Renshaw - Fondant icing
Renshaw Extra White Fondant Icing 5 kg
professional size for regular shop production
Renshaw Extra White 5 kg fondant icing is a ready-to-use fondant from the British brand Renshaw's historic range, a cake design benchmark since 1898. Its firm, elastic texture provides a smooth covering and precise modelling, with a subtle vanilla flavour that does not overpower the cake.
The 5 kg size is designed for a shop or bakery that covers several cakes every day, reducing the number of packets opened compared with smaller sizes.

Instructions
- Preparation: take the fondant out 30 minutes before use to bring it to room temperature.

- Rolling out: roll out on a work surface dusted with icing sugar or cornstarch, never flour, to a thickness of 3 to 4 mm.
- Apply to the cake: gently place on the cake, previously covered with smooth ganache or buttercream, then smooth with a fondant smoother.
- Trim the excess: trim the excess from the base with a knife or craft knife. Store the scraps in an airtight plastic bag for reuse.
