Frequently asked questions
How can I prevent the fondant from cracking when covering a cake?
Knead the fondant for 2 to 3 minutes to soften it before rolling. Roll it out to 4–5 mm thick on a surface dusted with icing sugar and smooth from the centre towards the edges without trapping air bubbles. If cracks appear, smooth them with your finger using a drop of water.
What is the difference between the 250g size and the 1kg size?
The 250g size is suitable for trials, small projects and colour tests. The 1kg size is the standard choice for customer orders and regular cake design production.
How long can a covered cake be stored?
2 to 3 days at room temperature (15–22°C), away from humidity and direct light. Do not refrigerate: the fondant will sweat and become sticky when exposed to the cold.
