The Jello Fondant Was A Hit!

Finally, something to use my glycerine with! I bought a couple of bottles while they were on sale and have'nt used them once! I was ready to use them in snowglobes just to tell hubby "see?... I did need them!" 
Definately add the glycerine if you're going to cover the cake with it! I didn't and it was a disaster
, it cracked and just fell apart on the cake, so I had to scrap it and use Pettinice instead. So be aware - don't end up wasting money like me by having to trash the lot - add the glycerine!!!!!
I'm sorry this happened to you, but I also want to say that I didn't use glycerin in the fondant for the Easter cake in my pictures and the ball of fondant in my pictures. I was testing the recipe and wanted to see what would happen. It needs to be kneaded with shortening until it's smooth.
Heath kindly made the glucose correction for me and the recipe is showing up on the front page for right now.

I kneaded it really well, but I did have it hanging around for a few days before using it, maybe that changed it's texture? I used it on some Easter egg cookies a few days before and it was fine. The jello in this country is also a bit weird (it sets really quickly!), I've made gelatine fondant with sheet/powdered geletine lots of times with no problem - so my guess is that it's the jello. I'm certainly not blaming you!
I can tell you that the one I covered the Easter cake with had been made about five days before I did the cake. I had wrapped it in plastic wrap then stored it in a plastic snap-top container.
I want to see the cake with the jello fondant.
I just bought some raspberry Jello today because I've heard great things about this fondant! Can't wait to try it!

See?! If bobwonderbuns has heard great things about it, it definitely deserves more than three stars!
Thanks for all the sweet pm's, by the way. I love you guys.
SophieBelle's Easter cake is in her photos. It is absolutely beautiful. Look how smooth and beautiful the jello fondant is on that cake. She really did a fantastic job.......
Butternut is my bud! Your check is in the mail, hun.

Yep, I'm really looking forward to trying it!!
Glucose can be found at most cake decorating stores and also in the Wilton aisle at michaels or JoAnns. If you cannot find it ususally you can substitute corn syrup for it, but I'm not sure if it would work in this recipe.
Oh my gosh! So excited to give a try! Thanks!
Please could someone tell me where to find .
Thanks
superstar, you can find the glucose in the cake sections of any stores that carry Wilton stuff, even Wal-Marts. I believe you can get it on this site, too.
And culinarycreations, the actual color was a light green. It doesn't look that way in the gallery, though. Others have been asking me about that, but so far I haven't found a Jello flavor that is clear.
culinarycreations, yeah, I would think the amounts would be off, but you could add flavorings to another fondant recipe. I've seen people on here say that they do that. If you had to have white fondant, you'd have to do that unless we find a colorless jello to slip into this recipe. I really like the flavor choices with the jello and the price is right!
Doesn't Jell-o have a white grape flavored gelatin? I thought I saw it at the store a while back. It's clear.
I think they may, and I had a Pina Colada Jello at a friend's house once and it was white as snow. I left her a phone message to see where she bought it and hopefully it was just the box - hoping that she didn't add anything to it. It was tasty, I remember thinking "white jello? Wierd.", now I'd almost pay her to find it! I'll be sure to pass it on if I get it, I'll also be double checking the grocery store selections now! If this tastes good and restores my faith in the taste of fondant, I'll just have to make every color in the rainbow and have a kitchen full of fondant! Thank you again for sharing!
Now that you say it, I think I might remember a white grape flavor. I haven't seen it recently, though. You guys let me know if you get it in another part of the country!
The margarita flavor I used on the Easter cake is not available in my grocery store right now, and I think the pina colada flavor was out at the same time as that one.

If you go here you can pick the color and it will tell you what flavors come in that color.

OMG!!! 
My chest and bottom just tightened - they have a white color cheesecake and white chocolate flavours!!!!! Okay, now I'm really excited about trying this recipe!!!! 
The jello is what gives it it's flavor, correct? Could plain geletain be used and then just add clear flavors? Or..would the amounts be off...There's got to be a way...
Regular old fondant is made with plain gelatin, she has just added the twist of using flavored gelatin to make it extra nummy! If you want to make it with plain, you can use the Wilton recipe and there will be no flavor unless you add vanilla/almond,etc.

White chocolate Jell-O??? I thought that was only the pudding that came in that flavor...
Alright I need to get home to try this recipe. I am so mad that I did not bring my KA with me to my son's home. Will be here till the end of the year. Helping with grand daughter while he is in the "Desert".
Be careful guys... don't lose your noodle yet... the white chocolate, etc. only applies to pudding. Not jell-o gelatin!
Shoot 
- got all excited for nothing! (I'm going to have that engraved on my headstone - story of my life!) Still, they do have Pina Colada! When I see all the slabs of MMF leftover on plates I will try anything for a better flavour. I have tried adding different flavour extracts, but yet to find anything that's really good. The Princess Cake and Cookie emulsion is good, but there's the issue of availability. Anyway as previously mentioned, you can't beat the price of jello! I'm willing to give it a go -
