Which MMF recipe do you use? And does it crack with all colors, or just deep colors?
Hi..it seems to be cracking with the darker colours. I didn't know there were different recipes for MMF. The one I use is just mini marshmallows, water and icing sugar. It also cracked when I added some candy melts. But both the fondant with the candy melts and without is cracking a little bit.
The best way to keep it from cracking when it's a darker color is to add the color to the melted marshmallows instead of trying to knead it in.
Here is my thought, I saw the words mini marshmallows. The minis have more surface area in comparison to size and therefore may not be as moist as the large ones. It's just a thought as I make MFF.
I add 2-3 drops of corn syrup to my mmf while kneading it (corn syrup makes it more pliable).
Hi ebear....I have had this problem several times and since making these few changes it really helped me. First I add a 1/4 cup crisco with the small marshmellows before melting them. And secondly and probably most important is mix the ps as you go. I rarely ever use a whole bag of it. Once my mmf becomes harder to kneed (harder than playdough) I do not add any more sugar. Let it sit for an hour and you should be good to go. You caqn also use crisco or roll it out with instead of cornstarch which can dry it out more. Good luck!!
What's MMF? I'm new here and trying to learn as much as I can.
