Whether you’re a hobby baker or a professional cake artist, using the right fondant can make or break your cake design. In the world of cake decorating, few products are as loved and trusted as Saracino Pasta Cover – a premium sugar paste (also known as fondant) that delivers unbeatable performance and finish.

In this article, we explore what makes Saracino Pasta Cover Sugarpaste one of the best fondants available, especially for decorators working in unpredictable weather conditions.

💚 What Is Fondant or Sugar Paste?

Fondant, also called sugarpaste in the UK, is a smooth, pliable icing used to cover cakes for a polished, elegant look. It can also be moulded into decorative shapes. While many fondants exist on the market, not all deliver consistent results.

Saracino Pasta Cover is a high-quality fondant sugar paste made in Italy, engineered specifically for cake covering. It’s a hybrid of the best qualities of fondant/ sugarpaste: easy to work with, resistant to tearing, and perfect for achieving razor-sharp edges.

💚 Why Choose Saracino Pasta Cover Fondant?

Here’s why cake decorators choose Saracino over other fondant brands:

✅ Elastic and Tear-Resistant

The paste is incredibly elastic and forgiving, making it easier to handle without tearing or cracking.

✅ Perfect for Sharp Edges

Saracino holds its shape even when rolled thin, making it ideal for clean, modern cake edges.

✅ No Elephant Skin

Many fondants dry too fast, causing surface cracks. Saracino retains flexibility, giving decorators more time to perfect their designs.

✅ Performs Well in Warm Weather

Especially in kitchens that fluctuate between warm and humid, Saracino’s stability between 18–38°C is a huge plus.

✅ Vegan and Gluten-Free

It’s suitable for most dietary needs, with no animal products or gluten.

✅ Light Vanilla Flavour

Mild and pleasant, it complements cake flavours without overpowering them.

💚 Pro Tips for Working with Saracino Sugarpaste – Pasta Cover

  • Knead before use: It becomes more elastic as you warm it with your hands.

  • Roll thin: You can roll Saracino Pasta Cover down to 1.5–2mm without it tearing.

  • Use a smoother: For the ultimate polished look, always use a fondant smoother tool.

  • Store properly: Keep unused fondant in an airtight bag in a cool, dry place.

How to Use Saracino’s New Pearl Powders for Stunning Cake Decorating Results

by Carol Smith

Unlock the Magic of Colour: Exploring Saracino’s New Pearl Powders for Cake Decorating

Welcome to this month’s Sweet Pastry Chat – your insider scoop on the latest cake decorating trends and tips! Whether you’re a seasoned cake artist or a hobby baker with a love for sugar craft, this one’s for you. Today, we’re diving into the shimmering world of edible pearl powders and not just any powders, but the fabulous new additions from Saracino: Emerald Green and Pearl Blue.

These vibrant newcomers to Saracino’s Powder Pearl range are here to elevate your decorating game. From lustrous cakes to elegant sugar flowers, they’re the secret ingredient for adding sparkle and sophistication.

💚 Emerald Green: More Than Just a Colour

When the Emerald Green pearl powder landed in our hands, it was an immediate show-stopper. This isn’t just a green – it’s a captivating blend with a hint of gold that gives it a luxurious, multidimensional finish.

Top Cake Decorating Tip:
Always test your edible powder mix on spare sugar paste before applying it to your final cake. Colours may shift depending on consistency, and a little experimenting goes a long way in avoiding those “I wish I hadn’t” moments!

🖌️ How to Use Saracino Pearl Powders

To get the best out of your Saracino pearl powder, mix it with rejuvenator spirit. This ensures the powder dissolves fully and avoids any unwanted grainy texture on your cake surface.

  • Apply in thin coats – one is good, but two coats really make the shimmer pop, especially with the gold-tinted Emerald Green.

  • Use a large, soft round brush to buff the surface – this creates a smooth, gleaming effect that looks stunning under light.

💡 Pro Tip: Vary the concentration of your mix to achieve different shades. With just one colour, you can create up to five unique tones – from deep green to a subtle minty shimmer.

🤎 Cocoa Butter Compatibility

One pleasant surprise? The Saracino pearl powders work beautifully with cocoa butter. The match was so seamless, it echoed the same rich green tone as seen on the cake – proof that these powders aren’t just pretty, they’re versatile too.

🎨 Why Saracino Powders Deserve a Spot in Your Kit

  • Intense pigmentation for strong colour payoff

  • Smooth, satin finish perfect for both modern and traditional cake designs

  • Works on sugar paste, modelling chocolate, and even chocolate ganache

  • Bendable with spirits or cocoa butter for different finishes

🌟 Final Thoughts

If you’re looking to elevate your cake decorating with edible shimmer, the new Emerald Green and Pearl Blue from Saracino are must-haves. Whether you’re dusting delicate flowers, adding drama to cake tiers, or exploring painted finishes, these powders give you professional-grade results.

How to make Dubai Chocolate

How to make Dubai Chocolate

Dubai Chocolate

by Saracino

Dubai Chocolate is a luxurious blend of creamy, nutty, and crispy textures, perfect for any special occasion. Whether you make them for yourself or as a gift, this homemade delicacy is bound to impress. Try this recipe today and experience the ultimate taste of Dubai!

You will need:

Ingredients for 2 chocolate moulds

    • 500g milk chocolate
    • 180g Saracino Pure Pistachio 100% food flavouring – no need to add tahini due to its rich pistachio flavour
    • 200g chopped dry kataifi pastry
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • A handful of chopped pistachio nuts (optional)

Step 1: Melt the Milk Chocolate

  1. Chop the milk chocolate into small pieces for even melting.
  2. Use a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Pour a thin layer of melted chocolate into the bottom of each mould to create a base. Set aside to slightly firm up.

Step 2: Prepare the Kataifi Filling

  1. Chop the dry kataifi pastry into smaller pieces.
  2. Heat a pan over medium heat and melt the butter.
  3. Add the kataifi pastry and fry until golden brown, stirring continuously to avoid burning.
  4. Once golden and crisp, remove from heat and mix in the Saracino Pure Pistachio food flavouring and chopped pistachio nuts until evenly coated. The Saracino flavouring not only enhances the taste but also provides an extra layer of crunch to the filling.

Step 3: Assemble the Chocolates

  1. Spoon the pistachio-kataifi mixture into each chocolate mould, filling it about ¾ full.
  2. Cover the filling with the remaining melted chocolate, ensuring a smooth and even finish.
  3. Gently tap the mould on a flat surface to remove air bubbles.
  4. Place the mould in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until fully set.

Step 4: Unmould and Serve

  1. Once the chocolates are firm, carefully pop them out of the mould.
  2. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Pro Tips for the Best Dubai Chocolate

  1. Enhance the Flavour: Add a pinch of sea salt to the melted chocolate for a balanced sweetness.
  2. Experiment with Shapes: Use decorative moulds to make visually stunning chocolates.
  3. Perfect Storage: Keep chocolates refrigerated in warm climates to prevent melting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Dark Chocolate Instead of Milk Chocolate?

Yes! Dark chocolate adds a more intense flavour, complementing the pistachio beautifully.

Where Can I Buy Kataifi Pastry?

You can find kataifi pastry in Middle Eastern or Mediterranean stores, or order it online.

How Long Do These Chocolates Last?

When stored properly in an airtight container, they can last up to 2 weeks.
