Usage tips
The small diameters (3, 5, and 7 cm), supplied in sets of 3, are suitable for practicing smoothing or creating several small spheres for a composition. The 10 and 12 cm diameters, sold individually, serve as a base for a giant display cake pop or a central module for a tiered cake. Lightly sand the surface before application for better adhesion of the sugar paste.
Please note: this polystyrene support is not edible. It must be completely covered with sugar paste or fondant (with a wafer-paper barrier if needed) before any contact with food or presentation intended for serving.
Frequently asked questions
Can several balls be stacked to create a tiered cake?
Yes, by inserting central wooden or food-safe plastic dowels through the balls to ensure the stability of the assembly before covering everything with sugar paste.
Which size should I choose for a giant display cake pop?
The 10 cm and 12 cm diameters, sold individually, are best suited for a clearly visible display effect in a shop window or on a buffet.
Does the set of 3 balls include different diameters?
No, each set of 3 (3 cm, 5 cm, or 7 cm) contains three identical balls in the selected diameter, making it practical to repeat the same technique.
