Expert Review and Insights
PME is a name that professional bakers and cake artists have trusted for decades, and this fondant really shows why. It handles beautifully, even under the pressure of a busy commercial kitchen schedule. The stretch is remarkable – it drapes over sharp-edged cakes without a fuss, which is where lesser quality pastes often fail. It’s a reliable, consistent choice for anyone who can't afford imperfections.
Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools View Profile →
- Pro: The Thermo-Tech formula makes it incredibly easy to knead and roll.
- Con: As a softer paste, it needs careful handling in very warm kitchens.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Cotswold Cakery, based in the picturesque town of Stow-on-the-Wold, was struggling with their previous fondant supplier. It was prone to tearing on the sharp-edged, modern wedding cake designs that had become their signature style, causing delays and frustration.
"We were spending far too long patching up tears and dealing with elephant skin, which was a real knock to our efficiency. The PME fondant just glides over edges. The finish is velvety, and our clients have even commented on the improved, less sugary taste."
David Chen – Head Baker
By making the switch, the bakery has reduced its average cake covering and smoothing time by approximately 20%, a significant saving on multi-tiered and complex commissions.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting It Ready
- Knead the fondant well on a surface lightly dusted with icing sugar until it's smooth and pliable.
- For best results, always bring the fondant to room temperature before you start working with it.
- If colouring, use a good quality gel or paste colour for vibrant shades without making it sticky.
- Apply to a cake that has been crumb-coated with a thin layer of buttercream or ganache for perfect adhesion.
Keeping It Fresh
- Once opened, wrap any unused fondant tightly in two layers of cling film to prevent it from drying out.
- Store the wrapped fondant inside an airtight container at a cool, ambient room temperature.
- Never refrigerate or freeze the fondant, as this can cause condensation to form, which makes it wet and sticky when thawed.
- When ready to re-use, simply knead it again until it returns to its soft, pliable state.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this fondant ready to use straight from the pack?
A: Almost! Just give it a good knead for a minute or two on a surface lightly dusted with icing sugar. This activates the Thermo-Tech and makes it perfectly smooth and pliable.
Q: What does E171-free mean?
A: It means this fondant does not contain Titanium Dioxide (E171), a whitening agent that has been phased out in the EU and UK for food use. It's a sign of a modern, compliant recipe.
Q: Can I colour this white fondant icing 2kg pack?
A: Absolutely. It has a brilliant white base, making it perfect for colouring. Use good quality food-safe gel or paste colours for the best results without affecting the consistency.
Q: How thin can I roll this fondant?
A: Thanks to its excellent elasticity, you can confidently roll it to about 2-3mm thick without it tearing, which is ideal for covering cakes economically and providing a delicate mouthfeel.
Q: Is this PME sugar paste 2kg suitable for modelling figures?
A: It's primarily a covering paste due to its softness. For detailed models that need to hold their shape, we recommend adding a little CMC or Tylo powder to help it firm up and dry harder.
Q: What is the best way to get fondant to stick to the cake?
A: For a professional finish, apply it over a perfectly smooth, chilled layer of buttercream or chocolate ganache. A very light mist of water can also help if your crumb coat is dry.
Q: Does this fondant have a strong or artificial flavour?
A: Not at all. It has a pleasant, mild vanilla flavour that is designed to complement your cake, rather than overpower it with a sugary or chemical taste.
Q: How do I prevent it from cracking on the corners of a square cake?
A: This formula is designed to prevent cracking! The key is to knead it well and roll it into a piece large enough to cover the entire cake without over-stretching it as you apply it.
