Renshaw Fondant - Ruby Red 250 g
Renshaw fondant, Ruby Red color, 250 g size for covering cakes and modeling
Renshaw Ruby Red Fondant 250 g is a ready-to-use fondant by British brand Renshaw, a cake design benchmark since 1898. Its firm, elastic texture is ideal for smooth cake covering and precise modeling, and its color comes from naturally sourced colorings.
Renshaw Ruby Red is a deep, velvety red made using anthocyanins and beta-carotene, with no synthetic azo dyes. Its color remains saturated even when rolled out thinly, an advantage for large red cake-covering surfaces that tend to look washed out with other fondants. The 250 g size is suitable for a decoration or a color accent on a cake.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
What is the difference between Renshaw Extra and Renshaw Pro sugar paste?
Renshaw Extra is the original range in classic shades. Renshaw Pro offers a more refined designer palette for professional cake designers. Ruby Red has the same firm, elastic texture as both ranges.
How much sugar paste is needed to cover a cake?
For a round cake 15 cm in diameter and 10 cm high, allow 500 g. For 20 cm, allow 750 g. For 25 cm, allow 1 kg. For a tiered cake, add the quantities for each tier, allowing an extra 20%.
Does ruby red contain a colouring that requires a warning for children?
No: ruby red is coloured with anthocyanins (E163) and beta-carotene (E160a), two colourings of natural origin that are not on the EU Annex III list requiring a warning about activity and attention in children.
