Couture White Sugar Paste - Vegan Friendly Ready to Roll Icing - Icing for Cake Decorating - Also Suitable as a Modelling Paste for Cakes 2.5kg

Product Information

It comes ready to roll for maximum convenience, has a vibrant and smooth white finish, and is suitable for use by both professional bakers and cake decorators, and at home. PREPARATION - it is important to knead well before use to activate the gums for best performance - the ultra-fine icing sugar creates a 'dense' paste which, in cooler weather, may feel difficult to knead at first so if you find it a bit hard work you can warm slightly in a microwave (blitz for 10 seconds) prior to kneading.

The main issue I had was getting it to firm up in any way - once applied over cold butter cream it got too sticky to work with so I tried again once the buttercream was up to room temp (I know some sugarpaste isn't as good as Massa Ticino at handling changes in temperature) and had to apply a ton of cornflour just to be able to use a paddle on it. I was also working in very warm summer weather - when I tend to avoid using sugarpaste but I had no problems with it being too warm. The the icing survived perfectly, after a few hours sitting out of the fridge in the box, any condensation was gone and the cake looked perfect.

Couture doesn't crack or craze (especially around corners) or form elephant skin if prepared correctly . It can be a bit tougher to knead at first but I pop in the micro for 30 seconds and it helps warm it through (I always had to do this with Satin ice so its not unusual).

As a home hobby baker, I get asked to do friends cakes often - for my first wedding cake I decided the normal supermarket sugar paste wasn't good enough. It is a professional quality cake covering which offers a smooth porcelain-like finish but can be rolled out thinly perfect for decorating shaped or tall cakes with sharp edges without experiencing cracking or tearing!
