Gumpaste or modelling sugar paste
There are 13 products.
Modelling sugar paste is not only suitable for making figures, but also for creating ruffles, bows and many other 3D decorations. Our modelling pastes are of high quality, sturdier than regular sugar paste and do not stick. In this category you will find Saracino Pasta modelling paste in black, brown, red and pink-beige in 250 g packs and in white in a 1 kg pack, white modelling paste in 250 g and 1 kg packs and the 200 g white modelling paste. For figures with a chocolate flavour there is modelling chocolate in white, light brown and dark brown, and for extra sturdy parts CMC/Tylose powder.
Modelling tips
- Paint once dry: once the paste has dried, you can also paint it – for example faces, eyes or fine patterns.
- Strengthen with CMC: knead a little CMC/Tylose powder into regular sugar paste when a part needs to be even sturdier, such as an arm or a ribbon.
- Use the skin tone directly: the pink-beige modelling paste saves you from mixing a skin colour for faces and hands.
- Wrap well: wrap opened packs airtight so the paste does not dry out.
FAQ about modelling sugar paste
How does modelling paste differ from rolled fondant?
Modelling paste is firmer and dries faster, so figures, ruffles and bows keep their shape. Rolled fondant is softer and mainly used for covering cakes.
What is modelling chocolate used for?
Modelling chocolate can be shaped like play dough and is ideal for flowers, ribbons and figures that should taste of chocolate.
