Instructions
- 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 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.
- Covering: place the fondant over a cake already covered with ganache or smooth, cold buttercream, then smooth the top before the sides.
- Finishing: trim 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
How much pink fondant do you need for a baby shower cake?
Allow 500 g for an 18-20 cm diameter cake, 1 kg for 25-28 cm. Allow an extra 20% for cakes over 10 cm tall.
Does Renshaw pink darken over time?
E163 (anthocyanins) is a natural colorant that is slightly sensitive to direct light: store the sugarpaste away from light to preserve a stable shade over time.
How can I achieve a deeper fuchsia pink from this shade?
Knead in a concentrated fuchsia pink gel color in small amounts: the dusty pink base of this product provides a foundation, and the shade gradually intensifies without affecting the texture.
