About

Pastillage has existed since the 17th century, way before any other commercial sugar pastes were known. It is a pliable sugar paste similar to gum paste that can be moulded into different shapes and forms. When dried, it is hard and brittle. Unlike gum paste, pastillage dries much quicker and stronger. It can be rolled into a variety of thicknesses and cut into shapes to dry and join later. From all the different types of sugar pastes, Pastillage has the most reliable structural strength to achieve extremely high edible toppers and centrepieces.

About Yeners Pastillage

Pastillage had existed since the 17th century, way before any other commercial sugar pastes were known. It is a pliable sugar paste similar to gum paste that can be moulded into different shapes and forms. When dried, it is hard and brittle. Unlike gum paste, pastillage dries much quicker and stronger. Original pastillage made with gelatine, firm glucose, water and icing sugar, hardens quickly and can only be shaped or moulded for a short while by hand. If handled too long, the surface of the pastillage will begin to dry and crack. It can also be rolled into a variety of thicknesses and cut into shapes to dry and join later. Due to its challenging quick drying behaviour, it wasn't the most preferred medium by some cake decorators. On the other hand, it has the most reliable structural strength to achieve extremely high edible toppers and centrepieces.

Chef Serdar Yener has worked with Pastillage for over 40 years. In 2019, Serdar developed Yeners Pastillage. All cake artists expectations have been taken into consideration, and extensive research has been done to fine-tune the recipe and overcome the difficulties of common Pastillage. Yeners Pastillage is a hassle-free and user-friendly version of Pastillage, which allows cake artists to elevate their artistry to the next level. Make your cake dreams come true with Yeners Pastillage!

Yeners Pastillage now comes in two versions. A regular version and a concentrated version. The regular version already contains icing sugar so all that is needed to be added is water. The concentrated version required the addition of icing sugar and water. The concentrated version allows for lower shipping costs for the amount produced.
