Recommended applications
- Ocean cake design: mermaid, beach, wave, and sailboat themes for summer birthdays.
- Boys' birthdays: vehicle, superhero, firefighter, and police-themed parties.
- Maritime wedding cakes: seaside weddings with a navy and white palette.
- Family ceremonies: ceremony cakes in a simple, elegant blue and white palette.
- Winter decorations: snow-covered landscape-style cakes in an ice and silver palette.
Instructions
- Tempering: remove the fondant from its packaging 15 to 30 minutes before use so it reaches 18 to 22 °C.
- Kneading: knead for 1 to 2 minutes to soften it. If it remains firm, microwave it for 5 to 10 seconds.
- Rolling: dust the work surface with powdered sugar or corn starch, never flour. Roll out to a thickness of 3 to 4 mm.
- Application: place the fondant on a cake already covered with ganache or smooth, chilled buttercream, then smooth the top before the sides.
- Finishing: cut off the excess with a knife or pastry wheel, then smooth once more with a fondant smoother to remove air bubbles.
Store at room temperature (15 to 22 °C), in its original airtight packaging, away from light and heat. Do not refrigerate: moisture causes the fondant to sweat and become sticky on the surface. Once opened, wrap the remainder in plastic wrap, place it in an airtight container, and use within 2 to 3 weeks.

Frequently asked questions
How much blue fondant should I plan for a tiered wedding cake?

How can I darken or lighten Renshaw blue?
Knead in navy-blue gel coloring to darken it, or a little Renshaw white to lighten it to a pastel shade. Let it rest for 12 hours under plastic wrap to stabilize the color before use.
Does Renshaw blue coloring require a warning for children?
No. E133 and E163 are not included on the list of synthetic colors in Annex III of the European regulations that require a specific statement, unlike certain reds and yellows.
