FAQs

What materials can I use with the foam halves?

The foam halves are suitable for use with sugarpaste, fondant, marzipan, modeling chocolate, and other soft, flexible materials.

How do I clean the foam halves?

Clean the foam halves with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before storing.

What size circle cutter should I use?

For smaller domes, we advise using approx. 60mm-70mm diameter round cutters.

Can I use this with different brands of sugarpaste?

Yes, but some sugarpastes roll thinner than others. The Carma Massa Ticino Sugarpaste is recommended as it's ideal for this product.

How many cupcake toppers can I make at once?

With a pack of 6 foam ball halves, you can create dome toppers for 6 cupcakes at once.

What's the best way to prevent the sugarpaste from sticking?

Lightly dust the foam halves with cornflour or use a non-stick work surface.

Are the foam halves durable?

Yes, they are designed to be reusable. Proper care and cleaning will ensure they last a long time.

Where can I find hints and tips?

Hints & tips are printed on the box.

Troubleshooting

Sugarpaste is sticking to the foam.

Lightly dust the foam halves with cornflour or use a non-stick work surface to prevent sticking.

Domes are not perfectly round.

Ensure the sugarpaste is evenly rolled and the circle cutter is the correct size (60-70mm recommended). Ensure the sugarpaste is centered on the foam half.

Sugarpaste is cracking after drying.

Use a sugarpaste known for its flexibility (like Carma Massa Ticino), roll it evenly, and make sure the drying environment is not too dry. Too thin of sugarpaste will also be more prone to cracking.
