Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Does this black fondant stain your hands while working with it?
Highly saturated shades such as black can slightly stain damp hands; work with dry hands and a work surface dusted with starch.
Is the 1 kg size enough to cover a cake completely?
Yes, for a 20 to 25 cm cake with plenty of room for adjustment.
Can this black fondant be paired with gold decorations?
Yes, this is a common combination: the black background highlights the gold accents, pearls and metallic ribbons.
