sugar paste

In all, the body of the cake was covered with 60kg of sugar paste.

In 1847, a Boston pharmacist named Oliver Chase invented a machine that would stamp out medicinal versions from sugar paste.

Like the New Orleans version, it’s a large ring of sweet bread with dried fruit and sugar paste on top and a baby figurine baked inside.

My favorite is the sugar paste, because it reminds me of the topping on a concha, a Mexican sweet bread roll.

With an assistant, they baked about 12,000 loaves, many painted with a white sugar paste and decorated with edible skeletal figurines.
