Managing professional food decoration during the summer months or in countries with hot, humid climates requires solutions specifically formulated to withstand challenging environmental conditions.

When temperatures rise, sugar paste must adapt to the temperatures; therefore, Lesepidado developed Exotic paste to meet these challenges and ensure consistent performance in both artisanal laboratories and industrial pastry shops, while maintaining the structure and precision of the workmanship.

Working with pastes in summer: recommended recipes

• Exotic paste: this sugar paste was specifically developed for covering and modeling during the summer season or for foreign markets with hot climates. Thanks to its stable formulation, it ensures uniform application and superior resistance, eliminating the risk of tearing or warping.
• Velvet paste: characterized by a fine, velvety texture, this paste combines high elasticity with excellent heat resistance. It is suitable for both fully coating monumental cakes and creating molded decorations that must retain their shape over time. Simply add powdered sugar to make it drier and CMC Lesepidado to create structured shapes for artistic decorations.

Coloring and customization of decorative pastes

Both Exotic paste and Velvet paste are suitable for stable chromatic customizations, both in mass and on the surface. 

• Mass coloring: this is done using concentrated gel food coloring (Gel Color), formulated to integrate perfectly into the sugary mass without altering its consistency for spreading.

• Surface coloring: once the paste has been shaped or rolled out, it is possible to use a range of airbrushes, powders, tempera paints, or spray dyes to achieve environmentally-resistant matte, pearl, or metallic effects.

Certified safety and industrial standards

All the decorative pastes and food colorings of Lesepidado are entirely developed and realized within certified industrial facilities, in compliance with the international BRC and IFS standards. All the formulas are strictly gluten-free, assembled to meet both the technical needs of food industry professionals and the stringent regulatory requirements of global markets.
