Cake Craft White Flower Paste 1kg

Cake Craft White Flower Paste is a premium sugar paste specially formulated for making lifelike sugar flowers. Unlike regular fondant, flower paste dries firm and holds fine detail, allowing you to create delicate petals, stamens, and leaves that look remarkably realistic. Developed for Australia's warmer, humid conditions, it becomes elastic when warmed and kneaded — then firms under ambient conditions to hold its shape. At 1kg it's a generous supply for extensive floral work and has Halal certification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between flower paste and fondant?

Flower paste (also called gum paste) dries very firm and can be rolled paper-thin, making it ideal for lifelike sugar flowers and delicate decorations. Fondant stays soft and flexible, making it better for covering cakes. If you want to make detailed sugar roses, petals, or structured decorations, flower paste gives a far superior result.

How do I prevent flower paste from cracking?

Work quickly — flower paste dries fast when exposed to air. Keep unused paste tightly sealed in plastic wrap. If it feels stiff, knead in a small amount of white vegetable shortening to restore pliability. Roll on a lightly greased non-stick mat and avoid over-flouring, as too much cornflour or icing sugar can dry the paste. Let finished flowers air-dry in a cool, dry spot, standing upright if possible so petals hold their shape.
