I made rhonda's recipe using the corn syrup and lemon extract. Really tasty. Thanks Rhonda. I have always purchased Satin Ice before but wanted to try making it once.

What consistency should it be before I let it "rest" for the night?
Should it still be a wee bit tacky? I don't want it to get too dry like many have mentioned.

Also - do I add the color tonight or wait until the a.m.?

Thanks.

bumping myself up

I haven't made the Rhona's fondant but have made homemade fondant. I store it after I reached the same consistency I roll it out as. Is that clear?

I've never made mmf but would like to know also. BUMP

I wish I could help with an answer, but I've never made it. I would say that you should add however much of the recommended stuff, and if it's still some taking, then I would coat lightly in crisco and wrap tightly. Then you can gauge if you need to actually add more powder sugar (or whatever) to reduce tackyness.

Hope this helps some...

i made my first batch of MMF yesterday and well i just got it to the point that it should be for rolling out. I didn't use a recipe with syrup in it i used the water and marshmellow one... just water, marshmellows and then powd. sugar. I had to put it back in the microwave for short bursts to keep it soft enough to get all the powd sugar in, but... i tell ya it did work. I might check out the syrup recipe because it seems to me that the water recipe gets kind of dry and kind of looks different then I thought it should when it dried, but it worked for the purposed I needed it for.. so good enough
