Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
How do I prevent sugar paste from cracking when covering a cake?
Knead the paste for 2-3 minutes to make it supple. Roll out to 4-5 mm thick. Smooth from the centre towards the edges without trapping air bubbles. If a crack appears, smooth it with a finger and a drop of water.
Can this sugar paste be coloured with food colouring?
Yes, add gel colouring while kneading. To intensify the shade, add it in small amounts. Note: hand colouring will never give 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), away from humidity and direct light. Do not refrigerate (the paste sweats and becomes sticky).
What is the difference between the 250 g, 1 kg, 5 kg and 12.5 kg sizes?
The 250 g is a discovery size (cake 15-18 cm). The 1 kg is the standard size for cake designers (cake 22-25 cm). The 5 kg is a professional size for workshops. The 12.5 kg is a large-capacity size for schools and intensive production.
Sea Blue tip?
Sea Blue may lightly stain work surfaces: use a dedicated silicone mat.
