What inspired you in the new collections?

The trends in decorating cakes and desserts are often the same as those in fashion and architecture. You can find many common elements, because design and trends intertwine on all levels. One of the fashion slogans for 2023 is “brown is the new black”. The color of chocolate fits perfectly in this trend. Patterns – checkered or animal patterns, textures of fabrics such as lace, transparency with elements of lines and filigree patterns… All these design elements are reflected in our decorations. Please have a look at the new Barbara Decor FILIGRANES®, Harmony and Inspiration, or Art. Grillage “woven” made of chocolate or Art. Print with a fashionable pattern and animal prints.

Why should pastry chefs use your chocolate decorations?

The easiest way is to use ready-made chocolate decorations that we offer under the Barbara Decor brand. Ultimately, they turn out to be more economical than those hand-made at a pastry atelier. The patterns and dimensions of the finished decorations are designed to fit any form of dessert, mono-portions, and cakes. We work every day to provide our clients with practical solutions which are effective and at a reasonable price.
