Smartflex Velvet Almond is a popular coating and modeling material suitable for both home and professional confectionery creation. Thanks to its soft, flexible and pliable consistency, it is easy to work with, roll out and transfer to the cake. It adheres well to the surface, does not tear when coating and allows you to create a clean and smooth result.
You can use the mixture to cover cakes of various sizes and to model figures, flowers and other edible decorations. It holds its shape well, which is why it is also suitable for higher or more complex models. It has a white color and a pleasant, slightly almond taste and aroma.
Fondant includes cream with a low water content (e.g. butter cream, butter and flour mash cream, butter pudding cream or ganache). Whipped creams with mascarpone, cottage cheese, sour cream or yoghurt are not suitable, as fondant masses contain sugar, which, in combination with the water contained in the aforementioned ingredients, will cause the coating to start to dissolve and the liquid to flow out around the perimeter of the cake.
Usage: Cut off the required amount of fondant and work until it is soft and elastic. If the fondant has a stiffer consistency, you can heat it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds. Roll out the fondant to a sheet about 4 mm thick. To prevent it from sticking, you can sprinkle it with powdered sugar or starch. The size of the fondant sheet should be slightly larger than the diameter of the cake + the height of the cake. There are three ways to transfer the fondant to the cake. Either pick up the sheet with your hands, or roll it onto a rolling pin, or roll it out on thick plastic or a silicone mat, lift it by the base, turn it onto the prepared body and then remove the plastic or silicone. Finally, smooth it with pastry irons and cut off the excess fondant.
