Renshaw Pro Modelling Paste 180g

Smooth, with a soft, pliable texture, Renshaw’s versatile Modelling Paste is easy to handle, can be rolled thinly, dries quickly when you’ve finished creating your works of art, and holds its shape brilliantly when set. Once dried, the models, figures and flowers will still be soft enough to eat, so guests won’t damage their teeth if they can’t resist nibbling your cake decorations.

Modelling Paste

Made with a little cocoa butter to improve elasticity and help keep it pliable for longer while you’re working it into shape, it has a lovely vanilla aroma and can be coloured before you start sculpting or airbrushed afterwards to create professional-looking models or figures. Renshaw’s Modelling Paste can be hand modelled, pressed into moulds, embossers and formers, or rolled out for use with cutters – it’s perfect for creating intricate shapes and can be used for flowers too. It sets firmly, which makes it great for assembling small components.

Made in the United Kingdom, it’s suitable for vegetarians, and it’s Kosher and Halal approved.

How to Use

Cut off the amount of paste you think you’ll require, warm it in your hands and knead until it’s soft enough to roll or model into the shapes you have planned, from flowers to figures. If you require a firmer texture, allow the paste to cool for a few minutes. Can be used with Rainbow Dust products including Pro gel, lustres and other edible dusts.

Hints and Tips

• Finished flowers or models should be stored in a cool, dry place.
• Allow finished decorations to set for 24 hours.
• When flowers are dry, brushing the ‘petals’ with coloured Edible Silk lustres can help to make them look more realistic.
• Ensure cut out shapes are protected under plastic or clingfilm to prevent them from drying out, until you’re ready for them to set.
• Always keep unused paste well wrapped in an airtight container.
• Store in a cool dry place away from light. Do not refrigerate.
