My friends from Southern California and San Franicsco are coming to Tulsa next week. I'd like to make a cake. Anyone know 100% vegan fondant brand I can buy? Does anyone have a vegan fondant recipes to share? Thanks.
My San Franicsco friend's wife is a raw vegan. Any CC vegans share a raw cake recipe. Thanks.

I don't think there is a vegan fondant. I think they all have gelatin and vegan's won't eat that. |

Not all fondant contains gelatin, or even animal products like egg white or milk solids. The brand I buy is vegan.
Check around at different brands. Call the companies' customer service and ask for an ingredients list. I may be wrong, but I do believe I read somewhere that Satin Ice is vegan, but I may be wrong.
Most homemade RF recipes contain either gelatin or egg white. Agar-agar is a vegetarian gelatin substitute, but cannot be substituted measure for measure in recipes. You'll need to either find a recipe for agar-agar fondant, or develop one on your own. |

I am vegan, and have personally contacted Satin Ice, Pettinice and Choco Pan, and have been assured that none of these brands contain any animal products or derivatives. It's usually only homemade fondant (mmf) that contains gelatin.
I can not guarantee that these fondant brands are raw, however. As for the cake, you might want to try a site like http://goneraw.com/ for recipes.
I hope this is helpful! |

I'm a STRICT vegan and the Wilton fondant is vegan (or the one I use is). I don't personally eat it because it contains hydrogenated oil (yuck). But it is vegan. (and the Wilton fondant isn't everyone's favorite, but if you're stuck, I've used it. - I won't make a cake that isn't vegan)
ALSO, I found a homemade vegan recipe on CC called "basic fondant"
ingredients are:
1 cup water,
3 cups sugar,
1/4 tsp cream of tartar.
Let me know if you'd like me to PM you the rest of the recipe.
and GOOD LUCK!  |

It uses agar-agar which you can find in most stores sometimes in the international foods asile near the japanese foods or in the natural/organic foods asile. |

I forgot to say that you will need to find vegan powdered sugar too because normal powdered sugar is processed through charcoal made from animal bones and some vegans wouldn't like that too much. |

Most rolled fondants contain glycerin which may be derived from vegetable and animal sources (fats).
http://www.vegblog.org/archive...../glycerin/
Satin Ice is certified “Pareve”; however, it does not use the term “vegetable glycerin” in the list of ingredients.
Satin Ice Ingredients:
Sugar,
corn syrup,
water,
palm oil,
natural and artificial flavor,
gum tragacanth,
titanium dioxide,
glycerine,
cellulose gum,
modified corn starch,
potassium sorbate,
acetic acid. |
