Instructions
- Tempering: Remove the fondant from its packaging 15 to 30 minutes before use to bring it to 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 cornstarch, never flour. Roll out to a thickness of 3 to 4 mm.
- Application: place the icing over the cake, already covered with smoothed and chilled ganache or buttercream, then smooth the top before the sides.
- Finishing: cut 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 tips
How much green fondant icing do I need for a jungle-themed cake?
Allow 500 g for an 18-20 cm diameter cake, 1 kg for 25-28 cm. Add a 20% margin for cutting out foliage and raised decorations.
Does Renshaw green require a warning for children?
No. The colorants used (E160a, E153, E133) are not on the list of synthetic colorants in European Annex III that require a specific warning, unlike certain reds and yellows.
How can I get a darker pine green from this shade?
Knead in forest green gel coloring or a touch of black to gradually darken it: start with a small amount, as the base shade intensifies quickly with kneading.
