Cut into small pieces and knead firmly until warm and pliable. A tiny amount of vegetable fat on your hands can help. Work small amounts so the rest stays sealed. Is Saracino modelling paste the same as fondant? No. Modelling paste sets firmer and holds finer detail than covering fondant. Use it for flowers and figures; use fondant or sugarpaste for covering cakes.
