Irca Soft White Fondant - 7 KG Professional Bulk Pail

Irca Soft White Fondant (Fondant Morbido) is a premium, versatile confectioner’s sugar paste crafted with the legendary Italian expertise of Irca, established in 1919. This is not a rolled fondant for covering cakes, but rather a pouring fondant—specifically formulated to provide a brilliant, snowy-white glaze for eclairs, cream puffs, napoleons, and donuts. Its ultra-fine sugar crystal structure ensures a silky-smooth mouthfeel and a high-gloss finish that remains stable without becoming overly brittle.

Designed for high-output pastry kitchens, Irca’s formula is prized for its ability to take on flavors and colors while maintaining its structural integrity. As a Canadian seller based in Calgary, Alberta, we provide these authentic Italian essentials with fast shipping across Canada to support your professional pastry production.

BEST FOR: Glazing eclairs and petit fours, dipping donuts, flavoring for candy centers, and icing mille-feuille.

ALLERGEN NOTE: GLUTEN-FREE. MAY CONTAIN TRACES OF MILK AND NUTS.

Why It Works

• Exceptional Gloss & Whiteness: Provides a professional, high-shine finish that stays bright white, providing the perfect canvas for colors or chocolate drizzles.

• Superior Workability: Melts down to a fluid, dipping consistency at low temperatures (approx. 35°C–40°C), preventing the loss of shine that occurs with overheating.

• Non-Sticky Finish: Sets to a firm, dry-to-the-touch surface that doesn't "weep" or become tacky in refrigerated display cases.

• Flavor Versatility: The neutral, sweet profile easily integrates with fruit purees, coffee extracts, or cocoa to create customized glazes.

• Ultra-Fine Texture: Developed with micro-crystalline sugar technology to ensure there is zero grittiness on the palate.

Use Cases

• Classic Patisseries: The industry-standard choice for glazing traditional chocolate or coffee eclairs with a perfectly smooth, even coat.

• Artisanal Bakeries: Use as a stable, high-quality base for dipping gourmet donuts, allowing for a clean finish that holds toppings well.

• Confectionery: Whip with butter or flavorings to create "fondant cream" centers for hand-dipped chocolates and pralines.

• High-Volume Catering: Utilize the 7 KG bulk format to efficiently glaze hundreds of petit fours or mini-tarts for large-scale events.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I prepare this fondant for dipping?

Heat the required amount in a double boiler or microwave to approximately 35°C–40°C. If it is too thick, you can add a tiny amount of simple syrup or water (drop by drop) until the desired fluidity is reached.

Can I freeze cakes or eclairs glazed with this fondant?

Yes, Irca Soft Fondant is freeze-thaw stable; however, for the best gloss, it is recommended to glaze items closer to the time of service.

Is this the same as the fondant used to cover wedding cakes?

No. This is "Soft Fondant" meant for melting and pouring/dipping. For covering cakes, you would require "Rolled Fondant."

Can I color this fondant?

Absolutely. Use water-based food coloring or concentrated gel colors to achieve vibrant results without breaking the emulsion.
