Hi! I am so new at this! I tried to make fondant, and when I rolled it on the table, it was glued on to the table!! It was a disaster! Can somebody help me?

Actually the powdered sugar in the supermarket is a 32 oz. bag or 2#'s opps- 2 pounds.

I just read on another blog to grease your hands (both sides of hands and in between fingers) well with shortening as well as the surface area. hope that helps!

Marshmallow fondant is something new to try, as I am an artsy-crafty person!

I love to make marshmallow fondant and I have added all sorts of flavorings which have been received with rave reviews. NOT hard to make at all and I tried several different fondant recipes before finding a marshamllow fondant recipe and now I would never try to make it any other way!

also, i actually spread crisco on the table and pur the melted mashmallows into the middle of the pile of powdered sugar and just turn and knead until it is the right consistency and then i use it right away. turns out perfect every time!

Hello!!! I am new at all of this but I have a question... Can you dye this recipe and if what do you use?
Comment by: JECakes (no discussions) on Sep 20, 2011 at 11:31 AM
@iheartcupcakes, yes, you can dye the recipe. I use the Wilton gel colors and apply a small amount with a toothpick until the color is where I want. You will have to knead the fondant to get the color spread.

Thank you for sharing this, as I have tried other recipes and were not satisfied. I dont care for the store bought fondant. I also agree that the different flavored extracts will enhance this fondant. I have a root beer extract I bought out of curiosity and really didnt know what to do with it. Now that I have a grandsons bday coming up, I know just how I will use this. Thanks again for sharing.

I saw a video about this yesterday. I'd like to learn to make it like candy stores do but this sounds more no-fail.

this is pretty close to the recipe I use. I dont wrap it with shortning but I use the shortning to grease the bowl. I also add 2 teaspoons of bakers buttered vanilla flavoring and EVERYONE loves it. oh and I use the 2 lb bag of powder sugar and the 16 oz bag of mini marshmallows not the 10 oz for anyone not sure on the sizes.

How does it taste? I have never tasted a good fondant. Do you put a crumb coat of frosting under it?
Comment by: JECakes (no discussions) on Sep 20, 2011 at 11:33 AM
It tastes like marshmellow, not a strong taste though but it's good and serves it's purpose. Yes, you will need to put a crumb coat around the cake.

I've bought store bought fondant and very chewing and gummy and very hard to work with but this one is very easy to roll out, its softer and tastes a lot better
Comment by: FusaeUsui (no discussions) on May 14, 2011 at 10:25 AM
My daughter is cake decorator makes her own fondant and will micro for a bit to soften to use when it hardens. She can store hers in fridge for later use and make it pliable by putting in mircrowave.

Very interesting. I will have to try that this week... :-)

This is the only kind of fondant that I use. I love it! Also, to turn the fondant into gumpaste, just add one or two egg whites to the mixture. You can eyeball it by how much mixture you have. They work great!!!!

you will need 2 pounds of powdered sugar 16 oz mini marshmellows and 2 to 5 TBLS water(I use 4) and 1/2 cup total of crisco, for table the fondant and your hands for kneading. it is enough for a 1/2 sheet.
Comment by: stinson (no discussions) on Jan 16, 2012 at 09:45 AM
what the gumpaste for? I'm very new at baking since I got married had to find a hobby, really like the different thing you can do with baking, getting ready to try this fondant. Also really do need to know about this gumpaste. Thanks
