In the wilton yearbook is a recipe for making fondant. Has anyone ever made this one. What kind of geltin are they talking about and do you get it from the grocery store. Does this fondant turn out like the kind you buy. I am wanting to try this recipe cause I am having a hard time with the mmf it tears so much easier than wilton fondant. It has to be something I am doing. Any extra tips would be great. Thanks for help. 
The Wilton book recipe is the one I tried at first. It worked, but I have played with it quite a bit and I like to use milk instead of water, butter instead of shortening, and I can add colors and flavors of my choosing.
As an extra tip, powdered gelatin and glycerin can be found at health food stores in larger quantities at much better prices. The glycerin is usually found near the lotions for people to make their own. Just make sure you get vegetable glycerin. The gelatin is found in the section for improving fingernails. It's all the same stuff as you can get in the grocery or cake supply store, just cheaper.
I tried it when I first started making fondant. The Knox powdered packaged in the grocery store is what you use. The glycerin I have only seen and bought at a craft store (Michaels). You can add color to your fondant after you remove it from the heat when you add the glycerin. You can also add after you make the fondant. Just knead in.
I hope the wilton recipe works for me. Quote by @%username% on %date%
