Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A
Ferrari 6″ wide cake topper
Hi everyone,
do you know what is best to use for a ferrari cake topper. I need to put a lot of detail to it as it is for an adult! I tried sugarpaste already but it was hard tp shape the whole body of the car as one whole piece. I was thinking rice krispies but id rather do something they can keep. Has anyone ever used sugarpaste for this? Need your help.
Thanks guys!!

hiya , sugarpaste by itself won’t hold unless you add cmc /gum trag to it . There are lots of other mediums cake artists us such as modelling chocolate, modelling paste, or even carving it out with rice crispy treats and covering it with modelling paste/chocolate.
Hi daniela
You could try using pastillage which dries very hard, once dried can be shaped with sand paper. There is information here on how to use it http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/help-and-advice/helpful-advice/how-to-use-pastillage.html. Just another suggestion to consider.
