Renshaw - Extra Fondant
Renshaw Fondant - Extra Choco Brown 1 kg
Renshaw Extra chocolate fondant, with natural cocoa color and flavor, 1 kg.
The 1 kg Renshaw Extra Choco Brown Fondant stands out from the rest of the range: its brown color comes from alkalized cocoa powder rather than a synthetic colorant, providing a genuine chocolate flavor in addition to the color.
With the same firm and elastic texture as the rest of the Extra range, it covers cakes without cracking and can be shaped into chocolate-, coffee-, or burnt-earth-toned figurines and decorations.

Recommended applications
- Chocolate cake design: ganache drip cakes, dark chocolate layer cakes, signature pastries.
- Modeling dark-colored animals: bears, brown horses, and wild boars for nature-themed birthdays.

- Vintage cake design: coffee- or Parisian brasserie-themed cakes.
- Chic Halloween decorations: an alternative to black in a burnt-earth palette for a softer look.
Instructions for use
- 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 for 5 to 10 seconds.
- Rolling: 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 over a cake already coated with ganache or smoothed, chilled buttercream, then smooth the top before the sides.
- Finishing: trim 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
Does Renshaw brown really taste like chocolate?
Yes. Unlike the other shades in the range, which retain a neutral vanilla flavor, this product contains alkalized cocoa powder, providing a genuine chocolate flavor in addition to the brown color.
Can Renshaw chocolate brown be darkened or lightened?
Yes, use brown or black gel coloring to darken it, or a little Renshaw white fondant to create a lighter chocolate beige. The cocoa flavor remains the same regardless of the shade obtained.
Is this brown fondant suitable for people with tree-nut allergies?
Like the rest of the range, it may contain traces of tree nuts depending on the production site. Always check the label of the batch received if a guest has a declared allergy.
