Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between fondant and modelling paste?

Fondant (like Pettinice RTR) is a soft, pliable icing designed for covering cakes and creating smooth surfaces. It stays flexible and drapes easily. Modelling paste is firmer and dries much harder, making it better for sculpting figures, flowers, and decorations that need to hold their shape. Use fondant to cover your cake and modelling paste for your decorative pieces.

How do I stop fondant from cracking when I apply it?

Cracking usually happens when the fondant is too dry or too cold. Knead thoroughly until smooth and pliable — if it feels stiff, warm it briefly in your hands or microwave for 5 seconds. Dust your surface lightly with icing sugar or cornflour (too much will dry it out). Work quickly and keep unused fondant wrapped tightly in plastic wrap between uses.
