Renshaw Pro Sugar Paste - Dark Brown 250 g
Renshaw Pro sugar paste in dark brown, 250 g format for professional cake design
Renshaw Pro Dark Brown 250 g Sugar Paste is a ready-to-use sugar paste from the British brand Renshaw, a reference in cake design since 1898. Its firm, elastic texture provides smooth coverage and precise modeling of fine details.
Renshaw Pro dark brown is a rich, deep brown, darker and more stable when rolled out than most browns obtained by manually mixing food colorings, avoiding lighter areas on large covered surfaces such as trunks, bark, and wooden elements. The 250 g format is suitable for modeling details and small decorative elements.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Renshaw Extra and Renshaw Pro sugar paste?
Renshaw Extra is the established range in classic colors. Renshaw Pro offers a more refined designer palette for professional cake designers. The texture and elasticity are identical in 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.
Why does Renshaw Pro dark brown carry a children's warning while teddy bear brown does not?
The two browns are produced differently: dark brown uses E129, which appears on Annex III of the EU list with a children's warning, while teddy bear brown is colored with caramelized sugar syrup without synthetic coloring. Choose teddy bear brown if you want to avoid all Annex III colorings.
