Thanks Janette,

You can stick sugarpaste cutouts to a cake with a dab of water or rose water.
For larger decorations or sticking models together I would use royal icing or watered down sugarpaste.

What a fantastic source of information!!I have been asked to make a cake for someone with a nut allergy – I normally use Squires edible glue but notice the label states it may contain traces of nut. Any alternatives? It’s for modelling but also gluing decorations to the cake (top and sides). Thanks

Hi Gemma

Thanks for that. I’m wanting to make an In the Night Garden cake so the colours are very bold and I think I would need to use sugarpaste to create the characters. I may just have to go with it but not eat the icing myself.

Thanks again
Sam

HI,
I only know of liquid natural colours. These wouldn’t be suitable for colouring sugarpaste as it will make the paste sticky but they will work fine in buttercream or royal icing. You will find them in whole food shops. Dr Oetker also produce natural liquid colours but I haven’t seen them anywhere yet?

Hi Gemma

It’s my daughter’s 1st Birthday in a couple of weeks and I’d really like to make her a special cake. Though I don’t intend to give her any of it, I would like it to be bright and colourful. However, I am still breastfeeding and really nervous about using colouring as she had an awful reaction following my gorging on cakes at halloween! I’ve tried googling to get info on ways of colouring icing naturally but have just ended up confused. Please can you offer any help?

Many thanks
