Ready-to-Use Black Icing 400 g
A ready-to-pipe colored icing that hardens as it dries.
Renshaw ready-to-use black icing can be used straight from the tub, with no preparation or food coloring required: piping, stencil decoration, or covering cookies and small cakes. The color is uniform as soon as the tub is opened.
Once dry, it hardens for a firm, clean finish. The 400 g tub covers the borders and details of several cakes: graphic outlines, lettering, and Halloween decorations.
Key Features
Uses
- Piping: borders, lettering, dots, and decorative details.
- Stenciling: crisp designs spread with a spatula over fondant or cookies.
- Covering: topping shortbread cookies and small cakes.
- Themes: graphic outlines, lettering, and Halloween decorations.
Patissland tip: for a crisp stencil design, spread the icing in a single pass with an offset spatula, then lift the stencil vertically before the surface begins to crust.
