PASTA TOP:

Ready to use sugar paste designed specifically for covering cakes. It is extremely elastic and tear resistant: easy to achieve a professional result even with very thin thicknesses (it can be used as thin as 1 mm without cracking) and easily withstands temperature changes. Ideal for use in humid conditions.

It is recommended to work the paste by hand before use for at least two minutes in order to make it elastic and workable. If this is not enough, it is recommended to heat it briefly in a microwave oven (700 WATT) for a maximum of 10 seconds.

Contains sugar, cocoa butter and sunflower oil. It is suitable for hot and humid climates. It is workable without problems even at temperatures above 30°C and high humidity levels.

Pasta Top can also be used for cakes that require refrigerated storage. It can be coloured with fat-soluble powder or gel food colouring. It has a delicate vanilla aroma that enhances its sweet flavour, perfectly complementing that of the cake.
