I hate making MMF. I will definitely try this recipe and see what the results are. Thanks for letting us know.

I always add lemon extract to cut the sweetness. Last time I made it I tried orange extract and that was really really good, too. I prefer Michele Fosters recipe to Tobas. It was a little easier to work with I thought.

So we let it rest for 24 hrs. before use in the refrigerator...do you let it come to room temperature before using or can you use it straight out of the fridge???

Ok, I hear what people are saying about MMF, but I began my career using the scratch fondant Paul was talking about, and had nothing but inconsistent problems with it. The gelatin formed little "boogers" that got entrenched into the fondant.
It didn't taste any less sweet than any other type of rolled fondant.
The double batch MMF fondant I found is messy to make (but I have a system on mess control). I find that the original recipe can get really dry and leathery, so I add a few tablespoons of crisco into it as the marshmallows are melting, and then knead even more shortening as it . After reading this post, I may even try to add some glycerine as well. Nonetheless, after adding some fat to it, the fondant is smooth, pliable, and tastes better (less sweet). I am thrilled with the MMF recipe, and I think my fondant rolls out pretty smoothly...not too many probs unless it is humid out. Just my take on it!!

Marine I have used it straight out of the fridge and kneaded it. While kneading it soften the fondant just nice enough to use.

I made it with coconut extract for my coconut sticky rice with mangoes!! Yummy!! The coconut fondant was by far the best one I have made yet and I am making it again this week to try with pineapple cake!

Thanks for sharing, I will definitely give this a try!!! Gee, that gives me another reason to have to bake a cake.

This is how i learned to make fondant in my cake classes! We never let it rest! Made it and went STRAIGHT to the cakes!! Always worked fine for us. Make sure you trim the top edges of the cake you are putting it on though so the fondant doesnt Pull down at the sharp edges!! i will be making a batch today to make 16 Mini sleepover beds! I use Lorann Oils to flavor mine! 6-8 Drops make just a soft flavor and it taste wonderful!! If you want a little stronger flavor add a few more but do NOT go over 10 drop of Lorann oils in this recipie of fondant!! This is the only way i know how to make fondant and i love it!!
