Well I have made two cakes this week and used Carma Massa and …. sorry but I am rather underwhelmed. Both cakes were two tiered and on both occasions when I covered the first one, the sugarpaste felt very sticky and tacky making it difficult to smooth. It was weird because when I covered the second tier, the paste was much more manageable and went on like a dream.
Positives; I did use less, it smelled and tasted lovely, the finish was good, however, my usual sugarpaste always works a dream, smells/tastes good, gives a fantastic finish and works out at £3 per kg compared to £7 per kg for CM. Glad I gave it a go as I feel very happy with my “go to” paste and the £ stay in my pocket. I know that this is always a very personal preference, but happy that my favourite is the one I usually use.
