Instructions for use
- Bringing to temperature: remove the fondant from its packaging 15 to 30 minutes before use so it reaches 18 to 22 °C.
- Kneading: knead for 1 to 2 minutes to soften. If it remains firm, microwave for 5 to 10 seconds.
- Rolling out: dust the work surface with icing sugar or cornflour, never flour. Roll out to a thickness of 3 to 4 mm.
- Covering: place the fondant over a cake already coated with ganache or smooth, chilled buttercream, then smooth the top before the sides.
- Finishing: trim the excess with a knife or pastry wheel, then smooth once more with a smoother to remove air bubbles.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
How much white fondant do I need to cover a cake?
Allow approximately 250 g for a 12-15 cm diameter, 500 g for 18-22 cm, 1 kg for 25-28 cm and 1.5 kg for 30-35 cm. Allow for an extra 20% beyond 10 cm in height.
How can I get a pastel color from Renshaw white?
Knead in a little concentrated gel coloring at a time rather than adding a lot at once: Renshaw Extra white colors evenly and gradually. Let the fondant rest for 12 hours under plastic wrap to stabilize the color before use.
Is Renshaw Extra white suitable for vegetarian and halal diets?
Yes. Renshaw Extra white fondant is suitable for vegetarian diets; if required for your use, check the halal certification directly on the packaging you receive, as the composition may be subject to specific checks depending on the production site.
