Dear Marina

The sugarpaste will last a long time (approx 6 months) if stored correctly in an airtight container.

Happy cake making!

Dear Tony

It sounds like something has gone wrong. Make sure you are using the correct quantities of the ingredients.

Good luck!

Hi Nan,
Its great to hear that you can source the ingredients out in India, and that is turned out so well.
Lets hope others in India see this and know it can be done.

thank you thank you thank you!
i tried this recipe out for the first time today and it was amazing!!
i live in india where its not easy to source readymade sugarpaste. let me also tell you that ingredients such as liquid glucose, gelatine and glycerine are not easy to find! took me a few days and a loooot of searching but i managed to find the liquid glucose and gelatine! i didnt use glycerine in my trial and it still turned out absolutely perfect! i in fact added a few extra drops of warm water and it was the perfect texture!
thank you so much lindy! u made my day!

Hi Helen,
This recipe can be frozen and colour can be added after as and when you need it.
Have fun with the Lego cake.

Tried your recipe for sugar paste, but found it to be very sticky, no matter how much icing sugar I used to knead the dough with. Can you please give me some advice. Many thanks Tony.

Hi Lindy, I have been having a go at making a Lego cake for an 8th birthday. The results I am thrilled with but it cost me a fortune in sugar paste so I am going to have a go at making my own from your recipe. Can I freeze it plain and then add colour as and when I need to use it? Thanks Helen x

Hi Mal

Great to hear you’re enjoying the blog.

Lindy only uses powdered gelatine and therefore cannot help with quantities of leaf gelatine. Can anyone else help?

Hi Lindy,

Can you please tell how long the sugar paste usually lasts for (expiring date)? I will try to make some cake decorations for a cake but I’m not sure how early can I make them.I don’t want them to go off before we get to eat the cake.

Many thanks,

Marina
