Ready-to-use sugar paste for covering and modeling, red shade
The Red Colour Mill Sugar Paste is a professional quality ready-to-use sugar paste, colored throughout to ensure a uniform, stable color true to the final result. Soft texture, controlled elasticity, clean rolling without cracking: designed for covering layer cakes, modeling figurines, and creating raised decorations.

Patissland Tip for Red Sugar Paste
For a clean cover without folds or cracks: 1/ the cake must be perfectly cold and smooth (ganache hardened), 2/ knead the paste 1 to 2 minutes to bring it to temperature, 3/ roll out to 3 mm thickness on a surface wider than the cake (diameter + 2x height + 5 cm), 4/ smooth the top first then go down the sides pressing gently with a smoother. Air bubbles can be removed with a very fine needle.
