FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between modeling paste and classic fondant?

Modeling paste contains a hardening agent (tragacanth gum or CMC) that makes it firmer and faster drying than classic fondant. It is suitable for fine modeling of figurines and flowers, whereas classic fondant is better suited for cake covering. For reference, you can mix 50/50 fondant and modeling paste to get a soft-firm compromise suitable for certain projects.

How long does it take for figurines to dry?

Small pieces (eyes, miniature flowers, fine details) dry in 2-4 hours at room air. Medium pieces (faces, standard flowers) in 8-12 hours. Large pieces (figurines 10 cm and over) require 24-48 hours for complete drying. To speed up, place pieces near a gentle heat source (warm radiator).

How to color modeling paste?

Use gel or paste food colorings (never liquid, which softens the paste). Add a small amount of coloring, knead 1-2 minutes to distribute evenly. For very dark shades (black, intense red), start with a pre-colored paste sold by Renshaw rather than overloading with coloring that would degrade the texture.

Patissland tip for figurine modeling

For stable figurines that don’t collapse: build in several stages with intermediate drying times. Start with the base (body, torso), let dry 4-6 hours, then add the arms and head, dry 4-6 hours, finish with fine details (face, accessories). For tall pieces (>15 cm), use a toothpick or wooden skewers as an internal armature to support the structure. For bright colors without degrading the texture, start with pre-colored Renshaw pastes rather than overloading with coloring.
