Concentrated liquid flavorings in convenient single-use vials. The Dr. Oetker Rum flavoring provides a rich, authentic rum aroma without alcohol content, while the RUF Butter-Vanilla aroma adds a creamy, classic scent to sponges, pound cakes, and cookies. Essential flavor boosters for home bakers.

Ingredients

Starch, gelling agent (carrageenan E407), acidity regulator (potassium tartrate E336), firming agent (potassium chloride E508), colouring food: safflower concentrate, colour: true carmine (E120).

Allergens

⚠️ Not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. The red colour is carmine (E120), which is made from cochineal insects. Nothing about a cake glaze suggests an animal ingredient, so it is worth saying plainly. If it matters for religious observance, please ask us before buying.

The classic German Tortenguss — the clear set glaze that goes over a fruit flan and keeps the fruit glossy and in place. One sachet plus 2 level tablespoons of sugar and 250 ml of liquid covers one tart. Use water, fruit juice, or the syrup from a tin of fruit.

Two things from the packet worth knowing: with apricot, peach or plum syrup add 3 extra tablespoons of liquid; with cherries, mix the syrup and water half and half. And Dr. Oetker's own tip — dust the pastry base with Sahnesteif before laying the fruit on, and it will not go soggy as fast.
