Ever since I showed you our weird and wonderful shocking pink cake (What do you mean you haven't seen it ? You need to get over here right now !)and mentioned "edible Playdough", lots of you have been asking me where you can get your hands on it. Edible Playdough is actually just my name for it, it's really sugar dough and you can buy it from cake decorating shops or online. Here's some more information about it from Squires (which is the brand that we used on our manic cake, but don't hold that against them !).

Sugar Dough Made With Natural Colours
Sugar Dough is perfect for all your cake decorating projects and is now available in a range made with natural colours.
Sugar Dough is available in a range of 12 vibrant natural colours ideal for covering cakes, cookies and for all modelled figures where you require the piece to hold its shape and dry quickly but remain soft enough to eat when served.
What's more, Sugar Dough is non-sticky which is great for little hands. It's tasty, too, making it the ideal medium for modelling homemade treats with your children.
Squires Kitchen has also created a range of tools specifically for Sugar Dough modelling as well as books to give you ideas for novelty modelling such as Sugar Dough Magic by Maisie Parrish, Children's Character Cakes by Debbie Brown, Bob the Builder Celebration Cakes and Squires Kitchen's Guide to Making Sugar Animals by Jan Clement-May.
10p from every pack sold will be donated to Giving Africa, registered charity no. 1136275. Visit http://www.givingafrica.org/ to see the amazing school project that is underway in Burkina Faso.

If you give it a go, I'd love to see your creations but in the meantime, here are a few photos to give you inspiration - don't expect it to come out looking like this if you're letting your mini bakers do the decorating though !

ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of using SK sugar dough on my son's birthday cake but want to know what it tastes like! Can you recommend it for taste as well as usability?
ReplyDeleteMany thanks!
It tastes very sweet but it's nice enough, like the icing you get on shop bought character cakes really
