recipe to flavor it? I need strawberry MMF and I forgot to buy the dang flavoring. I have been searching through recipes.. but I can never find anything right when I need it !! GRRRR...
I have strawberry flavored gelatin.. just dont have time to experiment !!

Has anyone tried the gelatin? ANy ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

I haven't tried it. But I don't think it will work unless you dissolve it first, otherwise it will be grainy. I don't know what adding dissolved gelatin will do to the texture of the MMF....but I can't think of any reason it shouldn't work.

I think that i read somewhere on here that there is actually a recipe that uses flavored jello. Again, I think.....

That recipe is SophieBelle's. Go to the recipe tab and search for 'jello fondant' HTH

Have you tried using the jet puff brand strawberry flavored marshmallow to make the mmf? Maybe add a little more strawberry extract if you need a stronger flavor.

OMG !!! IT WORKED !!! I decided that I just had to give it a try and IT WORKED !!! It made the best fondant ever. It is so pliable and the flavor is intense. I only used half the jello packet. It is now "resting" and the smell is getting even stronger!! It smells like strawberry fields in my house right now !!

I am so psyched. Thanks for you suggestions and help. You guys have got to try the jello !!

edited to add: I added the jello to the hot marshmallow mixture. It was a little grainy at first, but the longer it sets, the less grainy it is becoming. There is no grainy-ness at this time.

I made the Lime flavored MMF and was not a fan of that flavor. I mixed it 50/50 with plain MMF in order to get a flavor I could stand. It sounds like you did that ratio from the other direction. I really should try some other flavors. Strawberry sounds great.

I am glad to know that this works. I wanted to try it but that thread I read all of the bad reviews on kept me from trying.

I tried the recipe about a year ago and it was beautiful until after the rest period, then it was very crumbly. I had to mix it with regular MMF to change the texture and be able to use it.

I added the jello packet to the hot marshmallow mixture. I did NOTdissolve it in water first. This thing is so cool. I cant believe how pliable it is !!

I have already decided to make my other nieces birthday cake Tropical fruit flavored !! I am looking forward to August to make it!! If I can wait that long.

My Jello flavored MMF recipe is now officially:
1 bag of mini marshmallows 10.5 oz.
3 tbs of water
3 cups of pwd sugar
1/2 pack of jello (any flavor)

1-2 cups of pwd sugar for kneading purposes.

Very cool! I'll have to try this myself sometime.
