January Issue
Jump into January!

We're starting off January with a jolt of sugary sweetness, fresh from McCall's.  We have big news on what's hot and trending this winter!

Chocolate season beats on and this year we have some new and ambitious ideas for your chocolate-making endeavors; for clients, events or special gift-giving.  A more diverse nutscape will be expected in chocolate such as:  pistacchios, mixtures of seeds, lemon-flavored chocolate and chocolates that are floral-scented. We will also see more world-traveled cacao, bringing an influence of varied palettes in chocolate flavorings and peach-filled chocolate..The list goes on.. 

Chocolate truffles and other bite-sized treats are still the rage in the baking world.

As a token of our appreciation to our loyal subscribers of Sweetlines, we have posted a Free Chocolate Truffle Recipe for you.  It could also come in handy as a great idea for a Valentine-inspired dessert yet to be created!

The one-bite bonbon is a Valentine favorite all over!  McCall's is now introducing the Mona Lisa Bonbon to it's shelves for your shopping convenience.  

As a special treat, check out how to make a decadent chocolate bonbon from McCall's to you!  


In a nutshell, expect more flavours that reflect the growing popularity of nuts, which contain healthy fats, protein, vitamins and minerals. Some inspirational flavours are pumpkin praline fudge and almond rose shortbread to name a few. 


HAPPY NEW YEAR!
WHAT'S NEW AT MCCALL'S?
TruColor Natural Food Colors

We are really excited and you will be too!

We would like to introduce our brand new ALL NATURAL Food Colouring!

TruColor is an all new "State of the Art" natural food colouring!  It's free of Artificial Preservatives, and more potent than other brands out on the market to date. TruColor is not like any other, it is made from a combination of fruits, seed, vegetables, minerals and all natural plant sources.  This new product comes in powder form, and has an extended shelf life.  If the product is stored properly (kept dry, away from direct light and heat) the product can last on average for a minimum of a year.  

These natural gel paste colours are great for a variety of icings, doughs or any other products you would like to colour without changing the consistency or breaking down of your product.  This paste allows you to easily and accurately measure and add the food colour.  Ten grams of TruColor will colour at least 25 lbs of icing to a deep, rich colour!  What's more is that colours like pink or purple will not fade as quickly as artificial colours would. TruColor guarantees that you will find no other product which can match their stability, hue, shade and brilliance!

TruColor Natural Shine Colours are also available and offer an unprecedented colour in hue and brilliance. These colours can be sprayed with an airbrush or hand-painted.  They work well on almost any dry food surface, and are ideal for gum paste, royal icing or fondant.
