How to Make Fondant | Allrecipes

[@allrecipes]

Thank you for your question. There are different ways to make fondant, and this is just one of them. We do have a recipe for Marhsmallow Fondant on our site.

[@allrecipes]

Thank you for your questions! You can use any food-safe coloring to add to this fondant. We'd recommend adding the color, a few drops at a time, together with the confectioners' sugar. Enjoy!

[@allrecipes]

Thank you for your question, Ingrid Hadassah Faeldonia. The best way to store fondant is to wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in a plastic bag to keep it from drying out. Fondant can be stored for 2 months in an airtight container. Do not refrigerate or freeze fondant. This can add moisture and make it weep. Any leftover fondant may be rolled into a ball or log shape, coated with a thin film of white vegetable shortening, wrapped in plastic wrap, and then placed in an airtight container. Enjoy your classes!

[@ingridhadassahfaeldonia9755]

thank you very much :) . God Bless

[@joanschlotman9805]

Recipe said you should put it in the fridge. Thanks for the tip. I won't refrigerate mine.

[@jovanadaniell440]

Allrecipes is fondant edible or just for looks.

[@allrecipes]

Hi Mama Cass, thanks for your question. You can try substituting with butter, lard or margarine.

[@allrecipes]

Hi thanks for your question! A lot of Allrecipes members have had luck omitting it or substituting it with vegetable oil. Give this a try and let us know how it turns out for you :)

[@allrecipes]

Thank you for your request, Hannah. We have several recipes for apple fritters on our site. We'll add your video request to our list.

[@allrecipes]

Hi there, thanks for your questions! If you are having trouble finding gelatin, you could try a speciality baking/cooking store or try ordering it online! This recipe is best if just plain, unflavored gelatin is used. Hope this helps :)

[@allrecipes]

Great question, Charmaine. This recipe makes enough to cover a 10-inch round cake, 4 inches high.

[@bornstar20]

I use to work as a cake decorator love doing that job so this brings back memories thanks so much for this please never stop uploading videos♥

[@allrecipes]

Thank you for your question. Several Allrecipes members reported using butter instead of shortening with great results. Good luck!

[@JokerFan27299]

seeing this as a sculpting artist, it's basically edible food clay! this is amazing! ^^

[@loszi13]

Changed directions stirring! Never seen before by a real cook!!!!!

[@allrecipes]

Hi, Ingrid Hadassah Faeldonia - Glad to have your question! There are several ways to make fondant look shiny. You might rub your hands with vegetable shortening and gently smooth your fingers over the fondant, or brush a light coating of vegetable oil over the surface to create a shiny look. Some cooks apply a very thin coating of nonstick cooking spray to the fondant, Another option is brushing luster dust over the fondant for a sheen. This requires using even brush strokes and a small amount of dust so it doesn't look uneven. If you want the whole cake to look shiny, pop it into the refrigerator for a few hours. Moisture will collect on the fondant giving it a soft sheen.

[@ingridhadassahfaeldonia9755]

tnx a lot :)

[@jozeltinaja6088]

So how's the taste of fondant?i think it is so hard to eat the finish product?never try it!😂

[@allrecipes]

Thanks for your question. Some allrecipes members have had luck substituting the glycerin for corn syrup or vegetable oil. Enjoy :)

[@gracegsb7919]

Can you please lists the ingredients for me

[@allrecipes]

Thank you for your question, Jennifer John. Shortening is a variety of fat used in baking. Try using vegetable shortening for this recipe or butter-flavored. You can also use regular butter. Enjoy!

[@javarianawaz703]

Allrecipes hi can i use butter or magrin instead of shorting?

[@ma.cristinefudotan3549]

Is glucose and corn syrup the same?

[@allrecipes]

Thank you for your request. We have provided the link to the recipe in the description part of the video - you'll find all ingredients, measurements and directions there. Enjoy!

[@allrecipes]

Thank you for your question, Raquel. Many of our members used corn syrup instead of glycerine. Let us know how it works for you!

[@allrecipes]

Thanks for your question, Mj Cajegas (RelaxAndPlayDota). Fondant is best used immediately once prepared since it dries out quickly. However, since this isn't always possible, keep it from drying out by rolling it into a ball or log shape, coat it with a thin film of white vegetable shortening, and then wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in a plastic bag until needed. Any unused fondant may be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 months. (DO NOT refrigerate or freeze fondant.) You will need to knead it again to make it soft and pliable before rolling it out.

[@saadiaashrif2904]

All recipes what is shortening anyway

[@allrecipes]

Thanks for your question. Saadoa Ashrif. Shortening is a solid fat derived either from plant or animal sources. Shortening derived from animals comes from lard, while shortening made from plants undergo a chemical process known as hydrogenation to make it solid saturated fat. Shortening has many purposes in cooking. In baking, shortening is used with pastries, pie crusts and biscuits to make them flaky. It is also used in frying or deep-frying as a liquid.

[@honeybee595]

Is it the same glycerine which we get from pharmacy

[@yogacentre8315]

Gelatin amount?

[@CCS390]

Did you cover cake with it?

[@foodbeverageproductionbd9155]

Plz sent recipe share with me?

[@allrecipes]

You can try using butter in place of shortening for this recipe.

[@allrecipes]

You'd be better off making a fondant recipe that calls for butter, Crepper Junior. Here's an alternative recipe using butter and miniature marshmallows: allrecipes.com/Recipe/Marshmallow-Fondant/Detail.aspx

[@allrecipes]

Thank you for your question, Sarah. You can use honey if you'd like. Enjoy.

[@allrecipes]

You could try this with honey, some Allrecipes members have had luck with that substitution.

[@pushpab8603]

Ok thanks for the recipe 👍

[@allrecipes]

Thank you for your question. We'd recommend Marshmallow Fondant recipe on our site. Enjoy!

[@salomegomes4600]

Thank you so much for the vidoe. Its the easiest and best fondant recipe I've found. Just one question. How many grams of fondant does the recipe make?

[@wannabite]

i have always been leary of fondant,because it never turned out right.i am very pleased to know have someone to help and guide me through it.thank you so much for sharing your video with us today.

[@Techtwin2]

Using clear vanilla just insures that the colors are more pure. :) It is especially important if you want white.

[@allrecipes]

Welcome!

[@allrecipes]

Thank you for your question, Jay. It's really best to use confectioners' sugar in this recipe to make sure it incorporates properly with the rest of the ingredients and to give the fondant a very smooth texture. You can try grounding regular table sugar to a fine consistency. Let us know how that works out for you!

[@allrecipes]

Thank you for your question. You can purchase glycerin at a pharmacy, drug store, or a craft store.

[@Smarglenargle]

Hm.... So my local grocer didn't have any gelatin but I saw that my local hardware store had it. I didn't know where I can find the glucouse syrup so I made my own with some stuff lying around. I was bought some nitroglycerin from this guy outside the hardware store, i think its an offbrand or something. I got home and started to follow the tutorial to make fondant but instead the police busted in and said i was kneading c4 instead of fondant or something, whatever that is. I need you guys to contact the police and tell them im innocent.

[@nathandeneault5778]

+Arkey lmmfao!!!!!! I thought "glycerin" I was like.. okay.. and this is to be fed to people.. wtf man?!

[@isabelleb.6983]

I made this recipe and I used something called corn syprup instead of glucose syrup.

[@kirztellaotero8087]

+Isabelle Barker did it turn out well?

[@fwipfwopcondition2842]

Glucose syrup huh... just boil water and add lots of sugar! There~ it’s glucose like and edible :’) I was shook when you said glycerin lmao

[@adamchurvis1]

@@fwipfwopcondition2842 That has nothing whatsoever to do with glucose syrup. You are describing sucrose syrup. One can use corn syrup, which is almost entirely glucose, though often it is a little thinner than proper glucose syrup and contains other flavors like salt and vanilla to fool one's palate into thinking the syrup has a higher brix.

[@allrecipes]

Thank you! Try using honey instead. Confectioner's sugar is a finely ground sugar that looks like powder. Enjoy.

[@chickynugget459]

Am I the only one who doesn’t know what half this stuff is and is gonna but some fondant from the store???? Just me ok

[@ayeshasaddiqa9662]

Me too 😂

[@samridhichauhan5749]

I made it today and it turn out super! I used corn syrup instead of glucose syrup. Thank you for the recipe.

[@user-xi1je6po3v]

How are You doing and how is Your weather condition Over there?

[@inr4ever06]

Thanks so much for this recipe!! I am excited about trying this

[@allrecipes]

Adding color to the fondant happens as soon as it's kneaded together, brittney morris. Use paste or gel food coloring for best results because it will mix in more smoothly than liquid drops. Add just a tiny bit at a time. (Some home cooks recommend using a cocktail stick to add the color--but don't put the stick back into the coloring.) It will look "streaky" at first, and then blend together evenly as you knead it.

[@s_hxjinur]

Marshmallow fondant: glycerine marshmallows water icingsugar Melt your mrshmallows and glycerin Once melted add your water and icing sugar little by Little. Sprinkle some icing sugar on your work board and dunk out your fondant Need your fondant until fondonat like. , ENJOY!!!!!!!!

Is the marshmallow fondant stretchy will it break easy?

No. I want fondant from my childhood not marshmallow.. 🙅

[@allrecipes]

Great question! Gelatin activates best when mixed with cold water first.

[@maykristinesantos363]

What do u mean by cold water..is it cold water from the fridge?

[@allrecipes]

Thank you for your question. You can use butter instead of shortening in this recipe. Enjoy!

[@kamusta_kamyg482]

Where do they expect us to find this this was a good video but where do you glycost syrup

[@Andy-in8ej]

The shop you silly bastard.

[@michaelsev.8042]

Thank you for the no marshmallow recipe. Will eventually try the marshmallow version. I did find Glycerine and Glucose at Bulk Barn and Michaels (crafting store) here in Alberta Canada ($4.49 for 59ml (2 fl.oz) glycerine) . I didn't buy the Glucose as I am using corn syrup instead (many comments noted as alternative). Seeing as my attempt will be 99% Black with some Grey (Batman Lego figure for 9th bday), I don't need to worry about purchasing the clear liquids. Paying near $10 or more for a small container that may not be enough needed wasn't worth it to me. And I like challenging myself to try new things. Next big step is vertical cakes (Last year was Monster truck cake).

[@mr.dahliaking.202]

Can I use butter or margarine instead of vegetable shortening, because in Lithuania I don't have that stuff, Will it work?

[@allrecipes]

Hi, Vytautas Poška - We recommend using a different fondant recipe, one that uses butter or margarine instead of vegetable shortening. Here are three recipes we hope will work. (Can you buy marshmallows in Lithuania?): allrecipes.com/recipe/228519/cake-fondant/ allrecipes.com/recipe/191275/marshmallow-fondant/ allrecipes.com/recipe/228520/fondant-for-chocolate-cherries/

Yes, I can buy marshmallows in Lithuania, Thank you very much! :)

[@yin9647]

u can also replace shotening with coconut oil. I find that it works fine in most recipes, sooo

[@kgirl4265]

hello what if i dont have chutney whatelse can i use also my vanila extract isnt a clear one

I like how you make the fontdant from scratch

[@parbinsultana6520]

Thank u for this video 😀😀

[@jenniferj0hn]

This recipe is amazing but I have to ask what is a shortening?

[@kyanlte]

Jennifer John I know this was 3 years ago, but just in case you're still wondering, if you're American, Crisco is a type of shortening

[@MegaReKey]

You can use butter or Oil as substitute.

[@CarlosGonzalez-kk1vh]

Fat.....its fat.....but to be specific it refers to fats solid at room temp so technically (butter is seldom reffered) but even bacon grease can be used as shortening

[@fitthickchic6732]

It's a vegetable oil that's solid at room temperature. Butter may work, but it has a lower melting point than shortening.

[@maryamalz9238]

My best video in you tube is all recipes thanx all recipes

This i got to try. i am always having BIG BIG issues with my fondant. while trying to cover the cake its always cracks and tears. Makes me MAD

If you get a midnight fondant craving then you might be out of luck. But if you are planning to make a cake for an event it wouldn’t be unusual to go buy the ingredients.

[@anuchawla3570]

what's shortening

[@neeeeeeelllllll]

anu Chawla dalda or banaspati

[@sakura2974]

to put it simply, it's animal fat. Coconut oil might be a better alternative because it feels like it has a similar density and texture and is much healthier but coconut oil is very flavourful and might clash with what you're making.

[@isabelacontreras8804]

Butter

[@allrecipes]

Thanks for your question, anu Chawla. Butter and shortening are different fats. Butter and lard are animal fats, but shortening is a solid fat derived either from plant or animal sources. Typically, animal shortening -- or lard -- is fat rendered and clarified from various parts of pigs, while shortening made from plants undergoes a chemical process known as hydrogenation to make it a solid saturated substance. Vegetable-based shortening has no flavor and is what most cooks use. Shortening has many purposes in cooking. In baking, shortening is used with pastries, pie crusts and biscuits to make them flaky. It is also used in frying or deep-frying as a liquid.

[@aiwang3234]

thank you so much for a wonderful recipe,my son had his second birthday today and i made him a beautiful cake,tried your fondant recipe and i somehow manage to work on it,it's my first time to make fondant and the only concern i have is as to why does it's breaking away i mean i knead it good enough but it's still wont become elastic,and it's still a bit sticky making it hard to roll out,and have to do it again and again,i have to pop it in the microwave for a few seconds to make it a little bit softer to roll out easily and i cover the entire counter with a cling wrap to avoid sticking but somehow it became easier to put over the entire thing on the cake having to just only grab the cling wrap from the table, and flip it over the cake and viola! it's all covered.i just can't give up on it and it's do or die to me...now can you please tell me where have i gone wrong with the entire thing making the fondant?ofcourse dont get mad,they dont have shortening here in our country,i used butter,and also they dont have glycerin, i only used glucose syrup,gelatin,vanilla,water,and butter plus the powder sugar.is it because of not using proper ingredients?i just want to know because i love baking cakes for the family and i will be doing it again anytime soon with the holidays are approaching,i need to know where have i gone wrong so i could do it right next time...thank you for taking your time reading..i just want to share my experience.and need an answer..i love your recipes..

[@allrecipes]

We're so glad to read you persevered and the fondant worked out for you, jhoriel taruc. Hooray! Fondant is tricky and changing the ingredients does make a difference, but we'll try to help with your questions. Using butter instead of shortening is the biggest challenge, but you made it work, and what you're doing is right. To help with ingredient amounts, here is an alternative fondant recipe using butter (allrecipes.com/recipe/228519/cake-fondant/), and here are a few tips (although they refer to shortening not butter): -- Before kneading the fondant, divide it into several chunks and add a spoonful of shortening and a spoonful of glycerin to soften it and make it smoother and more pliable. The shortening will also help the fondant be less sticky. Note that using too much corn starch and powdered sugar can dry out fondant. -- Dust the work surface with a bit of cornstarch so that the fondant won't stick. -- Some people prefer to use oil or shortening to grease the work surface. -- Always cover the fondant in plastic wrap or zipped bag so it won't dry out. -- It is always best to let fondant rest for a few hours or even overnight before using it. -- If the fondant cracks when it’s rolled out, use solid vegetable shortening and smooth the cracked area together, using a circular motion with your fingers. Don’t use water because it will break down the fondant. This article from Allrecipes also has tips: dish.allrecipes.com/fondant-its-a-lot-easier-than-you-think/

[@tanniasasha]

The only ingredient I have here is water wow 🤣

[@allrecipes]

Hi Super Hani, you can subsitute gelatin with agar if your prefer. Usually 2 teaspoons of agar for every 1/4 ounce of powdered gelatin.

[@GertrudeFilthbasket]

thank you for this video, what do i do if don't have tat double boiler??

[@allrecipes]

Hi, Gertrude Filthbasket - If you don't have a double boiler, it's easy to make one using two saucepans. Use two sauce pans that are sized so one fits into the other with some room around the outside. Pour water into the bottom pan about 1/3 full, set it over the heat, and then place the second pan over the water. Let the water come to a boil or simmer in the bottom pan and it will act just like a double boiler.

[@varshabhargava9929]

The blender might work for this! Just make sure the sugar will resemble a very fine powder.

Very nice recipe! Just some question (Italy here, some of the ingredients maybe have another name). Package Unflavored Gelatin: do you mean seafish jelly? The on used to made "panna cotta"? As shortening is allowed to use Butter or due to its flavor, is better Margarine? Tnx forward.

[@vedikhattar1597]

can we use white butter in place of shortening. ....?

[@allrecipes]

Thank you Salome! This recipe makes enough to cover 1 - 10 x 4 inch high cake. Unfortunately, we don't have the weight measurement for this. If you make it and weigh it, please let us know!

[@dalisayenriquez3761]

what is the main role of the glycerin on fondant? and i was wondering if this would be pliable without any trag or tylose? tnx and more power!

[@allrecipes]

Sounds like you're ready to try your hand at fondant making, Dalisay Enriquez. Good questions here. Glycerine adds moisture to help prevent cracks in fondant, and tylose is a gum substance that adds elasticity. You probably do want to use both to prepare fondant successfully. Or here's an alternative recipe: allrecipes.com/Recipe/Marshmallow-Fondant/Detail.aspx

[@savannabroussard55]
