Meet Our New Platinum Partner: Copha
The Iconic Ingredient That’s Been a Part of Australian Baking for Generations
We’re beyond excited to welcome Copha as the newest Platinum Partner of the Australian Cake Decorating Network! 🎉
If you grew up in Australia, there’s a good chance Copha was already a staple in your family kitchen and now we’re proud to shine a spotlight on this iconic ingredient that’s just as relevant for today’s bakers as it was for our mums and grandmothers.
Whether you’re a home baker, cake artist, or sweet treat creator, Copha is one of those quietly powerful ingredients that can transform your creations. It’s reliable, versatile, and full of nostalgic charm and we’re thrilled to be working with them to inspire your baking even more.
What is Copha?
Copha is a vegetable shortening made from over 99% coconut oil with less than 1% soy lecithin. It’s known for its firm texture and high melting point, which makes it a dream to work with in Australian kitchens especially in warmer climates where butter and chocolate can be a little unpredictable.
Here’s why we love it (and you will too!):
Gluten-free for allergen-friendly recipes
No palm oil – a better choice for the planet
Stays stable at room temperature up to 36°C, making it perfect for warm kitchens or sunny market days
Smooth finish & creamy texture without refrigeration
From crisp chocolate crackles to layered slices, no-bake cheesecakes, and beautiful moulded treats, Copha helps you achieve clean, professional results with ease.
What This Partnership Means for ACDN Members
With Copha on board as a Platinum Supplier, you’ll be seeing a lot more delicious ideas, exclusive recipes, and inspiration rolling out through Cake! magazine, our social channels, and our website.
Keep your eyes peeled for tutorials using Copha, updated classic recipes (like our Easter bunnies and crackle slice), and even giveaways or collaborations to help you level up your sweet creations.
