Our principle is to keep things simple. If you can’t pronounce the ingredients used on a consumable product, don’t eat it! We don’t use any artificial preservatives, flavorings or hardening agents.

Sugar Petals® ingredients for its royal icing contains Confectioner’s Sugar, Egg White and FD & Certified Food Colors including Yellow #5 & 6. For pastillage icing, again we use Confectioner’s Sugar, Gelatin and FD & Certified Food Colors including Yellow #5 & 6.

Pastillage decorations adorn this 18th Birthday cake

Pastillage, as the French would have it, is pronounced “pas-ti-ya-j”. This icing is a dough similar to the well known gum paste however more palatable because it omits the use of the ingredient, gum tragacanth. It is used to make edible decorations as seen in our product line.

Decorate with us!

Our New Site

Vicky Francisco — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 14:50:22 +0000

Welcome to our new site.

If you think our site seems a bit different today, you’re right. Actually, you’re looking at the latest, greatest incarnation of sugarpetals-usa.com. As much as we enjoyed the old, comfortable site it was getting a little worn around the edges. So, we tucked it away replaced it with this brand spanking new site.

Although many design elements (logo, overall color scheme, etc.) of this new version are similar to our previous site, this new site boasts a number of improvements. However, like all sites, this is a work in progress and we expect our share of growing pains. We welcome your feedback.

Pastillage Tips

Pastillage Tips:

Pastillage dries very quickly, so be sure to keep unused portions wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and work with a small amount at a time.
Pastillage can be colored with powdered food dye by either adding color to the liquid before mixing or by kneading the desired color into the dough. Do not use water-based dye. You can also use alcohol-based dye to paint the surface of your pastillage figure.
Knead in cornstarch as necessary.
Allow 12-24 hours for your pastillage pieces to dry completely before handling (more if humid.)
Use royal icing as glue to attach your pastillage pieces to each other or to other objects (cakes, gingerbread houses,…). Other options are to thin out some pastillage with a little water or to heat up regular pastillage in the microwave for just 10-15 seconds (careful – this dries especially fast.)
