Couture
Couture sugarpaste icing, often referred to as fondant, is a smooth, pliable icing used to cover cakes and create intricate decorations. It’s favored in cake decorating for its versatility and elegant finish. Here’s a quick overview:
What is Couture Sugarpaste Icing?
- Ingredients: Typically made from sugar, water, gelatin, glycerin, and corn syrup.
- Texture: Soft and malleable when kneaded, allowing for detailed designs.
- Uses: Covers cakes, creates decorations, and can be molded into various shapes.
Tips for Working with Sugarpaste:
- Preparation: Ensure your cake is chilled before applying to help prevent sticking.
- Kneading: Knead until smooth and pliable; dust with cornstarch or powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
- Rolling Out: Roll to your desired thickness (about 1/8 inch is common) on a lightly dusted surface.
- Applying: Use a rolling pin to transfer it over the cake, smoothing out any air bubbles.
- Decorating: You can tint sugarpaste with gel colors, and use tools for textures and details.
Storage:
- Keep in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain its pliability.

What Our Customers Say About Us
I have used Cupcake Avenue for my cake decorating supplies since they set up in Rochester. They have always been extremely helpful and accommodating.
J Wilson
For some reason I've found myself organising a lot of Hen Do's and each time, I always get cupcakes from Cupcake Avenue. The Hens are always absolutely thrilled, especially when they're customised with the Bride-To-Be's favourite items. They have always been delivered on time, taste delicious and I have really appreciated the advice given in the past.
