250g BLUE sugar paste from Mona Lisa

• Mona Lisa is a multi-purpose sugarpaste made by Massa Ticino
• we're always honest with our customers so we have to say it's not as good as Massa Ticino branded sugarpaste
• the clue is in the name . . . this is Massa's multi-purpose everyday sugarpaste icing
• softer than original Massa - easy to use straight from the pack
• work with it for longer before drying - giving you time to sort out any little imperfections
• Mona Lisa is still good but doesn't give you quite the level of flawless finish you get with Massa
• Carma was founded in Switzerland in 1931 by Carl Maentler – a Swiss guy with a sweet tooth! Carma first developed their Massa Ticino sugarpaste in 1963 and it quickly earned a reputation for being one of the world’s best sugar pastes
• but quality is never cheap and Massa is just about the most expensive sugarpaste on the market so, 50 years later, Carma have launched Mona Lisa as a less expensive everyday icing
• slightly different recipe (eg Xanthan Gum instead of Gum Tragacanth) allows them to offer a lower price
• great for covering cakes due to high elasticity - Mona Lisa is unlikely to tear or crack
• smooths to a nice finish, with no dreaded elephant skin
• can be used for general modelling and with moulds - add some tylo powder as required
• approx 250g - just over ½ lb
• larger 1kg packs also available offering even better value
• larger 7kg tub of Massa Ticino Tropic also available
