Fairly new to cookie decorating and have made fondant and RI cookies, but never mixed the two...I want to make some skeleton cookies. Would a mixture of fondant (base) and white RI lines for the skeleton on top, work?
Or am I better off to use the white RI lines , then flood with the other colors around it? If so, how long should I wait for it to dry before outlining and flooding with the main color? Hope that makes sense....
TIA!

I seem to eventually be answering a lot of my own posts these days! Anyway, I tried the fondant and the RI and it worked well. I can't seem to post a photo, so if you are interested, the black cat and bat skeleton cookies are in my photos...

hello cakerock Don't worry if no body answer your post some times happen ! but thank you for share your experience and your cookies are awsome!!

Thank you, Nordi2008!

Im new to cookie decorating and to this site...I was thinking of doing a MMF/RI combo; I'm baptizing my son this Dec and am going to do decorated cookies as a party favor. Anyways, your cookies look great, I hope mine come out just as good. If you have any tips or tricks I would really appreciate it

I am also new to cookies...I thought that tylose was only for figure modeling and therefore not for eating. So, since I am new in the use of MMF and I have notice that it does indeed stretches a lot, I am assuming now that I can use Tylose to make MMF a little stiffer and this will make it easier to decorate the cookie?
Thank you in advance for your answer!

I use a 50/50 mix of Rhonda's Ultimate MMF and Michele Foster's fondant, both recipes here on cc. To help with the stretch, I usually make mine several days ahead so it has time to "mature" if you will.

I roll the fondant out on vinyl squares, cut with the appropriate cookie cutter and let them sit for a few minutes while I roll and cut more shapes. This lets the fondant relax a little after rolling and also drys it a bit. I use thinned corn syrup brushed on the cookie to attach the fondant. You can peel the shape off of the vinyl, just like you would a label.

I do all my cookies with fondant and this method has worked well for me. HTH

Thank you linedancer another little question, can I do the same for covering a cake? Can I use 1/2 mmf + 1/2 Reg fondant to cover a cake?Thank you in advance.
I am sorry cakesrock for " bump" into your post By the way I have seen your halloween cookie and they came out perfect!
Ciao!

I don't do many cakes, but I don't see why you couldn't use the 50/50 mix. The reason I like the mix is because I like the taste and mouth feel of MMF, but it is not quite as pliable as MFF. However, I am not crazy about the taste and mouth feel of MFF, so I mixed the two and am happy, good taste and mouth feel but lots of pliability, IMHO.
