Frequently asked questions
How to prevent sugar paste from cracking when covering?
Knead the paste for 2-3 minutes to soften. Roll out to 4-5 mm thickness. Smooth from the center to the edges without leaving air bubbles. If cracks appear, smooth with a finger and a drop of water.
Can this sugar paste be colored with food coloring?
Yes, add gel coloring while kneading. To intensify, add in small amounts. Warning: manual coloring will never achieve the same intensity as the original Fun Cakes shade.
How long does the paste last once the cake is covered?
2 to 3 days at room temperature (15-22 °C), protected from humidity and direct light. Do not refrigerate (the paste will sweat and become sticky).

The 250g is a trial size (15-18 cm cake). The 1kg is the standard size for cake designers (22-25 cm cake). The 5kg is a pro size for workshops. The 12.5 kg is a large capacity size for schools and intensive production.
