Be sure to put w/e you're covering on a cooling rack above a large bowl to catch all the excess.

It depends on the application. For cookies, it works great. For petit fours it is often very transparent. You may want a second coat. You can also make it more opaque by adding some melted white chocolate.

If the surface of what you are pouring over, isn't very very smooth, the poured fondant will reveal any imperfections.

Joann B,

I like your idea of adding white chocolate so that the poured fondant is not transparent. The last time I made petit fours, I had this problem (tranparent).

Thanks icon_smile.gif
