Personal style and imagination are used to decorate a cake. To get the best results the individual’s skill is challenged every time.

To work with sugar paste, a flat and clean surface is essential. Always knead the paste using the hands. In case it gets sticky add icing sugar, never use flour. Always work at room temperature. Warm hands make the sugar paste stickier. It can be rolled very thin, used for making delicate shapes.

Sugar paste is always kept in air tidy nylon bags, at room temperature.

Sugar paste come in quite a lot of colours like red, green, yellow, blue, white, black and many more. Different colours of sugar paste can be created by adding coloured paste.

These can be stored in boxes at room temperature or refrigerated if needed.
