Glycerine is one of those quiet workhorse ingredients most decorators keep in the cupboard. A few drops in your cake batter keeps sponges moist and gives them a longer shelf life. Stir it into royal icing and it stops the icing setting rock hard, so it stays easier to cut. Add it to buttercream and it keeps the texture silky and crust free. Rainbow Dust glycerine comes in a handy 50ml bottle, is kosher certified, halal, vegetarian and vegan, and is made in Preston to BRC food safety standards. A small bottle that earns its place across a lot of different bakes. Find it alongside our other sugarcraft essentials.
