If you love baking and cake decorating but are baffled by the choice of icings and pastes, the sugarcraft experts at Squires Kitchen have made things as simple as one, two, three.

Whether you're looking for a super-smooth cake covering, making novelty figures for a birthday cake or creating realistic sugar flowers for a wedding cake, Squires Kitchen are here to help you find out which paste is best suited to the job.

Three professional pastes for three unique uses

The One for sugar modelling

Introducing SK Modelling Paste – the ultimate, all-purpose, high-quality sugar modelling paste for making figures, simple flowers and cake toppers.

Stronger than sugarpaste, this specially formulated paste is non-sticky and dries firm, making it ideal to use for making cake decorations where you want it to hold its shape, dry hard and keep intricate detail.

Previously named Mexican Modelling Paste (MMP), SK Modelling Paste is perfect for making sugar models, simple hand-modelled flowers, garlands and plaques. It's also ideally suited for use with moulds, cutters and embossers, making SK Modelling Paste a cake kit essential!

Available in nine ready-to-use colours, it can also be coloured with SK paste food colours, dusted, surface painted and gilded.

'I use Squires Kitchen's Modelling Paste […] to make cute animals and figures, it is a versatile product which dries hard and can be coloured easily.' – Karen Taylor of Cakes by Karen

The One for flawless cake covering

Every cake decorator needs a high-quality sugarpaste in their kitchen that can be relied on to give consistently great results. When it's your business to create amazing cakes it's essential to get the basics right, which is why professional sugarcrafters choose Squires Kitchen ready-to-roll Fairtrade Sugarpaste.

Squires Kitchen ready-to-roll Fairtrade Sugarpaste gives you a flawless cake covering with a highly polished, soft and silky finish. It's also the only sugarpaste in the UK to be Fairtrade-certified. 

Squires Kitchen Fairtrade Sugarpaste is made using cane sugar grown by smallholder farmers in a number of countries and has a natural vanilla flavour for superior taste. This premium-quality rolled fondant is ready to use and available in a wide range of stunning colours.

'I have just used SK Sugarpaste for the first time and I have to say it [is] the best I have ever used… I would not hesitate to buy again.' – Caroline Horne (Auntycarol's Kitchen), Hertfordshire.

The One for sugar flowers

Now you have the ultimate modelling paste and ready-to-roll sugarpaste in your cake decorating kit, you need a paste for making super-fine, professional-standard sugar flowers.

When creating realistic sugar flowers and leaves, you need Squires Kitchen Sugar Florist Paste (SFP) – an ultra-fine, pliable flower paste which can be rolled paper-thin for a perfectly smooth finish.

Created by Squires Kitchen's founder over 25 years ago, SFP was the first patented, ready-mixed flower paste on the market and has been the professionals' choice ever since.

'I only ever use Squires Kitchen's Sugar Florist Paste (SFP). When you make as many sugar flowers as I do, you need products that won't let you down – trust me, this is the voice of experience! I can rely upon SFP to deliver consistently perfect results.' – Charlotte White of Restoration Cake 

Available in White and 20 floral-inspired colours, SFP is found in the sugarcraft kits of the world's leading cake designers who trust the brand to give great results, every time.

By using these three 'hero' products, you can be sure that you get the very best results every time you decorate a cake.
