About CHOCOLATE ICING WITH STAR TIP, CHOCOLATE
This product is a ready-to-use chocolate decorating icing with an attached star tip, sold under Target's Favorite Day brand. It falls in the Baking Decorations & Dessert Toppings category and is designed for piping decorative borders, rosettes, and accents on cakes and cupcakes.
The primary ingredient is sugar, followed by a palm oil and canola oil shortening blend emulsified with vegetable mono- and diglycerides and polysorbate 80. Water, regular cocoa, and black cocoa (a very darkly processed Dutch cocoa with intense color) together create a rich, deep chocolate appearance and flavor. Propylene glycol is used as a humectant to maintain texture and prevent the icing from drying out in the tube. Potassium sorbate functions as a mold inhibitor for shelf stability. Meringue powder — containing corn starch, egg white, sugar, gum arabic, citric acid, cream of tartar, and vanillin — contributes body and some structural stability to the piped decoration. Xanthan gum, corn starch, and citric acid further adjust viscosity and pH. Sodium acetate and acetic acid act as additional preservatives.
Nutritionally this is a very high-calorie, high-sugar product: 457 calories per 100 grams, 22.86 g fat, 62.86 g carbohydrates, and 0 g protein or fiber. It contains egg (from meringue powder) and is a known allergen source. The vanillin in meringue powder is synthetic rather than natural vanilla. Not vegan due to egg whites. Intended for decorative use in small quantities rather than bulk consumption.
