🧠 What is it?
Dr Oetker Pastel Tubes 4 × 19 g (76 g) are sugar icings in handy tubes in four delicate pastel colours (pink, green, blue and orange), designed for easy decorating of gingerbread, biscuits, cakes, muffins and other sweet desserts. The tubes have a fine tip, so you can ‘draw’ with them just like a pencil – creating lines, dots, hearts and messages.
🌈 Key features
✔️ Pastel colours: four soft shades – pink, blue, green and orange – for creative decorating.
✔️ Handy tubes (4 × 19 g) – the ideal amount, easy to hold and use.
✔️ Easy to use: the tubes fit comfortably in your hand and the fine tip allows you to apply the icing precisely.
✔️ Quick-drying: the decorations set within about 20 minutes of application.
✔️ Suitable for children too: even little bakers can manage the simple application (under supervision, of course).
🧾 Ingredients and allergens
• Ingredients: sugar, water, vegetable oils (e.g. palm, rapeseed), glucose syrup, modified starches, preservative (potassium sorbate), emulsifier (polysorbate 60), natural flavouring, colourings (paprika extract, carotenes, carmines, brilliant blue FCF), thickener (pectin), acidity regulator (citric acid).
⚠️ Allergens: This product does not typically contain any allergens subject to mandatory declaration — however, always check the label of the specific batch directly if you have any allergies or intolerances.
🍰 How and where to use
🎯 Before use: To make application easier, dip the tube briefly in warm water and gently squeeze it so that the icing comes out more easily.
🖊️ For decorating: Unscrew the cap and squeeze the tube gently and evenly, as if you were writing with a pencil on the surface of the dessert.
🍪 What to use it on: Use it on gingerbread, biscuits, cupcakes, cakes, tarts or even Christmas biscuits.
⏱️ Drying: Leave the decorations to dry — it usually takes about 20 minutes for the icing to set.
🧽 Care: After use, clean the tube and close the cap so that the icing doesn’t lose its quality or dry out.
💡 Tip: Pastel tubes are also great for children’s parties or themed desserts (e.g. birthday cupcakes or sweet treats).
🧊 Storage
• Store in a dry place at room temperature, away from direct light and high temperatures.
• Close the cap tightly after opening.
