Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Does anyone have a preferred brand of black sugarpaste? I’m wanting to use it to cover the bottom tier of a birthday cake, 6 inch square.

Could I use modelling paste for petal ruffles?

Thanks!

My preferred brand is Carmass Massa pitch black:

Sattina is another good brand, they too make a pitch black fondant.:

There are many more, hopefully other members will reccommend their favourite brands too.
