Bakerpan White Gum Paste for Cake Decorating — 1 lb Vanilla, Rolls Paper-Thin & Dries Hard

Whether you're a hobby baker or a professional cake artist, this one-pound tub of white gum paste offers a dense, elastic medium that rolls paper-thin and sets with a firm finish. Made in the USA, Bakerpan's formulation is kosher pareve and free from gluten, nuts, dairy and trans fat, giving decorators a reliable, diet-friendly option for delicate sugar work. Use it alone for crisp petals or combined with fondant for reinforced structures and custom coloring.

How does Bakerpan gum paste perform for delicate sugar flowers?

This gum paste is formulated to be highly moldable and to stretch thin without tearing, making it ideal for realistic petals and leaves. It dries to a hard finish so shapes retain their edges and lifelike curves.

• Rolls paper-thin for natural-looking flower petals.
• Elastic texture reduces cracking when shaping veined details.
• Dries firm to preserve delicate petals and layered blossoms.

Can I color and combine it with fondant for stronger sculptures?

Yes—Bakerpan gum paste accepts concentrated gel or powdered food coloring for vivid hues and can be used alongside Bakerpan fondant to add internal strength. Combining a gum paste center with a fondant outer layer helps support larger toppers while keeping a smooth finish.

• Mixes evenly with gel colors for consistent shades.
• Use with fondant to reinforce figures and stacked pieces.
• Ideal for adding structural support to multi-tier decorations.

What techniques are best suited to this modeling paste?

Its dense, slightly tacky consistency makes it versatile for a range of decorating methods, from gum-paste veiners and petal dusting to sculpted figurines. Tools like veiners, ball tools and silicone molds work well to imprint texture and shape.

• Petal thinning and frilling for realistic blossoms.
• Molding and casting small figurines and bows with retained detail.
• Layering ruffles and swags that hold shape after drying.

How should I store and handle the paste for best results?

Keep the unopened tub in a cool, dry place away from direct heat. Once opened, wrap tightly or return to an airtight container to prevent drying; short periods in plastic wrap and a sealed bag help maintain workability.

• Store sealed at room temperature, away from sunlight.
• Wrap unused portions in plastic to avoid crusting.
• If too soft, allow a short rest to firm up before shaping; avoid adding excess cornstarch.

Who is this for? Bakerpan White Gum Paste suits cake decorators who need a dependable, diet-friendly modeling medium that holds fine details—home bakers creating special-occasion cakes, small-batch pastry studios crafting sugar flowers, and event bakers producing delicate toppers all benefit. Its compatibility with coloring and fondant makes it useful for anyone building intricate designs that require both finesse and structure.
