Crystal1983...one tip I would like to pass on is...don't use all of the powered sugar the recipe asks for. I usually have about 2 cups left in the bag of powered sugar. This will save you a lot of frustration if you are making fondant for the first time.

Good luck icon_biggrin.gif

Just know that it takes some getting used to. I tried the MMF a couple of times before I got the hang of it. I would stress letting it rest for a little while. I coat the outside of it with some powder sugar (so it won't stick to the bag) and then put it in a ziplock bag. If you don't have time, just make sure that you have your surface nicely coated with powder sugar (which I use) or corn starch.

Good Luck!
