Cheaper fondant

[BeeKeyPlayer]

Sugar has gone down in price and maybe some wholesalers need to shift some of their stock. 12.5k blocks from BFP @£13.25 till the end of this week. It keeps.

How long will it keep?

I don't know but I've used stuff I've stored for two years and it was fine.

Any idea on delivery cost?

Edit. Just noticed free shipping on £250 so min order of 19 boxes!

I saw that too but no option seems available for smaller amounts deapite the statement that delivery cost was calculated at checkout - you couldn't get to the checkout!!

The basket was funny if you changed basket quantities but when I refreshed the page it works.

Don't rush to buy unless you need it...word from my contacts in the trade are that it will likely be significantly cheaper still come new year.

On the subject of shelf life...keep it sealed in the boxes in a dry place and its indefinite. One of these products where a Best Before date is actually meaningless and just an indication of how fresh it is.

Yes, and keep it cold to make cutting easy. When warm it slumps and clings to the cutting tool and is a faff.

In a thread a while ago Murray recommended using a spade to chop it; I stick with a bread knife. Rory Fields had a job to cut a load with a bad back: I reckon that if boxes were chilled enough, a chop saw might work.

Useful to know- already ordered but didn't go as overboard as usual. Mine arrived earlier today, only ordered yesterday.

A butchers cleaver with a decent board underneath might be handy.

With £15 for delivery it is cheaper to buy elsewhere I'm afraid. £28.25 all in with them and £24.75 all in on Ebay....

I just put the slap on the edge of a 2” slab of PIR then as you cut the section you are cutting peels away onto a piece of cling film. I think I put a video of me doing it on line once.
