Renshaw - Fondant
Renshaw Extra White Fondant 5 kg
professional size for consistent boutique production
Renshaw Extra White Fondant 5 kg is a ready-to-use fondant from the historic range of British brand Renshaw, a cake design reference since 1898. Its firm, elastic texture provides smooth covering and precise modeling, while its subtle vanilla flavor does not overpower the cake.
The 5 kg size is designed for a boutique business or bakery that covers several cakes each day, reducing the number of opened bags compared with smaller packages.

Instructions
- Preparation: take the fondant out 30 minutes before use to bring it to room temperature.
- Kneading: knead for a few minutes to soften it until smooth and uniform.
- Rolling: roll out on a work surface dusted with powdered sugar or cornstarch, never flour, to a thickness of 3 to 4 mm.
- Covering the cake: gently place it over the cake, previously coated with ganache or smoothed buttercream, then smooth with a fondant smoother.
- Trimming excess: cut away the excess at the base with a knife or cutter. Store scraps in an airtight plastic bag for reuse.
Technical information
| Ingredients | Sugar, glucose syrup, vegetable fats (palm, sunflower), water, humectant E422 (glycerol), thickener E466, flavoring. Composition may vary depending on the color; check the package label. |
| Allergens | May contain traces of tree nuts, peanuts, gluten, soy, and egg depending on production conditions. Check the label for allergens specific to each batch. |
| Storage | Store in an airtight plastic bag at room temperature (15 to 25 °C), away from light and heat. Do not refrigerate; moisture damages the texture. Keeps for several months unopened. If the fondant becomes slightly hard, add a few drops of food-grade glycerin and knead for 1 minute. |
Please note: once the 5 kg bag is opened, take out the required amount and reseal the remainder airtight to preserve the fondant's softness over time.
For even more intensive use, the range is available in 10 kg (store pickup only, no shipping). For a smaller occasional need, the 2.5 kg size is also available.
