SmartFlex - Flower Paste
Flower Paste 1 kg
Premium gum paste for sugar flowers and hard-drying modeling details

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
What is the difference between Flower Paste and classic sugar paste?
Flower Paste dries harder and is used for sugar flowers and fine details that need to hold their shape. Classic sugar paste is more pliable and is intended for covering cakes, such as the Vanilla White range.
Can this paste be used to cover a cake?
No, it is too firm and dries too quickly for a smooth covering. For covering a cake, use a classic sugar paste from the Sugar Paste collection.
How thick should flower petals be?
Between 0.5 and 1 mm for thin petals that will dry quickly and retain a natural appearance once assembled.
How long does Flower Paste take to dry?
Drying time varies depending on thickness and ambient humidity: generally allow 24 to 48 hours for fine pieces, and longer for thicker or stacked elements.
