Carma Massa Ticino

I have heard so many good things about this product that I am going to take the plunge and try it out, despite it being a bit pricey. I called the supplier and they advised me that 95% of their customers prefer the “tropic” version, even when not using in humid conditions. They told me that most people complain that the ordinary version is rock hard out of the tub and difficult to work with. What has been others’ experience? Thanks all.

Hi Roo’s! I’ve used Massa Ticino from a couple of years and It is really the best brand for cake decorating (for me)
I thing there’s no much difference between normal and Tropic but I always use Tropic
You are going to love it
good luck!

I’m agree with Karla…i also use Massa Ticino Tropic and don’t want back to the other brand :) It’s very good and easy to work

Thanks ladies, have ordered the tropic and very excited about trying it out. Christine, windsor cake craft have just started stocking it and standard uk post is free. You can also get from town and country fine foods, but minimum spend is £80 and can only order over the phone.

I’ve been curious about Massa Ticino as well, so happy you raised the topic. I can’t seem to find Australian stockists so have looked on ebay and it is quite expensive. Let us know what difference it makes to your cakes :)

I’ve used both and definitely prefer the tropic version, the other was sticky and rock hard! You’ll love it : )

Glad it is finally available over here at a reasonable price. Would take my cakes to a whole new level. I’m currently using Culpitt sugarpaste, which works suprisingly well considering the price, but it really doesn’t like being coloured (basically turns into Renshaw). Does the Carma Massa Ticino still have the same great quality after colouring?
