Sugar paste is a delicate process that cannot be improvised. In fact, there are modeling tools for sugar paste: Let's find out how to use them and what the main tools are for modeling sugar paste and obtaining dream preparations! Here is an overview of the main sugar paste tools and how to use them:
- The silicone mat to prevent the sugar paste from sticking to the work surface. Always use corn starch (or, if you prefer, icing sugar) to ensure maximum dough yield.
- The decorative roller is very useful for obtaining quick designs and for imprinting a very specific pattern on icing and sugar paste. Do you remember the plasticine roller when you were little? Well, it works the same way!
- Food colouring: sugar paste is naturally white. With food coloring you have the opportunity to color it in the way that is most useful for the decoration you have in mind or that has been commissioned to you.
