Black Ready-to-Use Icing 400 g
Ready-to-pipe coloured icing that sets as it dries.
Renshaw Black Ready-to-Use Icing can be used straight from the tub, with no preparation or food colouring needed: for piping, stencilling, or covering biscuits or small cakes. The colour is consistent from the moment you open it.
Once dry, it sets to a firm, crisp finish. The 400 g tub is enough for borders and details on several cakes: graphic outlines, lettering and Halloween decorations.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Do you need to thin the icing before piping?
It's ready to use. For a thinner coating on biscuits, add a few drops of water and mix until you reach the desired consistency.
How long does it take to harden?
Allow a few hours in the open air for the surface to dry to the touch, and overnight for thick decorations to dry completely.
Can several colours be mixed?
Yes, the icings in the range can be mixed together to create intermediate shades.
