Fondant - Just Figured Out A Quick And Easy Tip!!!!
Decorating By cheekymonkey06 Updated 10 Jul 2009 , 10:20pm by artscallion
I made three batches of fondant last night in under 45 minutes and that includes coloring two of the batches. Usually I knead my fondant on my kitchen table. This is the part of cake making that I usually dread because the clean up is such a pain. I decided to try and make the process a little more efficient and clean-up friendly.
Instead of kneading the fondant directly on the table, I used a casserole dish! I covered the work area (where I would be kneading the fondant) with plastic wrap and placed a large casserole dish on top of the plastic wrap. The plastic wrap helped prevent slipping and caught excess sugar that might poof out from time to time. When it was time to clean up, I popped the casserole dish in the sink and tossed the saran wrap. Voila! No muss no fuss!
That's a great idea! I am lazy and make my fondant with the mixer 
but I bet a casserole dish would be easier to clean than the mixer bowl.
Nice! That sounds much easier! I might have to try that today
When I was thinking bout making mmf and watched a few videos they always turning it out onto the counter or table. I did NOT want to clean that up, so I went to a resturant place that was open to the public. Bought the biggest metal bowl they had. IT IS THE BEST for mmf.

Do you grease your dough hook and mixer bowl first? Someone recommended that. I tried it and cleanup became a breeze.
