Renshaw - Extra Sugar Paste

Warm ivory shade from the Renshaw range, a soft alternative to pure white, 1 kg.
Renshaw Ivory Sugar Paste 1 kg offers a cream shade that is slightly warmer than pure white, without turning distinctly yellow. Firm, elastic texture from the Extra range for smooth covering and precise modeling.

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 remains firm, microwave for 5 to 10 seconds.
- Rolling out: dust the work surface with powdered sugar or cornstarch, never flour. Roll out to a thickness of 3 to 4 mm.
- Covering: place the paste over the cake, already coated with smoothed, 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 advice
How much ivory sugar paste do you need for a wedding cake?
Allow 750 g for a 20 cm diameter cake, and 1 kg for 25-28 cm. For a tiered cake, add the requirements for each tier, with a 20% margin.
What is the difference between Renshaw ivory and white?
Ivory is a warmer cream shade than pure white, achieved through a slight recipe adjustment rather than a prominent colorant. White remains the most neutral shade and the easiest to recolor afterward.
Does Renshaw ivory contain a declared synthetic colorant?
The supplier does not provide a specific E-number for this cream shade, so we have not listed one here as a precaution. Check the label on the package you receive, which should be followed in case of doubt or allergy.
