Renshaw - Extra Sugar Paste
Renshaw Sugar Paste - Extra Chocolate Brown 1 kg
Renshaw Extra chocolate fondant, natural cocoa color and flavor, 1 kg.
Renshaw Extra Chocolate Brown Sugar Paste 1 kg stands out from the rest of the range: its brown color comes from alkalized cocoa powder, not synthetic coloring, for a true chocolate flavor as well as color.
Firm, elastic texture, just like the rest of the Extra range. It covers cakes without cracking and can be shaped into figures or decorations in chocolate, coffee, or burnt earth tones.

Instructions
- Tempering: Remove the paste 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 it. If it is still firm, microwave for 5 to 10 seconds.
- Rolling out: Dust the work surface with icing sugar or cornstarch, never flour. Roll out to a thickness of 3 to 4 mm.
- Application: Place the paste over the cake, already covered with smoothed, cold ganache or buttercream, then smooth the top before the sides.
- Finishing: Trim off the excess with a knife or pastry wheel, then smooth once more with a fondant smoother to remove air bubbles.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Does Renshaw brown really taste like chocolate?
Yes. Unlike the other shades in the range, which retain a neutral vanilla flavor, this product contains alkalized cocoa powder, giving it a true chocolate flavor as well as its brown color.
Can Renshaw chocolate brown be made darker or lighter?
Yes, use a brown or black gel food coloring to darken it, or a little Renshaw white to make a lighter chocolate beige. The cocoa flavor stays the same whatever shade you achieve.
Is this brown sugar paste suitable for people with nut allergies?
Like the rest of the range, it may contain traces of tree nuts depending on the production site. Always check the label on the batch you receive if a guest has a declared allergy.
