WHAT IS Sugar Paste?
Sugar Paste is an edible icing used to decorate or sculpt cakes and pastries. It is made from sugar, water, corn syrup and our special blend of natural gums, and glycerol that are heated and cooled to produce a dough like consistency. It is a type of sugar dough that can be rolled out to cover your cake for a sleek, smooth finish. Confect sugar paste has half the sweetness compared to any of its competitors making it much more nutritious & diabetic friendly.
It is also gluten free, nut free, dairy free, trans fat free and lactose free. Typically people try to make their own sugar paste recipes at home, which is hard to use on your cakes. However, using ready to roll Confect sugar paste saves you preparation time and gets you right to decorating without sacrificing taste or quality!

Sugar paste is the professional reference, which ensures differentiation between itself and gum/petal paste which is also used in similar applications.
You can buy white and color it yourself although if you are set on doing this make sure you use a gel colourant as opposed to liquid food color. Otherwise you can buy sugar paste in lots of different colors and even mix them together to get unique colors. Sugar paste can be kept for up to nine months in an airtight container or you can even freeze it and it will last forever!
We find that many newbie cake decorators become easily confused with all the different names given to the soft roll out icing that we use these days to cover most of our cakes. However, to sum it up, basically yes, sugar paste is the term most widely used in the UK for this soft icing and the term fondant when used in the US, is the US equivalent.

Works especially well on flowers and leaves, used to decorate wedding cakes. It is rolled sugar paste without any of the softening ingredients (glycerin corn starch or shortening). It is used mainly for decorative ribbons, 3-D shapes and appliqués because it dries bone-dry and crusts more quickly than Sugar Paste. It is a paste for decorations composed primarily of confectionery sugar. There are many recipes depending on the smoothness desired and these are closely guarded secrets. Of course there exists for less exacting among us simple recipes but which prohibit a real work of smoothness or precision.

Gum paste is generally not consumed but more the finished pieces are put aside and treasured as keepsakes. Gum Paste is suggested to be used for decorative pieces only. Like sugar paste is pliable dough which is often used for cake decorating. However, instead of gelatin it is made using egg whites, confectioners' sugar, and shortening. While sugar paste will remain soft, gum paste dries quite hard and is better suited for decoration on a cake than for, say, covering an entire cake.
The flavour of Confect Gumpaste is exactly like Confect Sugarpaste, it’s tastes like vanilla marshmallow! Unlike most other Gumpaste its a very soft & pliable product making it very easy to work with especially for beginners! It dries quick, but not so quickly that a beginner would have trouble working with it.
When working with gum paste always keep what is not being used tightly covered. If you don’t want a piece to dry right away, keep it tightly covered between two sheets of plastic wrap.
Gum paste should never be used to cover a cake as it dries rock hard.When making the choice between gum paste and sugar paste for modeling items such as bows, flowers, and characters, gum paste is going to be the best choice.
Confect Gum paste can be rolled very thin so your flower petals will look more realistic. Using gum paste for modeling will help avoid the drooping and breakage that can happen with sugarpaste modeling.
It's always sad to hear when customers attempt to make bows, ribbons or crowns out of sugarpaste and are extremely discouraged with how difficult it was. We always encourage them to try it again with gum paste as it proves every time to be easier to model with.
