cracking. I swear I have tried alot of stuff to correct the problem but it keeps coming out the same way.
I love MMF and it's cheap to make, so i am sticking with this stuff. I just need some tips. If I add crisco it's too soft and tears. If i add powdered sugar to a good consistency it seems perfect until I lay it on the cake and then it cracks. I am clueless. Any tips, ideas or anything would be so helpful!! Thanks guys!!
Try adding less powdered sugar. I usually leave about a cup in the bag. Also, use cornstarch on your board when you roll it out instead of more powdered sugar. That is what I do and I haven't had any problems. Hope that helps!
The weather is horrible on the mmf. Sometimes when I used it I would get a batch like that and would pitch it and start a new one. I have used mmf until recently and I tried the MFF. It is way better and is about the same cost. It was so much easier to work with and a bettter finish.
Are you using the jet puffed marshmallows? I used them one time, and that happened...............so don't use the jet puffed! ANd yes, the humidity here in the South is horrible sometimes for fondant!!!!!!!
Good luck!!
Corn syrup. I was having difficulties off and on with marshmallow fondant until I started adding a little corn syrup to it. It improves flexibility and lessens cracking. If you add too much, you will get elephant skin. If that happens, knead in a little powdered sugar to bring it back to the right consistency.

I do the same thing except when I roll it out, I smear a little shortening on the counter instead of cornstarch or powdered sugar. I've haven't had any problems doing it this way.
hwords for you...MICHELE FOSTER'S FONDANT.
I could not believe how perfect that stuff came out, absolutely amazing. Way better tasting and pliable! I have done blind taste tests on my family and it gets great reviews.
