Colour Mill - Sugar Paste
Red Sugar Paste 250g
Red colour throughout for covering and modelling
Colour Mill Red Sugar Paste is a professional-quality ready-to-use sugar paste, coloured throughout: a vivid, opaque red that does not turn pink when kneaded. Flexible texture, controlled elasticity, and clean rolling without cracking or tearing.
The 250g format is designed for localised decorations, modelled flowers, and individual projects rather than full cake covering. It can be worked without excessive sticking to the work surface and retains its properties for several weeks after opening if properly resealed.

Recommended uses
- Layer cakes and Christmas decorations in red and gold
- Modelled roses and peonies for tiered cakes
- Valentine's Day cakes and family celebrations
Instructions
- 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 icing sugar or cornflour: 3 mm thick for covering, 2 mm for fine decorations
- Place on the cold cake (ganache or set buttercream), smooth from the top towards the sides using a smoother in circular motions; wrap the remainder directly and store in an airtight container
Please note: the cake must be completely cold and smooth before covering: soft ganache or buttercream can cause the paste to slide or become marked. Release any remaining air bubbles with a fine needle rather than pressing the surface.
Frequently asked questions
Is this red paste suitable for modelling a complete rose?
Yes, its flexibility allows you to shape thin petals that curve without breaking or losing their colour.
Does the red darken when air-dried?
The colour remains stable; only the surface becomes slightly firmer as it dries, with no noticeable colour change.
Can this red paste be mixed with white to create a vivid pink?
Yes, this is the recommended method for creating a strong pink rather than a pastel pink, by adding the colours gradually.
