The difference between flipping sugar paste and dry paisley is as follows:

1, plasticity

Dry paisley is malleable, used to pinch sugar flowers, animals, dolls and other things that need to be styled, and the flipping sugar paste is softer, rolled out with a rolling pin and covered on the cake to make a surface.

2, texture

Dry paisley easy to dry, suitable for modeling, for example, you want to do a three-dimensional sense of bow on the flipping sugar cake, it is best to use dry paisley, with the flip-sugar, then, before it dries out the stereotypes, it is easy to collapse. Flipping sugar, which is semi-fluid, is basically just normal flipping sugar paste thinned with water, with a glossy finish, and can be used to make toppings (and also Lightning Puffs).

Note:

1, gum paste is very easy to dry, so you must pay attention to at any time with plastic wrap or airtight bag really tightly wrapped, as long as a little contact with the air, soon will become hard. It is suggested that the gum paste can be divided into many parts, and each part is individually wrapped with adhesive film, and only one part is taken at a time to be used, so as to ensure that the rest of the gum paste will not be opened repeatedly and wrapped up to follow the loss of water and dryness, which can reduce the unnecessary wear and tear.

2. Gum paste is a white sugar paste that can be mixed with food coloring to change its color. If necessary, you can use a dry brush to dry-brush the coloring powder after air-drying and shaping, or dissolve the coloring powder with food alcohol and wet-brush it as pigment.
