Frequently asked questions
What is the difference from standard fondant?
Covering paste is more flexible and specially optimized for covering large surfaces and tiered layer cakes. Standard fondant is more versatile, suitable for covering as well as light modeling.
How many cakes can be covered with each format?
With 1 kg, allow for one 20 cm diameter cake (approximately 750 g per piece), with some extra for scraps. With 2.5 kg, allow for 2 to 3 20 cm cakes or one tiered wedding cake.
Can this covering paste be used to model figurines?
This is not recommended: its flexible texture deforms too easily for fine detail. For figurines and sculpted flowers, use Renshaw modeling paste instead, which is firmer and dries more quickly.
