Renshaw - Fondant
Renshaw Extra White Fondant 2.5 kg
neutral white base for consistent workshop production
Renshaw Extra White Fondant 2.5 kg is a ready-to-use fondant from the historic range of British brand Renshaw, a cake design benchmark since 1898. Its firm, elastic texture provides smooth covering and precise modeling, with a subtle vanilla flavor that does not overpower the cake.
White is the neutral base color of cake design, serving equally well as-is or as a starting point for every shade. The 2.5 kg format suits an independent workshop covering several cakes each week.

Recommended occasions and uses

Instructions
- Preparation: take the fondant out 30 minutes before use to bring it to room temperature.
- Kneading: knead for a few minutes to soften it until smooth and uniform.
- Rolling: roll out on a work surface dusted with powdered sugar or cornstarch, never flour, to a thickness of 3 to 4 mm.
- Covering the cake: carefully place it over a cake previously coated with ganache or smoothed buttercream, then smooth with a fondant smoother.
- Trimming excess: cut off the excess at the base with a knife or cutter. Keep scraps in an airtight plastic bag for reuse.
Technical information
| Ingredients | Sugar, glucose syrup, vegetable fats (palm, sunflower), water, humectant E422 (glycerol), thickener E466, flavoring. Composition may vary by shade; check the package label. |
| Allergens | May contain traces of tree nuts, peanuts, gluten, soy, and egg depending on production conditions. Check the label for allergens specific to each batch. |
| Storage | Keep in an airtight plastic bag at room temperature (15 to 25 °C), away from light and heat. Do not refrigerate; moisture damages the texture. Keeps for several months unopened. If the fondant hardens slightly, add a few drops of food-grade glycerin and knead for 1 minute. |
Please note: the 2.5 kg format is designed for regular but moderate production, several cakes per week. For higher volumes or a retail business, the 5 kg format reduces the number of packages to open.
Keep the bag tightly sealed between uses to preserve the softness of the remaining fondant.
Frequently asked questions
Is this format suitable for a workshop starting regular production?
Yes, 2.5 kg is a good balance for a workshop covering several cakes per week without yet reaching retail production volumes. Beyond that, the 5 kg format becomes more convenient.
Can this white fondant be colored easily?
Yes, Renshaw fondant kneads well with oil-based or water-soluble food colors. Add the color gradually and knead until you achieve an even shade without streaks.
How much fondant is needed for a tiered wedding cake?
Allow approximately 750 g for a 20 cm diameter tier and 1 kg for 25 cm. For a multi-tiered cake, add the quantities for each tier and include an additional 15 to 20% allowance for scraps.
