Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
How can I prevent sugar paste from cracking when covering a cake?
Knead the paste for 2 to 3 minutes to soften it before rolling. Roll out to 4-5 mm thick on a surface dusted with powdered sugar and smooth from the center toward the edges without trapping air bubbles. If it cracks, smooth it with your finger and a drop of water.
Is 1 kg of Fire Red enough for a tiered wedding cake?
1 kg is enough to cover one 22 cm-diameter tier with additional decorations. For multiple tiers, allow one pack per fully covered tier.
How long does a covered cake keep?
2 to 3 days at room temperature (15-22 °C), away from humidity and direct light. Do not refrigerate: sugar paste will sweat and become sticky when exposed to the cold.
