- Kneading: knead for a few minutes to soften, until you get a smooth and even texture.
- Rolling out: roll out on a work surface dusted with icing sugar or cornstarch (never flour), to a thickness of 3-4 mm.
- Applying to the cake: gently place on the cake previously covered with smoothed ganache or buttercream. Smooth with a fondant smoother.

Storage
Store unused fondant in an airtight plastic bag at room temperature (15-25 °C), away from direct light and heat sources. Do not refrigerate (moisture damages the texture). Shelf life: several months in an airtight bag. If the fondant hardens, add a few drops of glycerin and knead for 1 minute.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Renshaw Extra and Renshaw Pro ranges?
Renshaw Extra is the brand's classic range, in a traditional format for cake covering and modeling. The Renshaw Pro range offers a more refined designer color palette (Latte, Blush Peach, Duck Egg Blue, Dusky Lavender, Atlantic Blue, etc.) for professional cake designers who want signature shades. Both ranges have the same quality of texture and elasticity.
How much fondant is needed to cover a cake?
For a round cake 15 cm in diameter and 10 cm high, allow 500 g of fondant. For 20 cm diameter, allow 750 g. For 25 cm diameter, allow 1 kg. For a tiered wedding cake, add quantities per tier plus 20% extra for scraps.
How to avoid fondant cracking?
Cracks usually come from 3 causes: 1) fondant rolled too thin (aim for at least 4 mm), 2) fondant dried out due to lack of moisture (add a few drops of glycerin and knead), 3) cake masking layer too thick causing tension. Work on a well-chilled cake straight from the fridge, with a smooth, cold ganache layer.
Can fondant scraps be stored?
Yes, keep scraps in an airtight plastic bag at room temperature, away from light. Fondant keeps for several months without quality loss. If it hardens slightly over time, add 1-2 drops of glycerin and knead for 1 minute to restore original softness.
Patissland Tip for Emerald Green Fondant
For a perfect covering: coat the cake with cold ganache or stabilized buttercream (never pastry cream which makes it soggy), refrigerate for 30 minutes to set the layer. Roll out the fondant to at least 4 mm (never less, or it will crack). For a 20 cm diameter cake, allow 750 g of fondant. If the fondant dries during work, add 1-2 drops of food-grade glycerin and knead for 1 minute to restore softness.
