The fondant can be flavored but I have never found them to dry without any filling. Cupcakes with poured fondant should be freshly baked (a moist cupcake recipe is good) and then brushed with the abricot jam for sealing and then dipped in the fondant. Some brush a little sugar syrup on the cupcakes before the abricot jam to add a little moisture. But I find that too sweet.

I have always been accustomed to buttercream, and I am worried that there won’t be enough flavor in the poured fondant and the finished cupcakes will turn out too dry without buttercream.

Thanks so much, Your blog is amazing!

You cannot taste it.

It needs to be thick but still with a pouring consistency. I would not use a hand mixer to make the pf from scratch.

Those pink fondant covered cupcakes are gorgeous looking. I tried to make it today using Martha Stewart’s PF. Unfortunately it didnt come out that good. It kind of flowed by the side of cupcake. It doesn’t stick to the cupcake much. Can u tell me what I can do. I have a hand mixer and was wondering if I can use your recipe for PF with hand mixer. Thanks a lot!

Those pink fondant covered cupcakes looks so pretty. I tried it today and used martha stewarts poured fondant recepie and I had problems with it. when i dip my cupcakes into the fondant and take it out and keep it. It’s kind of flowing by the sides of cupcakes. I mean it doesn’t stick to the cupcake much. I have a hand mixer and was wondering if I can use your recipe of poured fondant.

It’s a UK brand called Regalice. It is important that you only melt on the lowest power and only for a few secs at a time. Take out and stir gently and then heat if needed.

I have store bought and I everytime I heat it in the microwave it just clumps together and then boils? Maybe it is too high temp? Do you reduce the microwave power?

You can see with these cake bites http://cakejournal.com/cake-lounge/valentine-cake-bites/ I used a chocolate cake and pale pink PF and you can hardly see it.

Do you think that would work, or would the chocolate cake show through the fondant? Thanks for the info…you’re cakes are beautiful!

Also not all pre made brands works either so if you are interested in covering cupcakes with out to much fuss you should try and make this petit four icing. Works really good: http://www.marthastewart.com/335566/petits-fours-icing
The fondant that I use in the tutorial is not to be compared with rolled fondant but is more liquid. I have only tried to melt 1 pre made fondant and that was a UK brand.

Can this also be done with home made marshmallow fondant? Would I make it like normal then melt it down? Or does it have to be pre made fondat?
Thank you!

Just be careful as warm fondant takes more color fast. So use only a tiny amount of color at a time.

The reason why you should use abricot is because of the color and the neutral taste. You won’t really taste it when the cupcakes is covered with PF.
