7kg Original White Massa Ticino sugar paste from Massa Ticino

NOT CURRENTLY STOCKED - PLEASE READ WHY . . . due to a recent price increase from Carma, Massa Ticino Original is now actually more expensive than Tropic and as most customers prefer Tropic anyway, we're probably going to discontinue the Original.  If you are a fan of Massa Original and really want us to continue stocking it, please contact us and let us know - we always value your feedback

IF OUT OF STOCK please see the more popular Massa Ticino Tropic

PLEASE NOTE this is Massa Ticino Original and is a different to both Massa Ticino Tropic and Massa Ticino Bride White

considered by many as the ultimate sugarpaste . . .

• 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
• 50 years later Carma have launched nine new colours - all created from natural origins, so they are free from the AZO dyes and any animal derived products
• still made in Switzerland to an exacting recipe, Massa Ticino offers outstanding workability. It is a perfect choice for covering cakes due to its high elasticity it will not rip, crack or form elephant skin whilst being used, and will smooth to a perfect finish and dries to a crisp shell
• a few regular customers have advised us that this original Massa Ticino feels quite different to Massa Ticino Tropic - some customers report it dry and almost crumbly while others say it can feel sticky in warm weather - so if you haven't tried this original version before maybe try our sugarpaste sample pack first before buying a 7kg tub?
• PLEASE NOTE that Massa Ticino Original is a different product to both Massa Ticino Tropic and Massa Ticino Bride White
• as with any top quality product, Massa Ticino is more expensive than other brands and there's not a lot we can do with the price, but Cake Stuff are committed to offering our customers the best possible prices in the UK
• TOP TIP - love Massa Ticino but find it very expensive? Yes, so do most customers which is why many now mix it 50:50 with white Couture - the resulting sugarpaste is exceptional but saves you over 25% on the cost of using 100% Massa Ticino
• don't be put off by the price - we have hundreds of customers who simply will not use any other sugarpaste after switching to Massa - many claim it is no more expensive than other brands because (1) you can roll very thinly so actually use a lot less and (2) its performance avoids re-covering due to tears, elephant skin etc
• suitable for both covering and modelling
• IMPORTANT - this is the original Massa Ticino - please make sure you are ordering the correct version
• we also stock Massa Ticino Tropic, which was developed for warmer climates and many of our customers feel Tropic is the better version - it's personal taste so, as always, we're happy to give our customers the choice
• supplied in resealable plastic bucket - sugarpaste is sealed in an inner plastic bag
• bucket measures approx 9" / 23cm diameter including handles x 8" / 20.5cm with handle in folded position as in photo
• Massa is a superb sugar paste but at £6 per kilo it's not cheap; so you may want to at least consider Couture as an alternative - Couture works out at HALF the cost of Massa - free sample available if you haven't tried it yet !
• BULK TRADE PRICES - we no longer offer Price Breaks for buying more than 1 pail of this product at a time, but we've reduced the price for buying just 1 and we do offer additional discounts for busier cake makers - find out more about becoming a Cake Stuff Trade Customer
