The invention relates to an oil-and-water emulsion comprising an aqueous phase and an oil phase, said emulsion containing: 15-40 wt. % water; 30-60 wt. % oil; 1.5-18 wt. % of cyclodextrin selected from alpha-cyclodextrin, beta-cyclodextrin and combinations thereof; 12-50 wt. % of saccharides selected from monosaccharides, disaccharides, non-cyclic oligosaccharides, sugar alcohols and combinations thereof. The emulsions according to the present invention are highly stable under ambient conditions, can easily be used as a base for the manufacture of a variety of icings, fillings and toppings. These base emulsions can suitably be aerated (creamed) to produce a creamed icing or filling, or a whipped topping that has excellent ambient temperature stability.

A coated stuffed pretzel and method for making the coated stuffed pretzel is provided. A pretzel that has already been baked has first, second and third pretzel openings. A layer of chocolate is deposited in the first and second openings pretzel openings, then a filling and chocolate is deposited on the layer of chocolate, thus stuffing the first and second pretzel openings. The pretzel is cooled and then is moved through a chocolate bath where an outer chocolate layer is applied. Then, toppings are added on the chocolate coating. The pretzel is cooled and the toppings are held in place when the chocolate outer layer solidifies. Thus, the pretzel that has already been baked is transformed into the coated stuffed pretzel. The coated stuffed pretzels can be coated with any topping and stuffed with any filling, for example caramel. The coated stuffed pretzels have a handle portion.

This specification discloses a starch mixture useful for making bakery creams. The starch mixture the comprises a cold water swellable, thermally inhibited waxy starch and a cold water swellable, thermally inhibited non-waxy starch. The starches may be co-processed or made separately and mixed. The disclosed mixture is useful to replace alginates and chemically modified food starch in bakery creams. Bakery creams made using the disclosed starch blends have firmness, and functional and organoleptic texture comparable to alginate containing bakery creams.
