Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Cake Tin, a popular bespoke bakery in Bristol, was struggling with fondant tearing on the sharp-edged, modern cake designs that had become their signature. They needed a more reliable product that wouldn't slow down their decorating process.
"We were wasting so much time and product patching up tears and cracks, especially on square tiers. The PME blue fondant just glides over edges without any trouble. It’s made our decorating process much smoother and faster."
Ben Carter – Head Baker
By switching to PME's fondant, the bakery reduced its decorating time on complex cakes by an average of 15%, allowing them to increase their daily order capacity.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting It Ready to Use
- Knead the fondant gently on a clean, dry surface until it feels smooth and pliable.
- Lightly dust your worktop with a little icing sugar or cornflour to prevent sticking.
- For best results, try to work in a cool, dry room to prevent the fondant becoming too soft.
- Use a non-stick rolling pin to roll the icing out evenly to your desired thickness.
Keeping It Fresh
- As soon as you're done, wrap any unused fondant tightly in cling film to stop it from drying out.
- Place the wrapped fondant inside an airtight container for extra protection.
- Store the container at a cool, stable room temperature, away from sunlight or radiators.
- Do not put fondant in the fridge or freezer, as condensation can make it sticky and ruin the texture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much fondant do I need to cover a standard cake?
A: This 250g pack will typically cover a 6-inch round cake that is approximately 3 inches high. For larger cakes or deeper tiers, you will need to use more product.
Q: Can I mix this with other fondant colours?
A: Absolutely. PME fondant colours can be kneaded together to create your own unique, custom shades. Start with small amounts until you achieve your desired colour.
Q: Is this PME blue sugar paste suitable for vegetarians?
A: Yes, this product is suitable for vegetarians. We always recommend checking the packaging for the most current and detailed dietary information.
Q: How do I stop the fondant from tearing when covering a cake?
A: The key is to knead it well before use and roll it out evenly. This fondant's flexible Thermo-Tech formula is specifically designed to be pliable and resist tearing.
Q: Can I use this for making 3D models and figures?
A: Due to its softness, it's primarily designed for covering cakes. For firm models that need to set hard, we recommend adding a strengthening agent like CMC or Tylo powder.
Q: What is the best way to stick the fondant to my cake?
A: A thin, smooth layer of buttercream, ganache, or even a light coating of apricot jam works perfectly as an adhesive to help the fondant stick.
Q: How should I store a cake once it's decorated with fondant?
A: Keep the finished cake in a cool, dry place. A cardboard cake box is ideal as it allows the cake to breathe. Avoid storing it in the fridge, as this can cause condensation and make the fondant weep.
The PME Promise: Consistency in Every Creation
With over 60 years of heritage, PME is more than just a brand; it’s a standard in the cake decorating world. This blue sugar paste fondant 250g pack embodies that legacy. It's not just about a single ingredient; it's about the deep-rooted trust that professionals place in its reliability. When a bakery has an order for a multi-tiered wedding cake, they need every component to perform predictably, without fail. PME's obsessive focus on quality control and ‘workability’ means bakers spend less time fighting their materials and more time focusing on artistry. This fondant isn't just an ingredient; it’s an insurance policy against the common disasters of cracking, sweating, and tearing. In a busy commercial kitchen, that dependability translates directly into saved time, reduced product waste, and most importantly, consistently delighted customers who trust you to deliver perfection for their most special occasions.
Explore more from PMEWhat Does 'E171-Free' Mean For Your Bakes?
You've probably seen 'E171-Free' popping up more often, but what does it actually mean for your icing? In short, E171 (Titanium Dioxide) was a common food additive used for years to make products like fondant appear brighter and more opaque. However, due to changing regulations and a growing customer desire for 'cleaner' ingredient lists, many brands like PME have reformulated their products to remove it.
This PME fondant achieves its brilliant, uniform blue colour without needing E171. Think of it like a high-end paint for your house. You want a fantastic colour and great coverage, but you also want to know it's made with ingredients you're comfortable using in your home. This fondant gives you that same confidence, delivering stunning visual results while meeting the expectations of today's more discerning customers. It's professional performance with complete peace of mind.
