Hello everyone. So i have been trying to make the MFF everyone talks about on cc. However i couldnt get corn syrup so i used an equal amount of glucose syrup and my fondant did not come out right at all.
it cracks so badly when i roll it and i simply cant even put it on a cake. Anyone know how to help me out. there is no corn syrup i the country im in. Thank you

Put a bit of vegetable shortening (crisco) on your hands and knead it in. Add it (the shortning) a tiny bit at a time. That should help.

You can also microwave the MMF for a few seconds(only a few or it will melt). This makes it more pliable. I don't use corn syrup or glucose in my fondant. Just marshmallows, water, powdered sugar and an extract(vanilla, lemon, hazelnut, etc).

If it doesn't work, start over with a recip that doesn't use corn syrup. Godd luck.

And texas(country?- USA) doesn't have corn syrup?

im not in Texas at the moment thats why, went on vacation for a while outside of the US but its not marshmallow fondant im trying to make its michele fosters fondant.

so please someone help me. the crisco doesnt seem to be making that much of a difference

I suspect you added too much sugar at the beginning. If the crisco isn't doing the job, try moistening your hands with water, knead, and moisten your hands again, until you feel you've got the corrct consistency. Give that a try, if it doesn't do the trick, I recommend starting over and not adding as much sugar. Good luck to you.

Oops my bad. Never tried MFF, good luck!

Makes more sense now about country thing

Michele's fondant is very stiff when it has been sitting. Have you tried kneading it very well? I just made a batch yesterday and kneaded it out today. It is cooler here today (no complaints LOL!), and it took me quite a while to loosen up the entire batch. When I first start, it feels very stiff to the touch and it crumbles and breaks when I try to break off a handful, and it will crack and tear if I try to roll it out at that point. After kneading thoroughly, it is smooth and elastic - it stretches out almost into a cord rather than breaking and crumbling when I grab a handful and pull. I suspect you haven't kneaded it to that point. Glucose should be a good substitute for corn syrup - that should not have ruined your batch. Be careful trying to microwave it to warm it, though - it is better to just knead until it is elastic.

There was a thread yesterday on MFF and they had a link to an FAQ page that Michelle made but my search function is not working today for some reason. I did paste it in a word doc. It won't let me attach here but I can PM to you. It says what to do if it's too dry/hard/soft etc.

AHA - I found the link to her FAQ page!
