Ready-to-use green sugar paste by Floreal, the master tool of cake design for covering and modelling celebration cakes. Each resealable pack holds 300 g of soft, pliable green fondant, supplied in a case of 12 packs (3.6 kg total). Sugar-based (71%), gluten free and free from hydrogenated fats, it is ready to roll and shape with no extra colouring. Made in Italy by Floreal, Milan, founded in 1961.
What sugar paste is
Sugar paste, also known as fondant or rolled icing, is a sweet, malleable dough made of sugar, glucose syrup and vegetable fats. It is the cornerstone of modern cake design: rolled thin it gives cakes a flawless, porcelain-smooth surface; worked by hand it becomes flowers, ribbons, drapes, figurines and bas-reliefs. Unlike marzipan it has a neutral, purely sweet taste that does not compete with the cake, and it holds shape and colour for days.
The producer: Floreal, Milan since 1961
Floreal is an Italian company founded in Milan in 1961 and based in Assago (Milan). For over sixty years it has specialised in artistic decorations for pastry: sugar flowers, royal icing, wafer decorations, chocolate ornaments and sugar paste. Production is entirely Made in Italy, free from hydrogenated fats and gluten free, with rigorous quality controls. This green sugar paste belongs to its cake design line and is exported to professionals across Europe.
Colour and texture
The green is fully and evenly worked into the paste, so there is no marbling or surface streaking when rolled. The texture is soft and elastic straight from the pack: it stretches without tearing, does not crack at the edges when covering a cake and stays workable long enough for detailed modelling. The finish is matte-satin, ideal for both smooth coverings and sculpted details.
Professional uses
- Covering cakes: roll out to 2-3 mm and lay over a cake first sealed with apricot jam or buttercream for a smooth, uniform green surface.
- Modelling: shape leaves, stems, ribbons, bows and figures by hand or with cutters and silicone moulds; the green tone is perfect for foliage, cactus, jungle and Christmas themes.
- Drapes and ruffles: roll thin and pleat for elegant wedding-cake drapes.
- Plaques and lettering: cut shapes with cutters for greeting plaques and three-dimensional letters.
- Cupcakes and biscuits: cut discs to top cupcakes or decorated biscuits in batch.
Professional tips and common mistakes
Knead the paste briefly before use to warm it and restore elasticity. Dust the surface with a little icing sugar or corn starch (never flour) to prevent sticking. Keep the open pack tightly sealed: sugar paste dries quickly in contact with air and becomes brittle. Avoid working it in a humid environment, as moisture makes it sticky and dull. Do not refrigerate finished decorations uncovered, as condensation spoils the surface.
