Ok, I tried to make the mmf recipe that is on the site (which by the way tastes great with the vanilla candy melts), and it says 2 lbs of powdered sugar. well, I mixed and I mixed and I didn't use all of the powdered sugar. Is this ok?I rolled it out with no problems, it does seem a little dry but it is still very pliable and doesn't seem to crack or anything when I bend it. I have the mmf seperated and rolled into 2 sheets which I will be putting on my cake in a little while (still have to make the buttercream icing to put on the cakes). This is a trial run on the bridal shower cake I'm doing sunday like a mini-wedding cake, and i've never done fondant of any kind before (I know, great time to start trying huh..lol). Anyway, will this mmf be ok, or should I just try to go another route altogether because I'll never get it...HELP. Thanks in advance guys.

When I did a practice MMF cake a few months ago, I couldn't get all of the sugar mixed in either.
I just left the extra in the bottom of the bowl. the mmf turned out great. I think you should be fine.

I did not use the amount of powdered sugar it says to use either....just keep adding it till it feels right to ya....I only added about a bag and a quarter to the stuff I made...turned out great!!!! If it tastes good and feels the right consistency, then ya probly got it!!! Good luck and post pics when yer done!!!

It will be OK. I find that alot of people don't put all of the PS in, maybe about 1 - 3/4# or so. If it seems a little dry, use a little Crisco, either on your hands, the table, the rolling pin, etc. That will keep it from drying out.

It seemed dry when i took it out of the bowl, but after i rolled it, it felt soft to the touch so i'm hopefu, l that that's the way it's supposed to be. Is it? Or should I go ahead and rub a little crisco on it?

Sounds fine. But if you feel like it's still dry, rub your hands with Crisco and then knead it again.

Yep - depends on the weather - i was only able to use the whole 2# once. Normally i only use about 1 1/2.
