Step 1
In a bowl, combine 50 ml of light beer and 1 packet (25 grams) of magnesium sulfate. Stir gently to ensure they are well mixed.
This magical mixture will create a fun frosted effect that you can use for decoration.
Step 2
Once combined, let the mixture sit for a few minutes until the foam settles. This step is crucial for an even application.
Patience is key, as you want the frothiness to diminish before proceeding.
Step 3
Using a soft brush, gently apply the settled mixture over your desired surface. This can be on cakes, cupcakes, or any dessert that you wish to decorate.
Ensure even coverage for the best effect, and have fun with the patterns!
Step 4
After application, let the decorated item dry completely. This may take several hours, depending on the ambient temperature and humidity.
Once dry, the frosted patterns will have a lovely, magical appearance that enhances your dessert.

Faq
- What if my frosty patterns don’t dry properly?
Ensure that you're applying the mixture evenly. If the patterns are too thick, they may not dry properly. Allow adequate time for drying and try placing them in a less humid environment if possible.
- Can I customize the thickness of the patterns?
Absolutely! By adjusting the amount of mixture on your brush, you can create both thin and thick patterns to suit your desired look. Just practice a bit to find what works best for you!
- How can I make my frosty patterns more intense?
To achieve a more striking appearance, you can create multiple layers. Just make sure to let each layer dry before adding the next to avoid them blending together.
- Can I add colors to my frosty designs?
Definitely! You can incorporate edible food colors into your mixture before applying it. This is a great way to personalize your designs!
- What can I do if I don’t have small brushes?
You can use a toothpick or a small skewers to create designs if brushes aren’t available. Just be gentle when applying!
- Can I make this in advance and store it?
It's best to apply your frosty patterns right before serving. However, if you're making them in advance, store them in an airtight container to protect them from humidity, which can ruin the designs.
