What is sugar paste (pasta di zucchero)?
Sugar paste, also known as rolled fondant or pasta di zucchero, is a pliable confectionery dough of sugar, glucose syrup and edible fats used to cover cakes with a flawless skin and to sculpt decorations. Unlike royal icing, which sets hard, sugar paste stays soft and workable, making it the standard medium of modern cake design for wedding cakes, celebration cakes and competition show pieces.

Professional uses
Roll out to 2-3 mm with a rolling pin or pasta machine to cover cakes; before applying, spread a thin layer of jam or buttercream on the cake as an adhesive. Warm the paste briefly in the hands to soften it for modelling. Use plungers and cutters to make flowers, ribbons, bows, lettering and cartoon figures. The fuchsia shade is ideal for birthday and gender-reveal cakes, themed celebration cakes and patisserie display pieces. Combine with other Floreal colours for multi-tone decorations.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not knead in icing sugar excessively, as it dries the paste and causes cracking; if it stiffens, warm it briefly rather than adding more sugar. Do not roll directly onto a wet cake surface; always seal the cake with jam or buttercream first. Keep the opened paste wrapped airtight, because exposure to air forms a crust within minutes.
Pairings and complements
Pair with rolling pins, plunger cutters, edible glue, modelling tools and other Floreal sugar-paste colours to build complete decoration sets. Sponge bases, buttercream and ganache are the natural foundations under a fondant covering.
