Dolly mix is a traditional British confection made from small pieces of fondant and sugared gelatin. Thought to be nearly 100 years old, dolly-based sweets consist primarily of fondant, shaped into cubes, cylinders, and rectangles, which is transformed into one or more layers of colors. Some of these shapes, usually cubes, are coated with hard candy shells. The mix may also contain sugar-coated jellies in a rounded cone shape, although modern mixes often contain sugar-coated jelly bears. Often eaten on their own, these sweets are also a popular topping for ice cream and cake.
This pastry is usually sold in packets but can also be purchased in almost any desired amount from wholesalers. Sweets were originally pale in color, coming in light pink, yellow, brown, and white; however, modern dolly mixes have much more vibrant colors and include purples, reds, and greens, even though the shapes remain very similar to traditional ones. The aroma is mainly composed of different fruits together with vanilla. Like the colors, these flavors are more intense in modern versions. Dolly mixes have also become popular in jewellery, usually made from polymer clay and produced in the form of necklaces, bracelets, brooches and earrings.
Dolly Blend contains sugar, glucose syrup and beef gelatin as well as modified corn starch and vegetable oil. It also contains citric acid, flavorings and low-fat cocoa. Colorings are a big part of the blend with spinach extract as a surprise ingredient. A coating agent, such as beeswax pectin, is also used.
Dolly mix fondant cakes are made by combining gelatin and cold water, which bakers heat in a double boiler until the gelatin dissolves. Then, they add the glucose syrup and mix it. The shortening or oil goes into the pot next, and the bakers subsequently remove the mixture from the heat. Glycerin, flavor, and color are next on the list, and then the mixture cools until lukewarm.
Bakers pour this mixture into a bowl or tub containing confectioners’ sugar and mix until fully combined. They add more sugar as needed until the icing dough is no longer sticky and can be kneaded until soft, smooth, and pliable. When manufactured on a large scale, the icing is passed through machines that shape it into layered ribbons or tubes of single or multiple colors. Bakers can also do this by hand. Finally, they cut the shaped tapes and tubes into small sizes and mix them accordingly.
