Coloured Sugar Paste

Hi
I have some coloured sugar paste from almost a year ago and wondered if it would be ok to use to cover a cake drum. If so would I need to sit the base cake on a silver card so as to avoid any contact with the iced drum given the fact the sugar paste is quite old. It has been carefully stored in a cool cupboard all wrapped up in cling film and in a plastic bag.

Thanks very much. x

Hi bells cake

Your cake should sit on a cake card as a norm, so yes if you keep the cake on a card it will be fine to use your paste. Take a look at the expiry date, you might be pleasantly surprised to find it’s not as old as you think it is. x
