I always store my cakes in the fridge and have a small problem with condensation when the cake is out of the fridge. I always decorate the day before but add more delicate flowers and so on the day.

The airbubbles comes when the fondant is kneaded too much. I also struggles with many air bubbles in store bought fondant but found that it can be cut down to a mini mum if the fondant is slightly cold. Also give it a round with the fondant smoother before covering the cake can also help.

I was wondering I had planned to cover the cake and decorate 3 days prior to party and just leave in the fridge but just read somewhere that you shouldn’t do that? What do you recommend just decorating the day before and leaving it out ? I really appreciate your time.

But I found that when I rolled out the fondant, there are many bubbles and seems not smooth. How can I make it smoother??

You can also use it for cooking and baking.

This is the first recipe that doesn’t have melted chocolate chips in it, or a stand up mixer. I’m going to give this a test this week for a cake that I’m going to make for Easter.

You should not add all the icing sugar at once. But add more on the next day. It is more flexible than regular fondant so you need to be a little more careful when trimming the cake.

And it was also hard to roll out the dough I thought I could build muscle. It kept shrinking in when I rolled it out. So when I put it on my cake and cut the edge, the edge started to shrink and looked kinda hang. Please advice.

I don’t have any specific measures

I can recommend to use premade and just get into working with fondant in the first place.

It tasted absolutely delicious! Of course, it probably wasn’t the best to use for a first time fondant user, I think I made it the completely wrong consistency. Oh well, at least it taste good!

It will dry faster if you knead in some Tylo cmc powder or Gumtex.

I was wondering if the fondant can be used for covering shapes. I am wanting to make Minnie Mouse ears using styrofoam balls and a bow. DO you know if fondant will work to cover ears or should I try a different material. Thanks in advance for any tips.

I make a zebra cake. Ifirst put white all over the cake let it freeze then put some black on it. if you stick in in the freezer thigh make sure to give it hours of thaw time because marshmallow freezes more than other frosting

Could this be powdered sugar?
Sorry for the absurd question!

This should help keeping the moisture off the cake.

I couldnt make your recipe because its in ounces and what we have here is in grams, so i made 300grms marshmallow, 450gr icing sugar, 1tbsp + 1tsp water, a bit of shortening on the counter and on my hands . I must confess the taste was fabulous, but it was a bit hard to knead with the possibility to tear! As a result it was a bit difficult to color with strong colors! It was not sticky at all, on the contrary i think maybe it needed less sugar, so the next time i will not pour all the sugar at once, i will do it in portions. However, it is good for figure making. The only disadvantage is the difficulty in coloring! But the taste is greattttt. Its worth to try again! :) Gigi

I just take my gum paste and start working :-) It is good to add some Tylo powder/gumtex to the mmf to make it more flexible and firm while drying.

Does the mmf seem dry? To get it more pliable you can add some vegetable fat.
