Frequently Asked Questions

Are Italian maraschino cherries ready to use straight from the jar?

Yes. Simply drain or spoon the cherries from the syrup as needed. Pat lightly dry with paper towel if you want to reduce syrup bleed onto pale icing or buttercream.

Can I use maraschino cherries on fondant or buttercream cakes?

Yes. Place them on the cake shortly before serving to minimise the risk of the syrup staining the icing. For clean presentation, drain well and pat dry before placing on a white or light-coloured cake.
