Renshaw Sugar Paste - Ruby Red 250 g
Renshaw sugar paste, ruby red shade, 250 g format for cake covering and modeling
Renshaw Ruby Red Sugar Paste 250 g is a ready-to-use sugar paste from the British brand Renshaw, a leading name in cake design since 1898. Its firm, elastic texture provides a smooth covering and precise modeling, with coloring obtained from naturally derived colorants.
Renshaw ruby red is a deep, velvety red made from anthocyanins and beta-carotene, without synthetic azo colorants: the shade retains its saturation even when rolled into a thin layer, an advantage for large red covering surfaces that tend to look faded with other pastes. The 250 g format is suitable for a decorative detail or a splash of color on a cake.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Renshaw Extra and Renshaw Pro sugar paste?
Renshaw Extra is the classic range in traditional shades. Renshaw Pro offers a more refined designer palette for professional cake designers. Ruby Red has the same firm, elastic texture as both ranges.
How much sugar paste is needed to cover a cake?
For a round cake 15 cm in diameter and 10 cm high, allow 500 g. For 20 cm, allow 750 g. For 25 cm, allow 1 kg. For a tiered cake, add the quantities for each tier and include a 20% margin.
Does ruby red contain a colorant requiring a child warning?
No: ruby red is colored with anthocyanins (E163) and beta-carotene (E160a), two naturally derived colorants that do not appear on the EU Annex III list requiring a warning about children's activity and attention.
