Whipped cream, chocolate swirls, caramel shards, confectioners sugar and coulis in a dozen different flavors were heaped onto plates to the point where they almost obscured the actual dessert! Fortunately, there has been a big scaling back and now plate garnishes tend to be limited to things that actually complement the flavor of the dessert and its presentation. This is great because it&#8217;s fun to garnish a dessert plate as long you don&#8217;t need a hundred flavors of coulis to do it. All you really need are a few simple flavors tp fall back on that work well with many desserts.<\/p>\n<p>I recently tried <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smuckers.com\/products\/category.aspx?groupId=5&amp;categoryId=14\">Smuckers PlateScapers<\/a> as a way to add a little flair &#8211; with very little effort &#8211; to dessert. The PlateScapers come in five flavors: Caramel, Chocolate, Raspberry, Vanilla and Chocolate Fudge. They&#8217;re described as &#8220;dessert toppings&#8221; but are packaged in a squeeze bottle that makes it very easy to create swirls, spirals and stripes. I picked up Vanilla because it seemed like the flavor that would be the most difficult to whip up on very short notice. It tastes a lot like vanilla pudding with a hint of cake batter &#8211; sweet and with a good vanilla flavor. It&#8217;s very easy to use and has a great consistency; it comes out cleanly and has a very minimal amount of spread, so your designs stay put.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/bakingbites.com\/2009\/12\/smuckers-platescapers-vanilla-reviewed\/#more-4026\" class=\"more-link\">(more&#8230;)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few years ago, there was a dessert plate-garnishing craze in restaurants.
