hi all, wondering if anyone can give me a tip for coloring mmf w/out creating air bubbles?...i have been kneading it like bread but w/ a lighter touch and still getting air...also, i'm still in need of a cream cheese butter cream recipe if anyone has one...one that doesn't call for any shortening...thanks in advance for your help...you guys are great! ![]()
I've been wondering how to knead mmf without getting the air bubbles also. I just keep a pin handy when I'm rolling it out, and pop the bubbles as I roll. Ever since I started that, I haven't found any bubbles after I get it onto the cake.
air bubbles? Are you letting it rest before each rigerous handling/ I haven't had any but I am really careful about not over handling it and if you know you want the whole thing a certain color add it right after you melt the marshmallows. That gives you the strongest color as well! hth
I also add the color to the liquid part of MMF. It's so much easier.
I would start with small pieces and work in the color in pieces. It cuts down on the work. I also try not to knead it like bread because that actually puts air bubbles in it. If you just fold it over and push it together and fold it over, etc. it seems to keep air bubbles from forming.
Once I get a pretty nice chunk of colored fondant I form it into a rope as well as the uncolored and line them up and wrap them together. Then work the colors in. This also helps eliminate some of the work.
