Covering sugar paste

The covering sugar paste is the base of cake design: it is rolled out to 3-5 mm then covers the butter ganached cake. Flexible, elastic, hardenable. All colors available: pure white for elegance, deep black, reds, pinks, blues, metallics. 5×100g multipack for occasional workshops.

Modeling and rolled sugar paste

The modeling sugar paste (or flower paste) is firmer: it holds sculpted shapes better. Ideal for figurines, flowers with fine petals, ceremonial subjects. The pre-rolled sugar paste sheet saves valuable production time: unroll, place on the ganached cake, smooth with a smoother. Calibrated thickness at 3 mm, consistent quality.

Multipacks and color sets

Patissland offers 5×100g multipacks by theme: pastel, primary, essential colors, pink, blue. Ideal to start cake design without investing in 20 separate packs. Discovery boxes for Christmas, Easter, weddings with suitable colors.

How to cover a cake with fondant?
1. Cover the cake with buttercream then refrigerate for 30 minutes. 2. Roll out the fondant on a work surface dusted with cornstarch or powdered sugar, thickness 3-5 mm. 3. Lift the fondant with the rolling pin, place on the cake, smooth from the center to the edges with a smoother. 4. Cut off the excess with a cutter.
Industrial or homemade fondant?
Industrial: consistent texture, 12 months shelf life, time-saving, ideal for regular production. Homemade: cheaper, can be flavored, but sometimes uneven texture, short shelf life (1 week). Professional pastry chefs prefer industrial for reproducibility.
How to prevent fondant from cracking?
Several causes: fondant too dry (knead for 1 minute by hand before use), cake not prepared (buttercream smooths the edges), temperature too cool (work at 20-22°C). If cracks still appear: smooth with a finger using a little water or beaten egg white.
Is fondant suitable for allergy sufferers?
Depending on the brands: Funcakes and Renshaw offer gluten-free fondant. Check the label for other allergens (egg, milk, soy, nuts). Brightly colored coverings may contain specific dyes to check according to dietary restrictions.
