Why Use Flower Paste?
Flower paste is specifically formulated to create delicate decorations that traditional fondant or modelling paste cannot easily achieve. Its elasticity allows decorators to roll ultra-thin petals while maintaining durability and realistic appearance.
Saracino Flower Paste stands out for its stability in humid environments and its ability to maintain beautiful translucency after drying.
Key Features
Humidity Resistant - Made with a starch-based formula that maintains structure and strength even in humid conditions. Decorations remain stable and do not wilt easily.
Translucent Petals - The paste maintains a natural translucency after drying, allowing decorators to create petals and leaves that closely resemble real flowers.
Easy to Colour - Absorbs gel colours and powder colours beautifully, ensuring even colouring and smooth finishing.
Non-Sticky Texture - Its silky consistency makes it easy to handle without the need for additional cornstarch or fats. For attaching petals to wires, simply use water or edible glue.
Fully Edible - Made with high-quality ingredients and free from artificial whiteners, making it suitable for edible cake decorations.
How to Use
- Take the required amount of paste and immediately reseal the container to prevent drying.
- Knead the paste until soft and flexible.
- Roll the paste into a thin sheet using a rolling pin.
- Shape petals and leaves using modelling tools or moulds.
- Allow decorations to air dry for approximately 4 hours depending on humidity levels.
For faster drying and firmer petals, a dehydrator or gentle heat source such as an incandescent light may be used.
