Ready rolled icing

[drinkingwineoutofamug]

Does it exist???
I've battled against my marzipan , ended up warming it under my jumper (in its packet) to soften it.
I now have 1kg of ready to roll icing under my jumper.
Can you actually buy it already rolled out in a sheet? Like you can buy ready rolled pizza bases.
Im sure god is having a laugh at me atm

It definitely exists. I saw it a few days ago in Co-Op, it was Dr Oetker brand.

Sorry but yes it does!!!

Just been in . None . On route to town anyway as have dentist

Got some from Tesco. £3 a roll and some edible glue.

Yes, as does ready rolled marzipan...

You can but it's rubbish and awful to work with.

Well cakes are done . Thank you and merry Christmas everyone

Ready rolled icing is a waste of money. It doesn’t drape properly. It rips. It cracks. Seriously, don’t bother with it.

Your cakes are very cute!

Looks great! Another time you can soften it in the microwave. Obviously take it out of the foil packaging and give it short blasts on a lowish power. Would work with hard marzipan too.

Prof wedding cake maker here - I agree with @booksforever a quick blast in microwave for 30 seconds and knead for a good few minutes and should be good to go, bit of trex or cornflour/icing sugar on a smooth rolling surface (not too much or it will dry out the paste) - cakes look great OP - happy to answer any other questions

Yeah a few seconds in the microwave helps.

Those saying it cracks that's because you're not kneading it enough first.

You have to really work it to get it go from the dry cracking texture to a stretchy silky smooth texture - I spent a good 20 minutes at least on it!!

It's to do with getting it both warm but also re-activating the glucose or something?
