Here's what the professionals say about Satinara….

On covering tall cakes

“...normally what you would see with a weaker paste, … from the mid-section to the lower part you would see stress areas with cracks and crazing or some actual tearing, but with this paste all the way down to the bottom it is completely intact, and it feels really nice and smooth”

“…lovely and stretchy but maintains integrity when placing on deep cakes with sharp edges.”

Satinara is the UK's new Luxury Sugar Paste. It has been expertly formulated to ensure you get the best possible results. Satinara understands that cake makers are looking for three key attributes in their sugar paste icing;

• A silky smooth finish
• The right amount of stretch and strength
• Pliability that has a good working window

Due to its superior formulation, Satinara is designed with these three attributes in mind, and its no-fail formulation means that it can be used by experts or home bakers and will always deliver a crack-free silky smooth finish.

Satinara is designed to be particularly suitable for covering tall, complex cakes as it can be rolled to just 2mm thickness whilst maintaining its integrity, allowing you to create those crisp, sharp edges. This also makes it a great money-saver. In tests, one 5kg pack of Satinara covered three large cakes* and there was still plenty left over to make some sugar models. 

Making sugar models such as simple roses and characters can easily be achieved without additives. If you want to create more intricate models such as fine flowers or detail work, then a little tylo powder can be added to provide enhanced rigidity.

Satinara is available in White and Ivory in 2.5kg and 5kg pack sizes. If you require a coloured paste then we recommend colouring the paste with a few drops of a high quality food colour such as Colour Splash gels or dusts. Be careful to not saturate the icing with liquid food colours as this would alter the texture of the paste.

Don't just take our word for it, here is what some professional cake makers have said after testing Satinara;

“ ..you get that really smooth, perfect, professional finish”

“it has a nice robust texture, and loads of elasticity in it”

“You’re not going to be spending loads of time smoothing out because it’s worked the first time”

Depending on the amount of icing you need divide the paste into smaller pieces. Knead the paste thoroughly to ensure the gums are activated as this will achieve maximum pliability and strength.

Use a small amount of icing sugar on your work surface and rolling pin, and roll to the desired thickness.

Store any unused sugar paste in an airtight container or sealed bag away from humidity, heat and bright lights.

* Cake coverage achieved with 3.4kg : 10" x 8" round, 12" x 4" round, 10" x 2" square

** You can microwave the paste for a few seconds to bring it up to ambient temperature but please note: microwaving the paste will not activate the gums required to give it it's pliability. This will need to be achieved by kneading the paste as per the above instructions.
