FAQ: frequently asked questions

What is the difference with Renshaw Extra Fondant?

Extra Fondant is firmer and more versatile (covering + modeling). Covering Paste is softer, specially optimized for covering large surfaces and tiered layer cakes. If you mainly do modeling and figurines, choose Extra. If you mostly do professional covering in large volumes, Covering is more practical.

How many cakes can you cover with 5 kg?

With 5 kg of covering paste, you can cover about 6-7 wedding cakes of 20 cm diameter (750 g each), or about 10 layer cakes of 15-18 cm. Add 20% margin for trimmings and tests.

Patissland tip for professional covering

For perfect covering in mass production: prepare several cakes masked with ganache in advance, refrigerate them well. Roll out the covering paste in 750 g portions (size of a 20 cm cake), one at a time, to prevent it from drying out. Keep the remaining paste in the airtight bag between uses. For tiered wedding cakes, cover each tier separately, let crust for 2 hours, then assemble with internal supports (dowels) to support the weight.
