Rolled Fondant

People talking
This is a great tasting fondant that is very easy and cheap to make. It is much more cost effective than buying Wilton fondant and it tastes great too. I got this recipe from cakecentral.com. You can flavor this to taste like whatever you want, if using extracts use 1tsp of flavoring; if using candy flavorings (which are VERY concentrated) use no more than 4 drops of flavoring. Glycerin can be found in the cake decorating isle at your local craft store. If you do not have a container of gelatin you can purchase a box and use a single packet of gelatin.

Having worked with commercial Fondant for the past 4 years I find this Foundant tasting to much like powdered sugar even though i added a flavoring, the sugar over powered the flavoring . As I was was reading the recipe that called for glycerin , it never tell's you when to add this ingredient , I added mine to the luiqid prior to putting it in the sugar. After it turning out dry I added shortening and made it more plyable and am waiting the 24 hour sitting time and also seeing if this dries out like wilton or if its going to be more plyable like fondarific . I am making a Race Car Cake with lots of detail , I will post pictures of it when its done as well as the results of how this recipe turned out air brushing and coloring.Reply

This was my first time trying fondant and i was very happy to have found this recipe. This was tasty and easy to make. I used more Icing sugar than what the recipe called for. i found rolling the fondant out between sheets of parchmant was the only way to prevent my rolling pin from sticking to the sugary mass. Thank you for posting this recipe, i will be using it again and again.Reply
