding cakes adorned with their pieces of accessories. While mango seems to be the fruit of the season, many brides are taking the liberty of adding this flavor to their special day and combining that with their favorite items from their jewelry boxes. Sugar being transparent and having a high melting point becomes the ideal ingredient with which stones and gems can be created and anything from a bracelet to a necklace can be replicated. There are molds and cases and a lot of guns that produce the perfectly shaped sugar crystals that resemble the precious stones that adorn your special jewelry items and accessories and are finding their way to the wedding cake.
