Recommended uses
- Signature wedding cakes: classic covering for bohemian, romantic, and minimalist weddings.
- Base for coloring: neutral starting point for achieving every shade in the palette with concentrated gel food coloring.

- Minimalist number cakes: covered numbers and letters for minimalist-style birthday celebrations.
- Cake toppers and figurines: modeling characters and signature decorations on a white base.
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: 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 ganache or smooth, chilled buttercream, then smooth the top before the sides.
- Finishing: trim the excess with a knife or rolling cutter, then smooth once more with a fondant smoother to remove air bubbles.
Store at room temperature (15 to 22 °C), in its original airtight packaging, away from light and heat. Do not refrigerate: moisture causes the paste to sweat and become sticky on the surface. Once opened, wrap the remainder in plastic wrap, place it in an airtight container, and use within 2 to 3 weeks.

Frequently asked questions
How much white sugar paste is needed to cover a cake?
Allow approximately 250 g for a 12-15 cm diameter cake, 500 g for 18-22 cm, 1 kg for 25-28 cm, and 1.5 kg for 30-35 cm. Allow 20% extra beyond 10 cm in height.
How can you achieve a pastel color from Renshaw white?
Knead in a small amount of concentrated gel food coloring at a time rather than adding a lot all at once: Renshaw Extra white colors evenly and gradually. Let the paste rest for 12 hours under plastic wrap to stabilize the color before use.
Is Renshaw Extra white suitable for vegetarian and halal diets?
Yes. Renshaw Extra white fondant is suitable for vegetarian diets; check the halal certification directly on the packaging received if your use requires it, as the composition may be subject to specific verification depending on the production site.
