So I just made my first mmf. It's currently hanging out in plastic wrap resting up.

Now, I didn't have a 16 oz bag, and really, I don't need that much for what I want to do. However, how do you know you've added enough powdered sugar?? I've never played with, ate, seen in person fondant, so I don't really know what the consistency is supposed to be like.

It seems ok, but depending on how I manipulate it, there are some sticky parts. I know it'll have some kind of sticky to it to be binding and not ripping, but I'm just not 100%

Thanks!! I'm off to make my buttercream.

I always look for a consistency a tinny bit softer than play dough.

it might help you to look for "marshmallow fondant" on youTube. watch a few videos of what it looks like, how people make it, and how people handle it. don't be discouraged, there's a bit of a learning curve especially if you've never encountered it before.

I'm going to have to try and remember what the constancy of play-doh feels like or find a kid to borrow their stash! hahahah

I watched a few on youtube which really got me on the "i can totally do this!" boat

Thank you both for your posts!

It worked out ok!!! I have some left over from what I was using them for and am probably going to play with it next week and see what stuff I can make with it. Flowers or figures or what not.

The book turned out great!
