I want to try Michele Foster's fondant recipe because it is getting rave reviews, but which one should I use? Fondant - Updated Fondant or Delicious Fondant?
TIA

I'm not sure which one it is that I use because I have it memorized but my favorite is this:

1/2 cup cream (I use half and half)
3 Tablespoons unflavored gelatin
1 cup light corn syrup
3 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons glycerin
2 tsp. clear vanilla
Approximately 3 1/2 pounds powdered sugar

This recipe also uses the microwave rather than the double boiler.
Hope this helps.

Looks like I'll try the "Updated" version.
Thanks

Thank you, my question was what kind of cream, because in the directions it said milk, so I was wondering what kind.

jo_ann, you can use heavy whipping cream, half and half, or milk.
