I thought I would give the MMF a shot and it was very dry. I had a very hard time incorporating all the powdered sugar. I threw it in the microwave to soften it some and that didn't help. I ended up throwing it in the trash. I've had good luck with the RBC, so I'll do that for now. But does anyone know how to remedy the very dry MMF so that it's workable??
Thanks!
From my experience, you should NOT use the total amount of powdered sugar that the recipe states. I find using about 1 1/2 lbs, rather than the full 2 lbs works much better. HTH
I have found too that MMF is harder in the winter time than in the summer . My wilton instuctor told me that is was more difficult to work with in the cold weather so when I made some a while back I experienced it for myself . In the summer it is so much easier to work with. HTH 
and a nightmare is what I had! I will try again in a couple of days and work in some Crisco. I was just so frustrated with it and started that after spending all morning cleaning the water from my basement. My patiences... let's just say I didn't have any!
I'm so glad that I found this thread. I just tried to make a small batch of MMF to make some flowers and I am having trouble rolling it and not having it completely stick to the rolling surface. Could anyone give me some tips or suggestions??? Will crisco make it come up easier?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tania
I have made MMF many, many times and I have never used all the sugar called for. Each time you make it will be differant due to weather changes. You should just add enough sugar so that it is not sticky but still workable. I like mine to be just a tad sticky, then I wrap it in suran wrap and let it sit overnight. The next day it is usually perfect.
As far as rolling it out, it is best to put down a thin layer of crisco on your surface and to roll it out on a Silpat.
