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 4-5 mm thick on a surface dusted with powdered sugar and smooth it from the center toward the edges without trapping air bubbles. If cracks appear, smooth them with your finger and a drop of water.
What is the difference between the 250g size and the 1kg size?
The 250g size is suitable for trials, small projects and color tests. The 1kg size is the standard choice for customer orders and regular cake design production.
How long can a covered cake be kept?
2 to 3 days at room temperature (15-22 °C), protected from humidity and direct light. Do not refrigerate: fondant sweats and becomes sticky when exposed to cold.
