Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between fondant and modelling paste?

Fondant is soft and pliable, ideal for covering cakes and large surfaces. Modelling paste is firmer and dries much harder, making it perfect for sculpting figures, sugar flowers, and detailed decorations that need to hold their shape. It can be rolled very thin without tearing — great for delicate petals, bows, and ribbons. Browse our fondant and modelling paste range for both options.

How do I prevent modelling paste from cracking?

Keep modelling paste tightly sealed when not in use — air exposure is the main cause of cracking. Knead well before working with it, and warm briefly in your hands if it feels stiff. Avoid very dry or air-conditioned environments. A small amount of white vegetable shortening kneaded in can restore elasticity if the paste feels too firm. Let finished pieces air-dry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
