Renshaw Pro Sugarpaste - Dark Brown 250 g
Renshaw Pro sugarpaste, dark brown, 250 g, for professional cake design
Renshaw Pro Dark Brown Sugarpaste 250 g is a ready-to-use sugarpaste by the British brand Renshaw, a cake design staple since 1898. Its firm, elastic texture allows for smooth covering and precise modeling of fine details.
Renshaw Pro Dark Brown is a rich, deep brown, darker and more color-stable when rolled out than most browns made by manually mixing colors, preventing lighter patches on large covered surfaces (tree trunks, bark, wooden elements). The 250 g size is suitable for modeling details and small decorations.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
What is the difference between Renshaw Extra and Renshaw Pro fondant?
Renshaw Extra is the established range in classic shades. Renshaw Pro offers a more refined designer palette for professional cake decorators. The two ranges have the same texture and elasticity.
How much fondant 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 amounts for each tier and allow an extra 20%.
Why does Renshaw Pro dark brown carry a warning for children, while teddy bear brown does not?
The two browns are made differently: dark brown uses the E129 colorant, which is on the EU Annex III list and carries a warning for children, while teddy bear brown is colored with caramelized sugar syrup, without synthetic coloring. Choose teddy bear if you want to avoid all Annex III colorants.
