Yes you can try it. Sometimes helps but depends on the namebrand and ingredients they use

[@ayco73]

Hola edna...hice tu fondant...riquisimo...lo coloree de rosa...pero al secar ...quedo casi blanco...no le dio la luz del sol...que hice mal??? Saludos desde sonora mexico...me encanta tu canal...gracias

[@kellynuno9820]

Mi pregunta es: Que propiedades tiene la glicerina q ayuda a la MMF? Yo estoy practicando dos tipos distintos de pasta. Una con glicerina y otra con tragacanto. La tragacanto principalmente me queda muy seca. Crees q añadiendo (al amasar) glicerina tambien me pueda ayudar? Gracias por tus videos los disfruto y aprendo muuuuchisimo. Un saludo boricua desde Nebraska!!!

[@laloyaisha]

hi i got a question..can i use just shortening if i dont have glycerine at the moment?

[@hummingbird1997]

Thank you for the helpful video!

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Depends on the company for the fondant. But MMF tastes great. You can combine fondant with MMF and that would make a fondant taste better too if is not a great tasting one

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Si lo pusistes bajo una luz que tenga rayos violeta, eso tambien lo puede afectar el color

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Thanks!

[@shuggaraecreation2009]

Good stuff! Thanks

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Is it dry because it took air and is old or because you made it and it didn't turn out ok? Is it tylose gumpaste?

[@graceamaram9552]

Can I use butter as my shorting please. Thanks

[@IndraCorrea]

GREAT TIP GRACIAS!!

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Haven't done that one yet!

[@brentlenox1449]

why i have a grainy fondant? there are small lumps of powdered sugar stucked into it,i already sifted the powedered sugar, and knead it more but still not working :( hope you can help me

[@Gismelp]

Do you do the same for regular fondant?

[@MiaCristy1]

hello Edna, i was wondering which fondant tastes better..regular fondant or marshmallow fondant?

[@EdnaDelacruz]

si esta pegajoso es que le falta azucar..Anadele azucar y amasalo hasta que no quede pagajoso. Ponte un poco de shortening en las manos para amasar

[@thequiltedkitchen]

thank u very much for this xx

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Yo trate todo eso ya. Si, el tragacanto empeoro la masa. La glicerina le da elasticidad y la suaviza

[@mariagalvez6216]

Hi i had a question i live in the tropics .woukd this work well with my weather or not i dont want it to melt...thx very much

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Check my chocolate fondant recipe. I am in Floridan and is hot here but you do have to make sure to work in an area with AC and if humidity still affecting you, I can suggest to get a dehumidifier.

[@EdnaDelacruz]

aww, thanks

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Check my new upload for White Chocolate Fondant!

[@Msflyflyflyaway]

hello :) if i do not have glycerin, what else can i replace it with?

[@EdnaDelacruz]

You can try shortening or maybe adding a bit of corn syrup. If it doesn't work you can try mixing it with some pre-made fondant like Wilton to see if that helps

[@09321670]

Hi Edna just subscribed to your channel I love it specially the MMF recipe. I have a question do I refrigerate the MMF or you store it to room temperature? Thank you! :) from California.

[@EdnaDelacruz]

You can store it at room temperature. What you need to make sure is that is well sealed!

[@09321670]

got it thank you so much!!! God bless you :D

[@EdnaDelacruz]

You can store at room temperature. Just make sure it's well sealed so it doesn't dry

[@nadeekodikara504]

thanks

[@tristintia680]

Luv ur nails

[@venusmendez1332]

just want to ask if i donr have glyverine. i only have shortening

[@EdnaDelacruz]

You can knead it with shortening and see if it helps. Glycerine is another option if the shortening doesn't work. If nothing works, then you can add some pre-bought fondant to fix the consistency.

[@venusmendez1332]

@@EdnaDelacruz thank you very much for your reply.😊

[@annt4593]

Ty,pls make tutorial for cake topper

[@EdnaDelacruz]

What kind of cake topper? There's many styles

[@marydelalarcon9563]

Hi, can I use glucose instead of glycerine?

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Glycerine and glucose are 2 different things.

[@nadeekodikara504]

can i use butter

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Even though is a fat it would not be my option

[@marthitagarcia9968]

Hi edna I have a question. Every time I make a mmf cake they get all shiny ...how do I keed it looking "matte"?

[@EdnaDelacruz]

Are you placing the cake in the fridge?

[@marthitagarcia9968]

Edna De la Cruz yes I am

[@EdnaDelacruz]

The problem is condensation. Your Fridge is too cold and it's making your cake sweat.

[@marthitagarcia9968]

Edna De la Cruz so do i just lower the temperature?

[@EdnaDelacruz]

That would help. Also you can place the cake in a box and wrap the box in plastic so it helps too. Some people place a bit of baking soda inside the box to help. I prefer not to place my cakes in the fridge so I use things that will stay well outside the fridge.

[@hafizjamal8915]

hi Edna but my fondant is still having cracks

[@EdnaDelacruz]

+Hafiz Jamal If nothing work, you can try and mix it with some pre-bought fondant 50/50. Maybe you overheated the marshmallows or the gelatin.

[@jessicamarban8223]

my fondant is very sticky. how can I fix it ?

[@EdnaDelacruz]

+Jessica Marban Keep adding powder sugar until it's a consistency you like. I actually uploaded the other day a great recipe for White Chocolate Fondant!

[@annt4593]

Can u make a tuturial for splatoon cake 2 ti3r for boys plss splatoon2(games) is very popular,im searching for a tuto rial here in youtube ,i saw some but not good😊

[@EdnaDelacruz]

I try to avoid cakes that use characters because there is a copyright on them and the company can easily sue for copyright infringement. :(

[@annt4593]

Edna De la Cruz aww,so sad..thank u for your reply, your very beautiful❤️, im still learning of baking , i hope you have more video tutorial soon that we can learn more

[@EdnaDelacruz]

I am editing another one this week and working on an advanced techniques section in my website. Hopefully I can open it soon.

[@ODY0319]

For your fondant molds do you use powder sugar or cornstarch? Which is better?

[@EdnaDelacruz]

I use a very small amount of cornstarch. I used to use a 50/50 ratio when I started doing cakes but with the years I got used to dealing with less amount of it so now I use only cornstarch. But if you use a lot and find that it gives you trouble with the fondant, then I would say go 50/50 or use more sugar instead.

[@ODY0319]

Edna De la Cruz may you please help. I made marshmallow fondant and for some reason it’s dry and crumbly I added water it made it sticky I added powder sugar it made it drier I feel like it’s the water and powder sugar like powder sugar dries it out faster

[@EdnaDelacruz]

@@ODY0319 Make sure to knead it with some shortening in your hands. If nothing fixes it, you can add some Wilton fondant to it to fix the texture and not lose the mix. Is it your first time doing MMF?

[@ODY0319]

Edna De la Cruz it is! Its a pain lol (can’t you tell) and if I don’t have enough money for Wilton what else should I do? Microwave it?

[@EdnaDelacruz]

@@ODY0319 The problem with MMF is the ore you try to fix it, the more it can get worst because it can dry. I will add that if it's your first time making it, then don't give up. Sometimes it has a learning process. Did you try my recipe or did you do the basic one? Another tip..Joann and Michaels have most of the time coupons that you can use and 40% off it's a pretty good deal. If you still don't have enough money for this then try kneading with some shortening. If it's still too dry then it might already spend too much time being aired and that might not be easy to fix. Microwaving it might help temporarily but it won't fix it fully. If you try to make another batch and it's softer, try mixing a small amount of the fresh batch with the old one to see if that helps. Just a small batch, that way if it doesn't help, you don't lose it all.

[@09321670]

Hi Edna on The recipe you put lemon you mean the green one or yellow one thank you!

[@EdnaDelacruz]

It's just the extract!

[@morvillamuckett1466]

What if you don’t have glycine

[@EdnaDelacruz]

You can try adding a bit of water and mixing but it the fix really depends on the issue you are having. Glycerine is used in making fondant so it's always a good thing to have.

[@marice8136]

@@EdnaDelacruz hi! My fondant has been rested for 24 hrs. and when I knead it back, it becomes too soft, it's not elastic, and breaks easily. Does adding glycerine fix this kind of problem too?

[@EdnaDelacruz]

@@marice8136 It depends. if the condition is too bad then it might not fix it and you might be better off using that for details that don't require elasticity or maybe adding some good quality fondant to it. If it's too soft you can add more sugar to it or a bit of tylose.

[@EdnaDelacruz]

@@marice8136 It might need more Powder sugar. Sometimes when you knead it, people stop adding sugar because is not sticky anymore. But sometimes it still soft and need the extra sugar. Some people like soft fondant, others like a harder one. Add more sugar and if you are still not happy, take some of fondant and add a bit of tylose to test if you like the consistency of it with tylose. Adding glycerine to soft fondant won't fix the softness.
