Frequently asked questions
How can I prevent the fondant from cracking when covering a cake?
Knead the fondant for 2 to 3 minutes to soften it before rolling. Roll it out to a thickness of 4-5 mm on a surface dusted with icing sugar and smooth from the centre towards the edges without trapping air bubbles. If cracks appear, smooth them with your finger and a drop of water.
Is 1kg of Fire Red enough for a tiered wedding cake?
1 kg is enough to cover one 22 cm diameter tier with additional decorations. For several tiers, allow one pack per fully covered tier.
How long does a covered cake keep?
2 to 3 days at room temperature (15-22 °C), protected from humidity and direct light. Do not refrigerate: the fondant will sweat and become sticky when exposed to the cold.
