How to Make Fondant Like on "Cake Boss" : Fortune Cookies & More

[@momma370]

Thank you for the tutorial Daria.You explained the process nicely along with measurements. I had no idea it was this easy to make fondant and I'm looking forward to trying it. I hope you don't let any of the negative comments some people have posted discourage you, it's obvious they're focused on all that is negative and can't possibly be taught anything. You are extremely helpful and I'm excited about what else I can learn from you. Keep up the great work.

[@susanlloyd3515]

WOW! SERIOUSLY! All those making the crude comments: Would you seriously go to dinner at someone's house and make shitty comments to their face about how they cook, what type of bowl they use, or OMG you use blah, blah, blah? You act like she was using Arsenic for crump sakes. SMH. Not all of us are freaks about the type of bowl, or syrup that is used. This is probably something she does at her job everyday instead of just for the hell of it, so I'm pretty sure she probably knows what she's doing more than some of those on here that are Legendary Pastry Chefs in their own mind. I would hope those making ignorant comments would be a more gracious and courteous dinner guest than you have been watching this lady make this because it's basically the same thing. Obviously those that viewed or commented haven't managed to perfect how to make fondant or you wouldn't be on KZbin watching how someone else does it. If you don't like how someone is doing it then buy all means, keep your fingers and your rude comments to yourself and make your OWN video, doing it YOUR way since some of you act like you are SOOOO much better than this lady or could do it better. Everyone has their own way of making things. Doesn't mean YOUR way is the right way or better. It's just different. As far as those making the comments like she's stupid and doesn't know how to work the mixer because she didn't just "tilt it back" " or "did it the hard way." DUHHHH! Some are tilt head and some are bowl lift. I guess she could call those making the comments about that the dummies because OBVIOUSLY you must not have realized there are two different styles or you wouldn't have made the asinine remarks like she didn't know what SHE was doing. There are some of us that don't want just the ingredients. If you want that then go to a recipe site. Some of us would rather watch it being done and things explained because we have little ones that want to help and letting them watch the video to get somewhat of an idea beforehand what we're going to do helps them. Like mentioned earlier: If you don't like how she's doing it or anyone else for that matter, keep your mouth shut, fingers to yourself, and move on to the next video that you will no doubt rip apart or make your own so someone else can make comments about yours like you did hers. Some of us appreciate people like this taking the time out of their days to make videos like these. For the one that complained about the "highly toxic non' blah, blah, blah: Shame on the lady in the video for not using Silicone bowls or glass. Every time people turn around there are new studies saying this is linked to that disease or that is linked to this disease or conditions because most of the time even scientists don't really know what causes something so they have to find something to pin it on. I remember when I was younger and they tried to say drinking out of Styrofoam cups would cause cancer. Everything causes cancer now days if you believe everything you read, hear, or a study was done on. Everything. If it isn't now, give it a week and it will be in the news that it is. Face it, people that get disease are usually already predisposed to most of them due to genetics. Give the lady some credit. At least she was willing to take time out of her day to make a video to show some of us how to do this that weren't sure or didn't already know.

[@sweethoneymilk]

I only see criticism, and opinions. Not everyone going to like the same things, and yes I think they would say some of those things to that person's face if it helps them improve , and to express their opinion.

[@ryzf449]

Susan Lloyd true dat!

[@emilyfox7704]

Susan Lloyd Agreed. People are annoying.

[@JojoplusBo]

Couldn't agree with you more Susan Loyd. I watch these tutorials to learn and thank my lucky stars that people take the time to share their knowledge. There is a line between playful commenting on some videos which the uploader appreciates the banter, I'm sure.....but the unwarranted and unappreciated commenting makes me cringe at times. I wonder if some people really realise the time and effort that is put into making these tutorials - even KZbin has its yin and yang side, I guess............ :-)

[@susanlloyd3515]

There's a difference between constructive criticism and destructive. Unfortunately, many don't understand or care about the difference. They just let things roll off their fingertips or out of their mouths without a filter/guard or caring about how they present their "opinions." Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but at least be considerate and show some simple respect when presenting it. You can voice your "opinion" without ripping someone's self esteem down in the process

[@nikkijaramillo9706]

People should stop hating on her. There are endless reasons as to why she seems to look very inexperienced. She made the fondant and accomplished her agenda. That's that.

[@nottimmyowens]

i tried this recipe and it tastes amazing

[@betsysizemore8857]

I liked your fondant video the best out of the other ones I have watched. But I am working during if you use real butter and is it salted or unsalted ? I'm going to try this tomorrow. Thanks

[@alexcartwright6958]

It's kinda cool how a whole bag of baby marshmallows and 2 lbs of sugar fit into a hand-full of fondant.

[@Kartz1198]

I don't see anything wrong with her... She seems to know what she's doing... Haters, stop hating!

[@chanelsmith1693]

This recipe came out sooooo good!! I really appreciate it. It's my first time so I wasn't too confident at first but your amazing🙌🏽

[@reganfeit9281]

Loved the fondant it worked great

[@rachaeldhanassar7977]

can anyone say what size cake this amount of fondant covers??? please

[@diannavargas821]

Thank you for the tutorial. It looks easier than I thought! I will try this with my halloween snake cake!!

[@PiecesofChan]

I love the "where's my mixing bowl" look hahahaha

[@elizabethphillips7838]

I have a few questions: How is this Fondant stored? How long will it last? Also, can it be frozen?

[@janmichaeljaranilla2841]

what a nice birthday cake for 14 year old boy.....???? thank you☺️😄😃😀🎂

[@amsol77]

Thank you for this tutorial, I love making my own cakes, but I do not love how expensive fondant is!! (Also, I find it pathetic that all everyone can do is bash but apparently they are all professional bakers) Also, confectioners sugar is powdered sugar and no you do not need to sift it. If you do not have corn syrup you can easily make your own out of just a few ingredients (water, sugar, salt) directions/recipes are online.

[@kriete2883]

New drinking game, every time she says Go Ahead take a drink

[@jamiepowell6996]

is there a way to make it, and store it till the next day, so it makes it less hassle for the day you need to make the cake?

[@valerieolivares5956]

fondant can be stored in an air tight container, it will harder slightly but just knead it again with your hands and it will be moldable

[@Jessicarver]

This is my go to recipe! :-) Thanks!

[@hailleylesher1814]

is it better to make your own fondant or buy ?

[@clairelee7801]

Where did you get the clear butter please and what name is it?

[@arjanisbekaj3775]

Can you use the fondant right after making it or do you have to wait a couple hours before applying the fondant on cake ? (sorry if I did some mistakes while writing. My English isn't perfect :) )

[@duttiandjoyce]

I'm pretty sure u don't need to wait I think u can apply it right away! And your English is great!!

[@minasheriff1311]

Hi haven't you named out the ingredients + quantities used. it helps too on the preparation process..

[@alicialynch5857]

Is the recipe exact? I put in half of sugar and its already dough like.

[@cindyboor7876]

that didn't look like butter. Can you buy clear butter or use butter extract instead?

[@ThisDudeBakes]

Nice video, thank you!

[@joeyalvarez3992]

Hey, Loved your video I want to try it soon I was just wondering if you could list all the things you used to make it please and thanks:)

[@darcow5264]

I dont know how to cook but i would like to make this fondant. What is the 4th ingredient after the 3 tablespoon of water?

[@jackiebobadilla7178]

what kind of butter do you use for this

[@jeniferapuad7457]

What kind of butter ,melted butter or a butter syrup?

[@hotcheeto8153]

Can I use marshmallow creme instead ?

[@blazekillz991]

what type of butter did u use

[@BoriTica33]

Any suggestions on the best way to color it? I have a block and gold cake to make next week. I prefer my own fondant instead of store fondant.

[@skluizenaar]

Lisa Morales Gel icing color works best. Apply sparingly with a toothpick until you get the desired color. For more metallic color, look for edible petal or pixie dust.

[@lupizzkenyazxenyizz]

Is the corn syrup a must?

[@mahahafeez6377]

Do we have to use corn syrup

[@lucifiscer]

How long will this stay fresh (unspoiled)?

[@harssk]

looks like it was your first time using that kitchen aid. other than that solid instructions

[@ErikaNY1973]

I guess or she was very nervous or was her first time using the kitchen aid .... Lol

[@michellemort3520]

love how they paused the video to show her how to put the bowl on.

[@janaylifestyle5875]

Lol they show did 😂😂😂😂

[@Canienouspastry]

Michelle Mort 😁

[@Cdr365]

does it hold well in humid weather?

[@lisadicus9820]

I think you could google MMF to find out.

[@marigeobrien]

This is the first fondant recipe that includes amounts. It's so frustrating when tutorials are vague about such vital information. While I don't mind "playing it by ear" when I know a recipe, these tutorials are for those who do not know the recipe... so frustrating.

[@kimlewis5713]

Amazing!

[@sparkles123423]

confectioners, powdered, or icing sugar depending on where you live

[@rockylynch5368]

Hi thanks for the tips your awesome

[@jacksparrow6144]

is there another way to melt the butter without using the microwave?

[@eshajohal8646]

Maybe a double boiler..

[@loyalmaiden]

can i use regular sugar???

[@mintystrippin3078]

Btw can u cover a cake with this fondant? I need an answer by tommorow thx

[@Jessicarver]

Yes you can!

[@msbunny6671]

can i use marshmellow fluf for this or it wont work?

[@maremata84]

If you see DC cupcakes in neflix they make the best cupcakes look it up on neflix

[@victoriavas123]

Can you please mention how to store it and for how long.

[@okiedokie49er]

if you get it in an air tight bag, it'll basically last months, 4-6 I guess

[@okiedokie49er]

in the fridge

[@erinjane9286]

What about coloring?

[@skluizenaar]

Erin Jane You can color...I suggest using gel icing color. Use a toothpick to apply as needed to get the desired color. Gel colors are very rich and saturated, so apply sparingly. Hope this helps!

[@kate_lgf]

Does a hand mixer work too?

[@fizzahbi4984]

Yes she said in the video

[@michellehansel86]

Thanks

[@veronicabermudez7487]

What is the surgur called?

[@alicialynch5857]

THAX!

[@francescacopeland5699]

Is there Any way you can make fondant without Corn syrup

[@RadioactiveHug]

White Sugar you can add 1 cup of white sugar to your recipe. You will have to increase the liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup. It may take a few tries to get the combination of white sugar and liquid right for the outcome that you desire. www.ehow.com/info_8105085_corn-syrup-substitutes.html

[@pamelaparker4143]

wonderful

[@lupizzkenyazxenyizz]

Can use icing sugar?

[@charlizeneckles6603]

Thank is confectioners suger 😂😂😂

[@lupizzkenyazxenyizz]

Hihiii thanks

[@madimanypenny9655]

I'm sorry for sounding dumb.....but what is confectioners sugar

[@333jz]

its sugar with a powdery consistency instead of granulated which is what you get with regular sugar. its used mostly for icing since this type of sugar won't make it gritty.

[@Multimarkredrb]

333jz Also called powdered sugar and icing sugar :D

[@kalabender5268]

could we use marshmellow cream

[@skluizenaar]

Kala Bender I've seen another recipe where the user commented she used marshmallow fluff instead of melting/mixing. I think it was on AllRecipes.com

[@OdiliaShaw]

The powered sugar is sifted or not

[@kate_lgf]

It doesnt have to be ;).

[@luketaylor9418]

Is confectionairy sugar icing sugar

[@ElaineErika]

That is a kitchen aid pro it doesn't lift(the head)

[@hayleigh5150]

is dark corn syrup the same thing

[@MissCSJ107]

Yes same but it will tint it a off white color.

[@msfam6]

I'm making.it right now

[@peridotasadeadbritishmonar7924]

Does it taste like marshmallows??

[@YTfancol]

Nice . Thanks. So much better than Cake Boss. I don´t see people wearing gloves on that show.... Ewww.

[@kimhoroski]

Salted or unsalted butter

[@ciann11]

ugh its almost impossible to find corn syrup in Scotland :(

[@lozap100]

Use liquid glucose it's the same thing xxx just add 1 teaspoon more water and u have what u need

[@BinhLe-yh8ku]

I try it with a kind of auger I use but it still work ._.

[@lis777adonai07]

WHAT KIND OF BUTTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SALTED OR UNSALTED!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nickbriana4695]

[@daniellaelizondo6313]

It look like she didn't know what she was doing lol😂

[@hailleylesher1814]

like you could do better after all you are the one who look up the video im probably younger than you and I have more manners how rude !

[@gaabrielaochoa]

Well, shes a baker and this helped a lot of people, so i bet shes better than you, shes a great baker. What about you? Nothing

[@sarahhemaid5192]

😁

[@momma370]

Good for you Hailey, some people just have no class.

[@ranaebuckway3547]

Hailley Lesher you must have watched a different video than I did she did great. Can't understand stand why people need to be mean,

[@tn3775]

Where is the ingredients??? How much did u put ?

[@wolverine1865]

Just buy fondant icing sugar. Simple. All you do is add water to it

[@mochasnoozypikachu3471]

Cake boss uses Satin Ice fondant

[@sandradaza4177]

my is too sticky, what should I do?

[@legenddairy535]

Add a bit of powder sugar and rub and nit it a bit!

[@jesssimplemad]

Shower more often!!

[@QVALITY]

She clearly doesnt know how to use the kitchen aid cause she couldve just lifted to top of it and removed the bowl but she decided to take the harder route. Its understandable though if she doesn't work around it all the time

[@diannavargas821]

It's a bowl lift mixer, not a tilt head mixer.

[@symbioticvenom6456]

pretty sure i said that already...

[@prestonbelgarde3228]

"they're gunna go ahead and make it less sticky"

[@Multimarkredrb]

Is the backround a greenscreen?

[@22zno]

No

[@bao-trannguyen9118]

Why is her butter clear?

[@maureenhaley1555]

Im so glad the butter gives a butter taste.............cough.

[@m.a.medina7789]

Easy ... and... messy.. ahaha... but as long as it's food, all good!

[@katharinabachman5918]

Sorry, what is coincer? After 3 table spoon water you put 3 table spoon (?) coincer. What does it mean? Englisch is not my basic language. Sorry

[@tsumner16]

She said Corn Syrup. lol

[@jrmv100]

took her like 12 tries to get the kitchen aid to work lmao

[@redjem13]

“Chief Confectionary Officer” can’t figure out KitchenAid Mixer.

[@lisadicus9820]

Its sad how everyone has to focus's upon her inadequacy instead of the recipe, maybe she's nervous. I have enjoyed the butter addition to my Fondant and her enthusiasm..maybe more people could be more positive and less picky on the presentation.

[@marismarzan6021]

I would like to bake with you

[@joelleriley7272]

what the hell was that butter? it looked like water?

[@peninaopacifica]

I did everything exactly and it didn't turn out whatsoever :( It was more sticky and creamy like a melting frosting. Totally bummed, I just wasted a whole bag of marshmellows and 2 lbs. of confectioners sugar.

[@kevinaeros]

When kneeding it u can add a little more powdered sugar so it would be stiffer,, ;)

[@cubsdiva5536]

+Irelandplays Mc just add food coloring

[@joyos71]

were gonna go ahead...

[@chloegloyne6370]

Whats wrong with the mixer

[@safvaf]

Sorry. I was really mad when I posted that. Youre right... we ALL make mistakes. I guess I was mad cuz I couldnt find the right fondant recipe... Sorry.

[@jeanhorse7816]

Is it me or does the mixer sound like it's singing?

[@Madamara702]

i love how she didnt know how to put the mixer together .. lmao . who the fuck puts the attachment on first LMAO

[@cristiangomez967]
