Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Is it ok to use saracino modelling paste to put vertical stripes on a circus cake?? OR fondant with tylose??

Hi elaine77

Adding tylose to fondant makes modelling paste so, it’s fine to use the Saracino modelling paste if you find it more convenient. 🙂

It has gone past the bbdate but it that ok?? Also i have some unopened saracino sugarpaste 9 months past bbd…will it be ok to use it looks and feels fine. Have been on some of the cake supplies websites and they have suddenly started saying that if sugarpaste is past bbd only to use on competition work!! please advise thanks

If it is going to be eaten I wouldn’t put it on the cake. I’d just use it for practice modelling and dummy cakes. Anything that involves people eating a product should follow the manufacturer’s guidelines. I think that would be in the best interests of everyone.
