It seems to work better for me if I roll up a ball of fondant about the size of a small ping pong ball and color it a brighter shade than what I want the finished color to be, then knead that ball into white fondant. I get less streaking and it doesn't get sticky.

I find that lightly coating my hands w/ crisco every few kneads helps with the stickyness.

I just knead in more powdered sugar...

There- 3 different solutions- one of them is bound to work!

i always wear food safe gloves.... wilton makes some. i tried generic gloves and it stuck to them, the food safe ones don't stick at all and your hands don't turn colors!
