I find Americolor brand color less hand-staining than Wilton (aside from red!). Also placing a small bowl upside down over fondant while working on smaller pieces of it stops air from flowing over it, stops it from beginning to crust.

I don't recommend using 10X sugar to roll your fondant. It removes the moisture from your fondant, causing tears and/or elephant skin. The same for cornstarch, although I find it more forgiving than 10X. Use sparingly! A silicone mat is the best bet, with nothing on it...except fondant of course!

Try Fantasia Fondant, you won't regret it. It is a very forgiving fondant with a long work time, which makes it easy to work with for beginners and pros. Fantasia Fondant is formulated with elasticity making it a high performing fondant when covering cakes or performing in silicon cake molds. The colors of Fantasia Fondant are vivid and fadeproof. This fondant will not prematurely dry, crack, tear, break and 'elephant skin.' Offers a less sweet taste that resembled a homemade marshmallow fondant.

@AsiaCoffee 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for this recommendation! I've heard of Fantasia Fondant, but have never found it in a store. I've tried Renshaw (my fav), Satin Ice, Sweet Shop, and Wilton (in class only). I'll look online for Fantasia and definitely give it a try. Much appreciated!😉

@AsiaCoffee 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, fondant will stick to your cake covered in store-bought icing, BUT you have to be careful. Store-bought icing (unless it’s Wilton or CK brand) tends to be really soft. You’ll need to refrigerate the cake to stiffen the icing BEFORE covering in fondant. Otherwise, the fondant will slip and slide, and you don’t want that. Thanks for watching!

@AsiaCoffee 9 ай бұрын

No. When rolling out fondant, you’ll want to dust your surface with corn starch. Powdered sugar can also be used in a pinch. Tylose and CMC are kneaded into fondant to stiffen it for fondant decorations. I would not add it to fondant that’s covering a cake!
