Instructions

- Kneading: knead for 1 to 2 minutes to soften. If it is still firm, microwave for 5 to 10 seconds.
- Rolling out: dust the work surface with powdered sugar or cornstarch, never flour. Roll out to a thickness of 3 to 4 mm.
- Applying: place the fondant on the cake, already covered with smoothed and chilled ganache or buttercream, then smooth the top before the sides.
- Finishing: trim off the excess with a knife or pastry wheel, then smooth once more with a smoother to remove air bubbles.

Your questions, our advice
How much blue fondant should I allow for a tiered wedding cake?

How can I darken or lighten Renshaw blue?
Knead in navy-blue gel colorant to darken, or a little Renshaw white to lighten to a pastel shade. Leave to rest under cling film for 12 hours to stabilize the shade before use.
