White chocolate fondant

by Louise 86 Comments


I have for some time now heard about a very tasty white chocolate fondant that Jennifer Dontz makes on one of her dvds. The white chocolate fondant should be really good to work with and who would not like that? There is nothing worse than a rolled fondant that tear and crack when you cover a cake.

I had to order the Merckens chocolate as we can not get that here. Luckily does my supermarket have an “american food” aisle. So there was no problems in getting the corn syrup. I did already have a few pounds of Pettinice fondant in stock.

Not only was the white chocolate fondant easy to make, it taste delicious too. Now I only need a cake, so that I can try how it is to work with. That will be my next mission….

Happy Caking!

Louise

    Hello to all.  I just bought the dvd that gives the recipe for white chocolate fondant.  It is an excellent dvd.  I haven’t tried the recipe yet, but was so thrilled to read that Louise did.  Now I’m really going to have to give it a try for myself… Thanks, Louise, for your input.  Really appreciate it.

    I paid around thirty dollars for the Jennifer Dontz DVD and its the absolute best thing I have ever spent money on that has helped me improve my skills and confidence when it come to working with fondant……. Im just a beginner…. I have no ties to jennifer except that she is always willing to answer questions about anything you see on her DVDs.

    Hi Louise ,

    I really love your web. I need to make a birthday cake to my best friend. Can I cover a sponge cake (+ fresh fruit) covered with the white chocolate fondant and put it in fridge?

    Just want to let everyone know that I purchased the DVD with the white chocolate fondant recipe from Jennifer Dontz. I found the DVD extremely useful. The chocolate fondant was very easy to work with and the taste was great. (I used it to make my daughter’s 6th birthday cake.) The DVD had some very helpful hints regarding placing the fondant on the cake and getting it to look perfect, plus a few other great tips. I did post a pick of the cake on my blog… http://www.paige-reese.blogspot.com. i would like to say “thank you” to Louise for posting the info on cakejournal as it worked out perfectly. Good to know that cakejournal has accurate/reliable info. Thanks, Janeen

    Hi!
    This is my best advice when using other brands than Pettinice with my recipes. Try the exact same brands first, otherwise, you won’t know how they should come out or perform. Then once you done that, try other brands. I do know Satin Ice is hit and miss. I don’t think they have a consistent product from batch to batch. Pettinice is very different than Wilton. I personally have not tried other brands just because I’m so thrilled with the way the Pettinice performs. I appreicate not posting my recipe. With the investment I have into the DVDs…. one needs to recoup that 🙂 Feel free to e-mail me any questions, cakebabe1@aol.com I use Pettinice and Mercken’s super white chocolate (candy melts) for both my semi-homemade white chocolate fondant and for my pearl clay. Pearl clay is what I make all my pearls, pressed lace, side ribbons and more out of. It’s almost all chocolate and very leatherlike in consistency. But, it’s not plain modeling chocolate.

    In the 80’s we did not have pkg. rolled fondant available. A teacher told me to use the Wilton’s fondant recipe, out of their year book, and make a recipe of Wilton’s Modeling Candy Recipe (a.k.a. candy clay). Mixed portions together to get a better tasting fondant. Really had to work with both to get the right consistency. Recipes are still in the Wilton’s Year Books but I use the premade Wilton Rolled Fondant as it it availabe everywhere and it works out great.

    Stephanie D: The recipe from Jennifer Dontz cant be posted. But that recipe is really good and good to work with.
    If you are having trouble with cracking fondant. I would say that your fondant may be a bit dry. If it cracks you can knead in a little white fat. I have not tried to add gum paste powder.

    Hanna: I have never tried working with rolled buttercream fondant. But when I make figurines and so I always knead in a little tylo powder. This will make it more stiff.

    Astrid: Send your question to Jennifer. Im sure she can help you out. I have not tried to freeze mine yet.

    Janeen: So far I have only tried to work with the Pettinice and other brands but not wilton. There are a big difference with texture and flavor. I know that Jennifers recipe dont work well with Satin Ice.

    I follow this blog for some time now and i love it, thank you so much for all you input and information that you share with us.
    After a long time searching the web i came across Jennifer Dontz site and ordered her DVD`s (hope to get them soon).
    Because i also have trouble with my fondant sometimes a specialy now with summer comming up.
    Now i was wondering can i freeze this chocolate fondant because sometimes i have frozen a cake covered in fondant and it turned out ok.
    Is it possible to do so with this???
    Thank you so much.

    Hi!

    This is Jennifer Dontz from Sugar Delites. Someone told me about this awesome site and that my DVDs made some conversation 🙂 If I can help, just let me know. My e-mail is cakebabe1@aol.com We do ship worldwide and offer flat rate envelopes, which usually run 11.00-14.00 to ship depending on location. We only charge the actual amount to get the order to your door, no more. We also offer flat rate boxes as well. I usually can fit 3 or 4 items in an envelope depending on sizes. The chocolate fondant is totally awesome, no cracking EVER. My customers are loving it as well. If I can help, please don’t hesitate to ask. Jennifer 🙂

    Hi Louise!
    I don’t like the taste of fondant, so I made ‘rolled buttercream fondant’ yesterday, but it doesn’t harden enough to make standing decorations. Do you know if there is something I can add to make it stiffer? For example, I wanted to make your cute turtle cake topper, but the fondant is too soft, even after a couple of hours.

    Ladies, If you click on the pink colored word “Jennifer Dontz” in Louise’s original discription it will take you to the web page in which you can buy the DVD for yourself and the recipe is on the DVD. Jennifer does not give out her recipe free. You have to buy the video. She, like many of us, have to make a living making cakes and you have to pay for the DVD to get the recipe. Check out her other DVD’s as they are awesome as well! I have the fondant fancies and frills DVD (it has the white chocolate fondant recipe on it as well) and it has a lot of great techniques and ideas. Happy Caking!

I have to make sure that I go back to North America with an empty suitcase so I can bring back baking stuff!

    To all…you can use glucose inplace of the corn syrup. It works great and maybe easier to find in your area.
    Dawn, I live in the U.S. and wish I had all the sugarpaste tools that are available locally in the U.K. along with all the precolored sugarpaste, and your lovely marzipan that is difficult to fine here in the states. And the U.K. has so many cake shops that carry a great variety.

        i find this very  very unhelpful because this is a baking blog! you have to share the recipes or else its pointless. Think about it, you dont go online to a baking blog to hear about recipes you go on to find recipes, so this is just annoying.

        How about you stop whining and think about what you’re complaining about. “Waaaahhhh. She won’t give me a recipe for free that she had to pay to get.” Anyone involved in pastry can tell you we don’t make oodles of money. She is helping a colleague boost her sales. Also, why would she freely give you information that she had to pay to learn?
