What sugar paste is
Sugar paste (also called rolled fondant or pasta di zucchero) is a pliable, sugar-based covering paste used in cake design to coat and decorate cakes. Made mainly from sugar, glucose syrup and vegetable fats, it can be rolled into thin sheets to drape over a cake or modelled by hand into figures, flowers and plaques. It became central to modern celebration-cake decoration, where a flawless coloured surface and crisp modelling are essential.

The company combines quality raw materials, Made in Italy production, investment in technology and continuous research and development of new products.

Characteristics
This Pink shade offers an even, vivid colour and a pleasant, neutral sweet taste. The paste is elastic and tear-resistant, easy to warm and knead, and stable once applied. It is gluten free; sugar accounts for 74% of the recipe. Texture stays workable at room temperature, making it suitable for both hand modelling and lamination machines.
