How long can the figures last to be displayed at home? Our polymer clay and air-dry clay products are completely sealed with a special coating and can be kept or used for many years, nearly forever under the good conditions. Alternatively you may also like to have your fondant figure being coated with quality topcoat such as resin, and polyurethane. This way, both clay and coated fondant can stay in an excellent condition for long. Uncoated fondant figures are subject to colour fading or deforming being exposed to the sun, heat, or moist, but they can be kept for many year as well under good conditions. What material works best for your figures ?
Fondant is a kind of sugar paste and edible (except a few non edible supporting materials inside for some cases) and scents are really nice and sweet. If you are after edible cake toppers, look no further. Fondant is your choice! How do fondant and clay figure look different?Other than the fact that fondant is the edible material while clay is for the keepsake, fondant toppers are rather large in volume, and a bit roundish, fatter and smooth on surface, while clay products carry stylish and rather sharp
y finish with more details, especially more precise drawing patterns. What coatings are available and how durable can the figures be? We have acrylic paint sealant for light protection, which are mainly applied on cake toppers and display figures. This option is not as protective as resin coating, though you can benefit from opting your most most suitable coatings as in Gloss, Satin and Matt finishes.
If your main purpose is for displaying, this is the perfect option. On the other hand, I resin coating is recommended for keychains and accessories that are mainly carried along or worn in daily settings. Resin is super protective, crystal clear, and highly glossy in finish, unless additional matt layer is applied on top.
Does a coating make any difference on product safety in shipping?
Uncoated fondant figures are at the highest risk of breakage as fondant are only made with sugar plus additives. However we are very confident in transporting coated figures. The products durability increase as well as coating can protect them from damaging of heat and moist during the transition. Besides if you plan to bring round your cake topper to your cakerie, to the venue and back home, its bette to have a figure coated to minimise the risk of any accidents as there would be many people handling it and its hard to inform them all how fragile it is.
