I have a client who wants to use MMF on her next cake. I recently did one for her, and she said the MMF was OK, but she would like it to be sweeter.
In the past, I tried using more powdered sugar, but it turned out crumbly. I find that I only need a little over a pound, any more than that, and the crumbles begin.
Any tips on sweetening the fondant or avoiding the crumbles?
She wants her next cake this coming Sunday, so I hope to have an answer by this eve.
Thanks for any input!

WOW I can't imagine anyone wanting MMF sweeter! That must be one big sweet tooth! icon_lol.gif You can flavor it with oils, or you could add some crisco to stop the crumbling.

Try adding more liquid than it calls for, I did that without meaning to last night and had to use the whole bag of sugar which is something I've never done before.

I can't believe she wants it sweeter. icon_eek.gificon_surprised.gif Yuck.

Like Molly2 said, add some flavoring. You can add some vanilla, or some other flavorings . . . creme bouquet, or marshmallow flavoring, or some of the other lorann oils . . . something sugary tasting. Some people like the orange flavored ones, but if this woman wants sweet, i'd go for a sugary syrupy tasting flavor.

Maybe mine isn't that sweet. Like I said, I only wind up using about half the sugar the recipe calls for. I'll try adding more liquid and see if I can add more sugar. But I agree, it's some pretty sweet stuff. It's her teenage daughter that wants it sweeter. Glad I'm not paying her dentist bills!
