How do you store products after opening the package?

Close the package tightly to prevent frost from entering. Securely seal the package using a clip, tape, or tie. Ensure it is tightly closed to maintain freshness.

How do you use the icing packet to decorate all four pastries?

The icing packet is designed to decorate all four pastries. To ensure generous icing coverage on each pastry, trim the end tip of the icing package. Adjust the cut to regulate the thickness of the icing lines and the amount dispensed. For a classic "Danish way" decoration, we recommend starting with a cut closest to the end.

How do you store the icing packet after opening?

The icing packet is tailored to decorate all four pastries. If you don't use all four pastries, you'll likely have leftover icing. To store the remainder, fold the icing packet in half and use a clip, tape, or tie to seal it. Then, return it to the freezer along with the remaining pastries for future use.

Can Schulstad Royal Danish Pastries be refrozen after they are thawed?

All Schulstad Royal Danish Pastries should be stored frozen until ready to use. Do not refreeze any Schulstad Royal Danish Pastries after they have been thawed. They will not bake correctly again if fully thawed and refrozen.
