difference between sugar paste and covering paste

Hi,

In this weeks tutorial, Santa stuck in the Chimney. Paul uses White cover paste.

Is this different to sugar paste, and what is the difference apart from the price.?

Thanks. Jackie
Merry Christmas everyone.

Hi Jackie

I was wondering about this ages ago but the new tutorial has my curiosity going again. I’ve had a look at this explanation http://www.cake-stuff.com/sugarpaste-icing-c-34.html still really non the wiser except one is of professional quality and the other not. I only use the supermarket brands for covering cake boards, I find them sugary and cloying so wouldn’t use it for any other purpose than said or for making models. Regal Ice is definitely a higher quality but for me Satin Ice for handling and flavour is my preference. Perhaps we’ll get some more clarity from other members. Merry Christmas to you.
