Never flavored fondant before -- when do I add it?

Thanks for the tips!

well I flavor my fondant all the time. I just add the flavoring on top of my vanilla. I have used peppermint and Lorann's oil pina colada flavored or lemon or any flavor that you want. It's not enough liquid to make a difference in the consistency of the MMF

When I make my mmf I can never get it to take the full 2lbs of sugar, so when I flavor it I just add a bit more powder sugar....

I just extract or the oils...whatever I have around!

oops sorry shoulda read all the way through the post there. you add the flavoring when you add the water and melt the marshmallows

Do you have to add a lot of flavour to get past the super-sweet fondant taste?

You can kneed in the concentrated oils to premade fondant as well.

nah not really. you add just the same amount as you would with anything else like 1 tsp or a coupla drops of the oils (a little goes a long way).

Do you know the shelf life on flavored oils? I was cleaning out a drawer and found a strawberry oil, unopened, way in the back. I don't remember buying it, so who knows how long its been there!!!

Can anyone tell me where to buy these oils? I live in a tiny town and I've never seen flavour oils around here.

Craft stores have a small selection, for a huge selection you have to go to a candy/cakes decorating store. I f there are not any around you, try online. "Lorane" oils I feel work the best, but there are some other brands...

Okay, thanks
