Colour Mill - Sugar Paste
Red Sugar Paste 1 kg
1 kg format for complete coverage in a true red
Colour Mill Red Sugar Paste 1 kg is a professional-quality ready-to-use sugar paste, colored throughout: a true, opaque red, uniform across the entire surface of the cake. Flexible texture, controlled elasticity, and smooth rolling without cracking or tearing.
1 kg format, designed for complete coverage: covers a 20 to 25 cm diameter layer cake with some margin. It can be worked without excessive sticking to the work surface and retains its properties for several weeks after opening if properly resealed.

Recommended applications
- Complete coverage of layer cakes for Christmas and family celebrations
- Wedding cakes and tiered cakes in a red and gold palette
- Regular workshop production for orders featuring predominantly red designs
Instructions for use
- Take the paste out 30 minutes before use so it returns to room temperature, then knead it between your hands for 1 to 2 minutes to soften it
- Roll out on a work surface lightly dusted with powdered sugar or cornstarch: 3 mm thick for covering, 2 mm for fine decorations
- Place on the chilled cake (ganache or set buttercream), smooth from the top toward the sides with a smoother using circular movements; wrap the remainder directly against the surface and store in an airtight container
Please note: the cake must be perfectly chilled and smooth before covering: ganache or buttercream that is still soft can make the paste slide or leave marks. Remove any remaining air bubbles with a fine needle rather than pressing the surface.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 1 kg format enough to cover a two-tier cake?
For two tiers, plan on two 1 kg packs or a 4 kg format, depending on the total diameter to be covered.
Is this red paste worked differently in a large format?
No, the instructions remain the same; only the amount to knead is greater, so make sure you have a sufficiently large work surface.
Can the leftover paste from this pack be used for modeling?
Yes, the unused remainder can be wrapped and stored in an airtight container for modeling or a future project.
