Frequently asked questions
How to prevent fondant from cracking when covering?
Knead the fondant for 2-3 minutes for softness. Roll out to 4-5 mm thickness. Smooth from the center to the edges without leaving air bubbles. If cracks appear, smooth with a finger and a drop of water.
Can this fondant be colored with food coloring?
Yes, add gel coloring while kneading. To intensify, add in small amounts. Warning: manual coloring will never give the same intensity as the original Fun Cakes shade.
How long does the fondant last once the cake is covered?
2 to 3 days at room temperature (15-22 °C), protected from humidity and direct light. Do not refrigerate (the fondant sweats and becomes sticky).
Difference between the 250g, 1kg, 5kg, and 12.5 kg sizes?
The 250g is a discovery size (15-18 cm cake). The 1kg is the standard size for cake designers (22-25 cm cake). The 5kg is the pro size for workshops. The 12.5 kg is the large capacity size for schools and intensive productions.
Sparkling Gold tip?
