Has anyone tried or know if you can add Tylose to Duff's fondant that you buy.. I have the Chocolate fondant and want to make a bow.. but dont know if you can add tylose to it. It seems like it is like a chocolate based fondant.. anyone know???
Thanks
The Duff chocolate fondant is really soft--you may need a lot of tylose to get it stiff enough to hold a bow shape.
I made a teddy bear for a baby shower cake from a mix of gumpaste & Duff chocolate fondant yesterday. It is reasonable firm today but not rock solid.

Duff's fondant has many times the normal amount of fat in it that you'll find in regular fondants. It's rather like a candy melts base.
In all honesty, I think adding a lot of tylose to it--or any other gum to aid in drying--is pretty fruitless. If the item stiffens, it's most likely due to cool temps rather than the proper action of they tylose. If the item gets too warm, it will still droop.
Fat beats gum, every single time.
It really is a fondant best suited to flat applications.

I'm not sure of this, but I did purchase the Duff stuff once and realized it's almost exactly the same as Fondarific. Perhaps they are the same? The only difference I saw is that the Duff is more expensive. The taste, texture and ingredients were the same. hmmmmm.....
Duff's fondant available at Michaels is Fondarific, repackaged. It tastes fine.
