A cake icing system comprising a) a mould (100) comprising a mould wall (102) having a top end and a bottom end and a height defined therebetween, the mould wall having an inner surface (104) which defines the width and the length of the mould, the inner surface having a perimeter length, the mould wall having a support surface at the bottom end (106) of the mould, b) a base (200) with a width which is less than the width of the mould, a length which is less than the length of the mould, a top surface (202), a bottom surface (204), and a side surface (204) therebetween, wherein the height of the side surface (H2) is less than the height of the mould wall (H1) and the base is removable and insertable into the mould, c) a liner (300) having a thickness (T3), a height (H3) and a length (L3) greater than the perimeter length of the mould wall, wherein when the system is in use the base sits on the support surface of the mould, and the liner engaging the inner wall of the mould, such that that an icing composition can be applied between the liner and a cake inserted in the mould, a kit comprising the mould, the base and the liner, and a method for icing a cake using the cake icing system.

A system for the automated coating of baked good with a water based icing is provided. In particular, a system for the automated movement of icing and controls of variables such as temperature, moisture, and/or flow rate of the icing is provided to maintain the characteristics of the icing for extended periods of operation of an associated coating system.

The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing crackers from Eragrostis tef flour. The method comprises mixing Eragrostis tef flour with a liquid medium and allowing the obtained batter to stand to obtain a fermented batter. The fermented batter is then uniformly spread to a wall thickness in the range of 3 mm to 5 mm on a heated griddle to obtain a crepe with random air pockets. The crepe is placed between a pair of heated discs and an incremental axially directed pressure is applied to reduce the wall thickness in the range of 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm to obtain the cracker. The crackers prepared by the method of the present disclosure retain the nutritional properties, are palatable, easily chewable and can be used as a healthy addition to the routinely used diet.

A food product and method for producing is provided. The food product comprising a biscuit part and a filling part, the filling part including a water-based filling and an anhydrous filling with live lactic cultures. The water-based filling and the anhydrous filling are distinct. The anhydrous filling has a lactic ferment cell count per gram of the anhydrous filling of at least 10.sup.5 cfu/g, preferably 10.sup.6 cfu/g, more preferably 10.sup.7 cfu/g, the food product presenting a decay rate of the lactic cultures of at most 0.25 log.sub.10 per month.
