Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a confectionery decorative sheet used for confectionery whose appearance is creative.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a decorative material for adding color to the appearance of Western confectionery, a work made of paper, resin, or an edible material such as marzipan or chocolate is provided according to the use.

[0003] As the edible decorative material, there is, for example, a chocolate confectionery with a pattern as disclosed in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 1-50376, and a predetermined two-dimensional pattern is formed on the bottom surface of the mold using an edible coloring material as ink. After being formed, the chocolate material is produced by pouring the chocolate material on the upper layer of the pattern. As a result, an arbitrary two-dimensional pattern is formed on the surface of the chocolate candy, and the two-dimensional pattern is formed by cutting into the chocolate material in the thickness direction by a predetermined dimension. It has a feature that the two-dimensional pattern on the surface is not damaged even if it is rubbed.

In the situation where Western confectionery having a unique appearance is being pursued year by year in this way, it is difficult to obtain a fresh interest simply by focusing on the appearance of the decorative material itself. There is a need and a proposal for various decorative means.

As such an attempt, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No.
As described in Japanese Patent No. 58747, an arbitrary two-dimensional pattern is formed by screen printing on the surface of a sponge cake after baking, which has heretofore almost entirely covered with fresh cream or the above decorative material. It has been shown that the sponge cake can be given a unique appearance.

[0006]

However, the invention described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-58747 was developed mainly for application to castella, and the printing target is a flat sponge cake. However, it cannot be applied to Western confectionery where the sponge cake appears as a curved surface, such as the side of a decoration cake or the outer surface of a mousse confection.

In the above conventional invention, the sponge cake after baking must be screen-printed,
Regardless of the confectionery manufacturer, it is difficult for individuals who do not frequently make confectionery to have a complete set of such equipment for printing, and it is not used for personal confectionery production.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and it is possible to express an arbitrary two-dimensional pattern even on a flexible Western confectionery that is curved or has undulations. It is an object of the present invention to provide a decorative sheet for confectionery, which enables the production of a wide variety of Western confectionery in the production of confectionery.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following means. That is,
A two-dimensional pattern is formed on the bottom surface of a mold made of a heat-resistant material by using a edible ink in which a coloring material is added to a base material that is compatible with sponge cake, and a predetermined amount is formed on the two-dimensional pattern. The sponge cake dough is poured and then baked so that the two-dimensional pattern formed by the edible ink is exposed on the sheet-shaped sponge cake.

More specifically, a mixture of fats and oils, flour, sugar and egg white is used as the base material, or a binder made of at least one of calcium carbonate and gum arabic, glycerin fatty acid ester and sucrose fatty acid. It is desirable to use an emulsifier based on at least one of ester and propylene glycol.

Further, it is also possible to adopt a constitution in which a two-dimensional pattern is formed on the surface of the sheet-shaped sponge cake after baking with a edible ink obtained by adding a coloring material to a base material having an affinity for the sponge cake.

Screen printing or intaglio offset printing may be employed as a method for forming a two-dimensional pattern in any of the above decorative sheets for confectionery.

[0013]

[Function] Since the edible ink uses a food material having affinity with the sponge cake as a base material, and the colorant is added to the base material, by baking the sponge cake poured into the upper layer of the above two-dimensional pattern, It is transferred and held on the surface of the sponge cake. In particular, when a mixture of fats and oils, flour, sugar and egg white, which is almost the same as the constituent material of the sponge cake, is used as the base material of the edible ink, the familiarity with the sponge cake after baking becomes very good.

As another base material, a binder containing at least one of calcium carbonate and gum arabic,
When an emulsifier based on at least one of glycerin fatty acid ester, sucrose fatty acid ester, and propylene glycol is used, the binder strongly transfers the colorant to the sponge cake, and the emulsifier changes the colorant in the edible ink. Since it is evenly dispersed, a two-dimensional pattern is formed on the sponge cake with a beautiful finish.

The colorant is not particularly limited,
For example, in addition to natural pigments such as persimmon, red koji, gardenia, squid, cochineal and the like, synthetic colorants can be used. Since such an edible ink is very familiar to the sponge cake, it is possible to form a two-dimensional pattern on the surface of the sheet-shaped sponge cake after baking.

As a method for forming a two-dimensional pattern either before or after baking,
Although it is possible to draw by hand, either screen printing or intaglio offset printing can be adopted, plate making is easy, and more than one type of two-dimensional pattern can be manufactured with the same printing equipment. It is suitable when high-mix low-volume production is required.

The intaglio offset printing is known as a pattern forming method for printing materials other than foods, in which edible ink is applied to an intaglio plate on which an intaglio pattern corresponding to a two-dimensional pattern is formed, After scraping off the excess edible ink other than the intaglio pattern with a doctor blade, transfer the pattern with the intaglio plate to a flat or cylindrical rubber blanket, and then transfer the pattern to a sponge cake. Be seen. In particular, when this intaglio offset printing is applied to a sponge cake before baking, a flat rubber blanket is used, and the dough of the sponge cake is poured on the bottom of the formwork.

Further, in the above method, the printing target is the bottom surface of the mold frame or the pattern formed on the intaglio is transferred, so that a clear and fine two-dimensional pattern can be formed.

The decorative sheet for confectionery produced in this manner can be cut into any shape and can be curved appropriately, so that it is formed into, for example, a cup shape, and mousse or fresh cream is poured into the interior. In addition to being most suitable for Western sweets produced in this way, by attaching it to the side of the sponge stand of the decoration cake, you can visually recognize it as if a two-dimensional pattern was formed directly on the sponge stand. It becomes possible to manufacture Western confectionery.

Such a confectionery decorative sheet can, of course, be provided to a confectionery manufacturer for commercial use,
It is also possible to supply it to individuals after packaging it withstands storage for a certain period of time, and it is possible to create interesting creations as a hobby for making sweets.

[0021]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. A two-dimensional pattern of an edible ink (brown in this example) containing each material shown in the right column of Table 1 below is formed by screen printing on the bottom surface of the mold of the sponge cake. A product having a Teflon coat is used on the bottom surface of the mold so that the mold releasability after baking is good.

Next, sponge cake dough having the composition shown in the left column of Table 1 below is poured so as to cover the upper layer of the two-dimensional pattern to a thickness of about 3 mm. The entire surface of the mold is evenly covered with the above-mentioned thickness, and the baking process is performed for about 12 minutes in a baking oven maintained at a temperature of 180 ° C, and the baking powder and the emulsification compounded in the above-mentioned dough of the sponge cake. The foaming agent increases the bulk to about 5 mm. Then, when the mold is inverted and released, a sheet-shaped sponge cake in which the two-dimensional pattern is clearly exposed is obtained.

Observing the cross section of this sponge cake,
The two-dimensional pattern is firmly held by the sponge cake so as to dig into the sponge cake to a predetermined depth, and the two-dimensional pattern and the sponge cake should be completely separated even when the sheet is curved until it tears. There was no

In addition to the above, the composition of the edible ink can be prepared by combining the materials shown in Table 2 below to prepare brown, brown, pink and green colors, respectively, and further combining any colorant. It is possible to mix various shades with.

1 and 2 are electrophotographic images of the surface of the edible decorative sheet thus obtained, FIG. 1 is a striped pattern sheet, and FIG. 2 is an irregular linear pattern sheet.
3 and 4 are external perspective views of Western confectionery produced using the confectionery decorative sheet.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, the striped pattern decorative sheet for confectionery is applied to mousse confectionery. That is, the confectionery decorative sheet previously cut into appropriate pieces 11 is placed on the inner surface of the transparent mousse film rolled into a cylindrical shape having an appropriate diameter, and the mousse is poured into the inside.
Further, strawberry was topped on it, and it was made to cool and harden.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of confectionery decorative sheets cut into a rectangular shape are attached to the inner surface of a cylindrical cake mold, baked, and the top surface of the cake after baking is subjected to predetermined topping. It's a cake.

The composition shown in Tables 1 and 2 is not limited to this, and can be arbitrarily prepared depending on the taste and the like. As another embodiment of the present invention, a two-dimensional pattern is formed on the sheet-shaped sponge cake after baking by intaglio offset printing according to the following procedure.

That is, the edible ink is applied to the intaglio plate in which a predetermined intaglio pattern is engraved on a hard plate-like body such as a metal plate, and the edible ink adhered to the surface of the intaglio plate other than the intaglio pattern is doctored. Scrape with a blade. The intaglio plate need not be in the form of a flat plate, but may be in the form of a cylinder, or may be formed by engraving the intaglio pattern on a metal flat plate and then fixing it to the cylindrical plate cylinder peripheral surface. .

Then, a rubber blanket made of an elastic material such as silicon rubber is brought into contact with the intaglio plate with a predetermined thickness, and the edible ink embedded in the intaglio pattern is transferred to the rubber blanket. Then, retransfer to the sponge cake after baking. The rubber blanket does not have to be flat plate shape, but may be formed in a cylindrical shape so that pattern formation can be continuously performed.

In addition to the above, it is also possible to directly form a two-dimensional pattern on a sheet-shaped sponge cake by screen printing. Furthermore, the intaglio offset printing can also be applied to the above-described embodiment. In this case, a flat rubber blanket is used, and after transferring the pattern of the intaglio pattern to the rubber blanket, the mold frame is directly used. It may be arranged on the bottom surface.

[0034]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the object to be printed is the bottom surface of the mold, it is possible to form a clear and fine two-dimensional pattern as compared with the case of directly printing a sponge cake, for example. it can.

Moreover, as a food material for the above-mentioned confectionery ink, fats and oils having a very high affinity with the material for the sponge cake,
By using flour, sugar, and egg white, and also by using the above-mentioned binder and emulsifier, a two-dimensional pattern is transferred and held on the surface of the sponge cake by baking the sponge cake.

Further, a two-dimensional pattern can be formed on the surface of the sheet-shaped sponge cake after baking depending on the high affinity of the edible ink for the sponge cake. Besides, offset printing or intaglio offset printing can be adopted.

When screen printing is used to form a two-dimensional pattern, plate making is easy, and many kinds of two-dimensional patterns can be formed with the same printing equipment.
It is suitable for high-mix low-volume production.

Further, when the intaglio offset printing is adopted, in addition to the advantage of the screen printing described above, a finer intaglio pattern can be formed on the intaglio plate, and a unique taste is obtained rather than a simple geometric pattern. A two-dimensional pattern provided can be formed.

The decorative sheet for confectionery produced in this manner can be cut into any shape, and since the two-dimensional pattern follows the sponge cake well, it can also be appropriately curved, so It will be possible to produce Western confectionery of various designs by creativity.
