Decorating sugar
products for the
food industry

Our decorating sugar products transform bakery goods and confectionery into a feast for the eyes. Where plain crystal sugar would long before have dissolved, an ultra-thin film of vegetable fat protects these sugar variants from moisture. They are the perfect choice, for example, for frozen baked goods: Sprinkled on before freezing, they keep their appearance even after defrosting – with no need to add extra decoration.

Our decorating sugar products and their uses

We supply food industry producers with a wide range of decorating products with very special properties – we guarantee you will find the right product for your needs. What’s more, we make customised sugar mixtures – 100 percent tailored to your wishes and specifications.

Decorating crystal sugar


Several round quark balls are evenly coated in sugar.
Colourful fruit jellies coated in sugar.
Various biscuits, including pretzel-shaped and rectangular ones, are sprinkled with coarse sugar crystals.

Our decorating crystal sugar is specially sieved sugar in different grain sizes, from fine to coarse. They add the delicious finishing touch to jelly candies, marshmallow confectionery, and fresh and frozen bakery goods – doughnuts, Danish pastries, and the like. In addition to various vegetable fats, flavourings can also be added to our decorating sugar,e.g., real cinnamon or vanilla.

Decorating nib sugar

Decorating nib sugar is ideal for any application where a moisture-resistant decoration with a special crunch effect is called for. The various types vary in grain size and kind of fat used and thus in their moisture resistance and appearance.

Decorating mixtures

Pfeifer & Langen’s decorating mixtures combine icing sugar and/or crystal sugar with starch. The crystal sugar gives a slightly textured surface, while the icing sugar offers good coverage. Decorating mixtures are ideal for decorating bakery goods and desserts. If your recipes demand a high level of stability on moist or oily surfaces, we offer mixtures with special fats. Flavouring – for example with real cinnamon or vanilla – is also available.
