Colour Mill - Fondant
1 kg Red Fondant
1 kg size for full coverage in a bold red
Colour Mill Red Fondant 1 kg is a ready-to-use, professional-quality fondant, coloured throughout for a bold, opaque red and an even finish across the entire cake. Soft texture and controlled elasticity make it easy to roll out cleanly without cracking or tearing.
1 kg size, designed for full coverage: enough to cover a 20 to 25 cm diameter layer cake with some extra. Easy to work with without sticking excessively to the work surface, and retains its properties for several weeks after opening if sealed properly.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Is the 1 kg size enough to cover a two-tier cake?
For a two-tier cake, we recommend two 1 kg packs or one 4 kg pack, depending on the total diameter to be covered.
Is this red fondant handled differently in the larger size?
No, the instructions are the same; you’ll just need to knead a larger amount, so make sure you have a sufficiently large work surface.
Can I use the leftover fondant from this pack for modelling?
Yes, wrap any unused fondant and store it in an airtight container for modelling or a future project.
