High-precision icing depositing for cakes

Icing is one of the many products you can apply with precision using a FoodJet depositor. Whether you need a smooth surface coating, decorative patterns, or accurately portioned drops, the depositor places the icing exactly where you want it, with far less waste and far less manual work.

Portion control in the recipe

Six cupcakes with a smooth white layer up to the rim, in a clear blister tray

Each cake gets the portion of icing set in the recipe, so give-away goes down. When you switch to another icing, you adjust the recipe with it.

A clean finish up to the edge

The depositor places icing up to the edge of each cake, and the rim stays clean. That means no drips, no rework and no extra cleaning further down the line.

Decorate or cover, your choice

Loaf cakes in paper baking moulds with white decorations: zigzag lines, a raster of dots and a full layer

From full surface coverage to fine decorative patterns, one machine handles both. Designs are software-driven, so switching from one pattern to another is a matter of loading another recipe. You change the look of your product without changing the rest of your production line.

Change designs at the push of a button

Frequently asked questions

Can FoodJet deposit icing on cakes of different shapes and sizes?

Yes. The deposit pattern comes from the recipe, so you load another recipe for another format. When cakes shift or rotate on the belt, vision guidance detects each cake and aligns the pattern.

Can I cover a cake and decorate it with the same depositor?

Yes. Full surface coverage and fine decorative patterns run on the same machine; the recipe sets what is deposited where.

Which icings can FoodJet deposit?

Icings and glazes, plus chocolate and fat-based coatings. Whether your icing runs well depends on its viscosity and temperature, so we test it first, with your own product.
