After letting it set you have to knead, knead, knead to make it soft again. It some times helps to zap it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds then knead, knead, knead. If it doesn't get any easier, add some corn syrup to it and knead some more!! Good luck.

The recipe I use is similar to yours, just remember that you don't have to use all the powdered sugar. When it reaches a consistency you are happy with, stop adding ps, rub with shortening, and let it rest.

Je recommande cette recette: http://cakecentral.com/recipe/rhondas-ultimate-mmf

Et voice un bon video pour comprendre la methode et arriver a la bonne texture: http://www.thetwistedsifter.com/video-makingfondant.php

Il faut aussi toujours petrir le fondant pendant quelques minutes avant de l'utiliser.

J'utilise la meme recette, mais je ne mets pas le sac (2 lbs/8 tasses) de sucre en poudre au complet, environ les 3/4 je dirais. Je mets la moitié, je m'assure que c'est bien incorpore et j'ajoute du sucre jusqu'à ce que je puisse en faire une boule. Ensuite je pétris en ajoutant du sucre jusqu'à ce que ça ne soit plus collant. Bien emballer et laisser reposer quelques heures au moins, ne pas réfrigérer. Si la recette au complet doit être de la même couleur, j'ajoute la couleur aux guimauves fondues. Ne pas trop faire cuire les guimauves, faire des intervalles de 30 secs au micro-ondes, c'est suffisant.

I use the same simple recipe but I don't use the whole bag of sugar - about 3/4 of a 2 lbs bag in all. In fact, I add half of the bag to the melted marshmallows, insure that it is well incorporated and I keep adding until it starts forming a ball. Then I knead while adding PS until it is not sticky anymore. Wrap up carefully and let rest a few hours. Do not refrigerate. If the whole batch will be the same color, I add it right after the marshmallows are melted, much easier at that stage. Do not "cook" the marshmallows, warm them up in the microwave 30 secs at the time.

Best of luck icon_smile.gif
