Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Our Flowerpaste contains only edible colourings and can by used for lettering/modelling. If you enhance the colour even if the colourings are listed as ‘non-toxic’ we recommend you remove this from the cake before cutting.

Ideally wrap the flowers in tissue and enclose in a box. Store out of heat somewhere for safe keeping.

This does depend on atmospheric conditions and also the size of your flower / project. We recommend that you leave you flowers to dry overnight. Please see our recommendations below if you live in a more humid environment.

If you are using Beau Flowerpaste where humidity is present, firstly roll out and cut a test piece of the Flowerpaste and leave to dry out 24hours. If it has not hardened to your requirements then you can add gum trag, cmc, tylose powder to the Flowerpaste, knead well in and leave to mature for 24 hours.

When you have finished using the product pop it back into the tub ensuring the lid is on. Or place inside your own airtight container until you need it again. Store away from direct sunlight and at a recommended temperature of 20c. The product can be frozen and does not change its consistency, BUT it must be defrosted at room temperature before using.

Yes: If you wish to add colour to our paste then we recommend that you use the ‘White’ paste. Brilliant white has white colour added and is ideal for any project you wish to dust. Once dusted sugar flowers can be lightly steamed, giving excellent vibrant results. We recommend that these items are removed from the cake before cutting as the dusts & colours may not be edible.
