Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hi There,
I was just about to order some renshaw a sugarpaste then did a bit of online research. Looks like there are many other brands out there that could do a better job. Basically, I am looking for a sugarpaste that is easy to work with and that gives the best finish.
What do you think?
Thanks in advance
Katie

As you see from some of the answers given, it is personal preference. I used to use Renshaws all the time then it suddenly wasn’t working for me anymore. I changed over to Satin Ice ivory with no problems until recently when I used the white which didn’t suit me. Same brand, different colour! There are many reviews online from other cake decorators, to see them google ‘sugarpaste reviews’. The best way to know what suits you is to try a few brands or try sample packs as offered here:
