Recommended applications
- St. Patrick's Day cake design: shamrock cakes for the March 17 celebrations.
- Jungle decorations: safari and dinosaur birthday themes for children's parties.
- Botanical wedding cakes: weddings featuring eucalyptus foliage and ferns.
- Christmas decorations: fir trees, holly branches, and traditional wreaths.
- Easter celebrations: rabbits in the grass and flower baskets for spring celebrations.
Instructions
- Conditioning: remove the fondant from its packaging 15 to 30 minutes before use so that 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 icing sugar or cornstarch, never flour. Roll out to a thickness of 3 to 4 mm.
- Applying: place the fondant over a cake already covered with ganache or smooth, chilled buttercream, then smooth the top before the sides.
- Finishing: trim the excess with a knife or rolling cutter, 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 green fondant is needed for a jungle-themed cake?
Allow 500 g for an 18–20 cm diameter cake, and 1 kg for 25–28 cm. Add a 20% margin for cutting foliage and raised decorations.
Does Renshaw Green require a warning for children?
No. The colorants used (E160a, E153, E133) are not included on the list of synthetic colorants in Annex III of the European regulations that require a specific statement, unlike certain reds and yellows.
How can I achieve a darker fir green from this shade?
Knead in a forest-green gel color or a touch of black to darken it gradually: start with a small amount, as the base shade intensifies quickly during kneading.
