Pastkolor

Pastkolor sugar paste is a smooth, flexible, all-purpose fondant with a light lemon flavour. Thanks to its firm texture you can create beautiful cakes every time: it is easy to turn into three-dimensional designs, easy to shape into detailed decorations and easy to use for covering, giving you a perfect cake finish. Its firm consistency is a real advantage on warm days. Pastkolor comes in 250 g in white, black, red and pink, in 1 kg in twelve colours – white, black, red, pink, yellow, orange, green, blue, light blue, navy blue, violet and brown – and as white ready-to-roll fondant in 2.5 kg. The strong colours save you from colouring it yourself, which saves a lot of time and colouring, especially for black and red.

Tips for working with Pastkolor

• Knead well: knead the paste thoroughly before rolling it out until it is smooth and warm.
• Starch instead of icing sugar: fine baker's starch or Magic Roll-Out Powder stop it sticking without drying out the surface.
• Firm it up for figures: a little CMC/Tylose powder makes the fondant even firmer, ideal for standing figures.
• Stick neatly: edible glue in a tube or brush pen holds decorations firmly in place.

Frequently asked questions about Pastkolor fondant

Is Pastkolor suitable for tall cakes and 3D cakes?

Yes, that is its strength. Its firm texture lets you cover tall cakes and even 3D cakes such as a football without the fondant tearing. Angular shapes can be covered neatly too.

Which pack size is right for me?

For details and small figures, 250 g in white, black, red or pink is enough. For covering whole cakes in colour, the 1 kg pack with the widest choice of colours is practical, and if you cover a lot in white or colour it yourself, go for the 2.5 kg ready-to-roll fondant.
