2.5kg / 5½lb Cake Stuff Couture white luxury sugarpaste ready to roll icing
Winner of the PRODUCT EXCELLENCE AWARD (Best Product - Edible Category) Cake Masters Magazine Awards 2019
Couture is the Great British luxury quality sugarpaste everyone is talking about
often imitated but never bettered - this is the sugar paste that allows you to decorate your cakes with real finesse and panache
since its launch 3 years ago, Couture has become one of the most sought after sugarpastes in the UK
re-developed, improved and extensively trialled with the help of our customers over the past year to make it even better, with longer BBE dates than before*
made exclusively for Cake Stuff, Couture the perfect sugarpaste for wedding and high-end celebration cakes, where quality of finish means everything
made using very special ultra-fine icing sugar and the finest Gum Tragacanth - these luxury ingredients help create the smoothest fondant yet for a flawlessly satin smooth icing that dries to an almost porcelain-like, silky finish
Couture doesn't crack or craze (especially around corners) or form elephant skin if prepared correctly . . . simply knead well to activate the natural gums and you'll quickly realise just how good this sugarpaste really is
Couture is ideal for the latest cake design trends - it will not over-stretch, droop or tear on deeper and larger cakes and multi-tiered cakes
we're so confident you'll fall in love with Couture that it is the only sugarpaste with a Money Back Guarantee
Couture is 100% exclusive to Cake Stuff - no matter what anyone tells you, you cannot buy Couture from the manufacturer direct or from any national wholesaler nor can you buy the same product sold under a different name, but you can find it in a small number of highly select sugarcraft supplies shops, all of whom are Cake Stuff customers
PREPARATION - it is important to knead well before use to activate the gums for best performance - the ultra-fine icing sugar creates a 'dense' paste which, in cooler weather, may feel difficult to knead at first so if you find it a bit hard work you can warm slightly in a microwave (blitz for 10 seconds) prior to kneading
new sealed packs minimise the possibility of the paste forming a crust, so there's no longer any risk of little hard pieces of sugar being mixed in when kneaded
investment in massive state-of-the-art mixers means that we can now achieve excellent consistency between batches, in terms of texture, colour and flavour
increased volume means we can offer our customers a superb product made with the finest (and expensive!) ingredients for the same sort of price as they'd expect to pay for an everyday brand of sugarpaste
BULK PRICES - we no longer offer Price Breaks for buying more than 1 box of Couture at a time, but we have reduced the price for 1 box and we do offer additional discounts for busier cake makers so if you're in the habit of buying several more boxes at a time find out more about becoming a Cake Stuff Trade Customer
*Best Before Date - at least 3-4 months and normally much longer - current batches are BBE September 2020 at the earliest. In the beginning, Couture was produced with a 6 months BBE date to ensure it arrived with customers as fresh as possible but we carried out extensive testing on stock made 9-10 months ago and it performed perfectly, so we increased the BBE date to 9 months and we've now tested stock that's 12-13 months old so from now on BBE dates will be 12 months from date of manufacture. Nothing at all has changed with the recipe, it is purely the date that has been extended. Happy days!
