What's the difference between icing, sugarpaste and fondant?

Sugarpaste and fondant are the same thing. However, all the different icing names can be mind-boggling. Luckily, we've created a guide: What's the difference between sugar paste, modelling paste, and flower paste? to help you choose the correct icing for your baking project.

What tools do I need to work with sugarpaste?

If you're serious about creating beautiful creations with sugarpaste, you need the right tools for the job. Here are some of the essential tools you may need:

• Sugarpaste rolling pin: Choose a non-stick rolling pin made of plastic so you can roll it to an even thickness without it sticking. 
• Sugarpaste smoother/ polisher: This flat, hand-held tool helps smooth sugarpaste on a cake for a flawless finish and eliminates bubbles. 
• Sugarpaste cutter: Similar to a pizza cutter, this wheel or knife tool allows you to make clean and precise cuts when trimming sugarpaste icing. 
• Modelling tools: These come in various shapes and sizes with different ends for veining, adding detail, sculpting, softening and shaping. 
• Cutters, moulds, texture mats & impression tools: You can also get moulds and cutters that press out shapes like flowers, stars or letters for uniform shapes with intricate moulded detail. 
• Rolling mat: If your sugarpaste sticks to your surface, you might benefit from a non-stick silicone mat and keep your icing free of lint. 
• Small brushed: Cake brushes are always useful for applying edible paint, glue or water to decorate sugarpaste creations and stick them to the cake.
