Renshaw Jet Black Ready to Roll Fondant Icing, 250 g (Pack of 1)

So easy to use, smooth, soft, easy to roll and the colour is stable and throughout the whole block not patchy at all. I was making my sons wedding cake and he only eats devil food cake with chocolate fudge icing so I needed a chocolate coloured fondant to cover the cake, this was perfect, I used a small amount of the filling on the outside of the cake so the fondant was able to stick to the cake and it worked really well. If you want to use this fondant to model flowers or figures it is a little soft when worked so keeping it cool once formed is helpful until it naturally dries and can hold the shape you want. I used 2 250g packets to cover an 8inch round cake, this amount gave a good coverage with barely any waste, what is left has been saved to make a couple of small figures or a couple flowers. Although the fondant is quite soft it is not sticky making it wonderful to work with, I have used a lot of fondant icing over the years and this is by far the smoothest I have ever used. As for the value it isn't overpriced but also not the cheapest but the quality makes it fantastic value for the money. I could only find the 250g packs but larger packs would be better for larger cakes but the packs do combine really nicely. I can recommend this fondant icing for your needs

I was really pleased with this Renshaw fondant icing. It was incredibly easy to work with straight out of the pack—soft, smooth, and truly “just roll with it” as the name suggests. I didn’t need to knead it much, and it rolled out evenly without cracking or sticking. The texture is perfect for covering cakes and creating simple decorations. It gives a clean, professional-looking finish, which is great for both beginners and more experienced bakers. The white colour is bright and neutral, making it ideal for colouring if needed. Taste-wise, it’s pleasantly sweet without being overpowering, and it complements cakes well rather than dominating the flavour. Overall, this is a reliable, high-quality fondant that saves time and effort. I would definitely repurchase it and recommend it for birthday cakes, cupcakes, and special occasions.

Great colour looking forward to using it for halloween

Looks good rolls easily taste nice however if you roll one packet it only covers the top of the cake not the sides I had to put ganache all around the sides and chocolate shavings and chocolate hundreds and thousands too hide the fact that it did not cover it it was a nightmare so if you're gonna buy it make sure you buy quantity 2 or you won't cover your cake I even tried to roll it thinly but all it then does is rip because it was too thin and is very difficult to pick up. I would definitely buy again but next time I would buy 2

Perfect fondant icing for all celebration cakes and cookie toppers. Versatile easy to use , would definitely recommend.

I’ve never used fondant for modelling before but wanted to create some skulls for my boyfriend’s birthday cake and previously failed with chocolate as it kept melting!! And soooo messy This was so easy?! I just put some cornstarch in the mould so it didn’t stick, popped it in the freezer for 30 mins and it popped out sooo easily!! I think it looks great

Quality consistent with a premium brand

I’ve bought several colours of Renshaw icing over time, including white, blue, yellow, red and black, mainly for making my son’s and daughter’s birthday cakes. I’ve used Renshaw before and although I have one particular niggle with it, I continue to buy it because overall I’ve found it better than other brands I’ve tried. It’s soft and really easy to knead and roll out. There’s also a good variety of colours available and I’ve been pleased with the shades I’ve used. It tastes nice too and I don’t find it overly sweet. I’ve previously used it to cover entire cakes, although I find that it can stretch a little too easily, so these days I tend to prefer it for modelling and making decorations. My biggest issue with it is that it doesn’t seem to dry particularly well when I’m modelling with it. Even without adding any water, I’ve found it can become quite damp and moist-looking. If I add colouring to it, it can become very sticky and almost gooey, which makes it more difficult to work with. I’m certainly not a professional baker; I make birthday cakes because my kids love having one made especially for them ; so I’m reviewing it from that perspective. Despite the issue I’ve mentioned, I still come back to Renshaw because I like the colours, it’s easy to work with initially and I haven’t found another readily available option that I prefer overall. I’d probably buy it again, although I’d particularly like to see the issue with it becoming damp and sticky improved.

Muy buena calidad. Fácil de moldear. Para cubrir una tarta grande harían falta dos paquetes. Que yo mo supe calcularlo y por si alguien tiene dudas. Pero la pasta es perfecta
