Awesome Fondant recipe.. Thank You. I have hated the taste of ready mades and for some reasons othr recipes I tried dont really taste good either... Thanks again.

To the girl that cant find glucose, try the craft stores I get mine at JoAnn etc. or just use corn syrup. If you use corn syrup though take out 1/2tsp. It is a little more runny than glucose....

I made this 2 days ago. I found it was extremely soft so I ended up using a lot more icing than is required for this recipe. It was very delicious.
