The present invention relates to an apparatus for applying stripes of liquid coating on a confectionery product comprising a rotatable applicator for liquid coating, at least one shield positioned above the rotatable applicator to collect coating material not applied onto the product, a manifold for providing the rotatable applicator with the coating material in a liquid form, and wherein the rotatable applicator is arranged to spin about an axis which is orientated from horizontal and up to 30 deg of deviation from horizontal, and wherein the applicator has openings along it's circumference through which coating material may be projected upon spinning of the applicator. The invention also relates to a method for decorating confectionery products and to the products.

A method of making a frozen dessert bar includes forming a plurality of spaced cavities in a main body of ice cream or frozen yogurt, with the plurality of spaced cavities being filled with distinct edible materials thereby coating the one or more exterior surface portions of the main body at the plurality of spaced cavities. The cavities can be formed in various ways, such as molding the main body with the cavities or stamping the cavities into a pre-formed main body. As the coating materials employed can significantly vary, a wide range of frozen dessert bars, with quite unique and interesting eating experiences, can be produced for consumers.

The invention relates to a coating cutting tool for frozen confection comprising a frame defining a product void for receiving a product at least partly coated, a set of disk-shaped side knives comprising at least two knives mounted on the frame opposite of the product void, wherein the knives are rotatable arranged on the frame such that they can be rotated into a product coating cutting position for cutting the coating on the side of the product and out of such a position to a non-engaging position to allow the product to be moved passed the knives, and an end knife for cutting the coating on the end of the frozen confection. The invention also relates to a method for cutting a coating on a frozen confection.

A method of making a dessert includes the steps of combining and mixing together sugar, flour, milk and vanilla bean seeds to define a first mixture. Sugared yellow yolks are added to the first mixture to define a second mixture. The second mixture is mixed at a temperature between 180° F. and 205° F. and then cooled and poured into a plurality cups each containing a pie crust. The cups and second mixture contained therein are frozen to define frozen desserts. The frozen desserts are later cooked to define finished desserts ready for consumption.

The invention relates to a coating cutting tool for frozen confection comprising a frame defining a product void for receiving a product at least partly coated, a set of side knives comprising at least two knives mounted on the frame opposite of the product the void, wherein the knives are fixed on the frame. The invention also relates to a method for cutting the coating comprising softening the coating to allow cutting of the coating and holding the product so that sufficient pressure can be exerted during cutting.

A food treat includes: a stick including a first portion, a second portion, and a coating; the first portion of the stick infused with the coating; and a food product attached to the first portion of the stick, the second portion of the stick configured to be held by a user. A coating system includes: a container; a flavoring solution held by the container; and a stick submerged in the flavoring solution, the flavoring solution including a flavoring oil.

The present invention relates to a method of packaging character ice cream using a horizontal disposable plastic film mold as an inner packaging material. Ice cream packaging material uses a horizontal disposable plastic film mold as the inner packaging material, in which a horizontal disposable character mold for maintaining a shape of bar-type character ice cream is made by forming a plastic film in a character shape or other stereoscopic shapes. Ice cream liquid is injected into the horizontal disposable plastic film mold and then frozen, and the ice cream is packaged together with a rear reinforcement material without separating the ice cream from the horizontal disposable plastic film mold, thereby preventing a surface of the ice cream from being oxidized or preventing the character shape from being damaged.

A system for manufacturing and packaging one or more frozen confection products said system comprising one or more production machines, wherein the one or more production machines comprises chemical applying unit configured to apply one or more anti-moisture chemicals on a hollow wafer. The processing unit is configured to insert the hollow wafer inside the first half of an equally divided mould. The second half of the equally divided two part mould is coupled with the first half to form a closed mould. One or more funnels configured to inject at least two portions of one or more frozen confection material into the closed mould, wherein one portion of the at least two portions of the one or more frozen confection material are injected in the hollow wafer. The closed mould injected with the at least two portions of the one or more frozen confection material to form the one or more frozen confection product. The packaging section is configured to extract the one or more frozen confection products from the closed mould, wherein the one or more frozen confection products comprise at least two portions of the one or more frozen confection material filled inside the hollow wafer. A method for preparing a frozen confection product is also disclosed.

The equipment of the invention comprises a toroidal channel-shaped freezing tank containing coolant superimposed on a circular crown-shaped rotary mold holder, formed by a plurality of sectors affixed to the periphery of one traction disc driven by a stepper motor, said sectors having rectangular openings into which molds engage, whose lower portions are immersed in the coolant. At the bottom of the channel there is a rigid pipe provided with a plurality of holes through which jets of coolant are released under pressure. The popsicle release means comprise a radially oriented niche within said tank and a vertically displaceable housing which, in the upper position, accommodates a mold and a perforated horizontal pipe which releases jets of heated fluid against the mold cups.

An edible substrate system may have an edible substrate disposed on a backing substrate and a decorative substrate disposed on the edible substrate. The edible substrate may be cut to define a profile to define edible substrate stickers. Edible substrate stickers may be peelable from the backing substrate without jeopardizing the integrity of the edible sticker or decorative substrate thereon.
