Problems With Duff Fondant......?!?!
Decorating By Daniellemhv Updated 16 Nov 2011 , 5:04am by scp1127
I make a lot of little fondant figures and such and recently i've found that I prefer using store bought fondant instead of making my usual MMF. I hate mixing colors and attempting reds and blacks....
I've been buying the wilton fondant but hate that it comes in such small amounts. I stumbled across duff fondant with a 50% coupon so thought it was a great deal for red and blacks especially. It tastes great! I made some elmo toppers with it and it doesn't dry!! It's definitely hard to the touch but even after almost a week I can still squash it?! I made the same thing with wilton fondant and after a day it was much more solid and dried than the duff fondant. Has anyone else had issues such as this? I tried adding tylose powder to the duff fondant and it did help but.... still not as dry as the wilton. and that bums me out.
duff fondant is fonarrific fondant and yes it does not set up. I t works good on bows though they look more realistic. I prefer wilton for figurines,but i also order my fondant from desirees fondant in washington state. they are very reasonable and will match any color you need and shipping is only $5! there fondant is great for covering and making figutines and it tastes good too.
Did u try mixing it with gumpaste.. 50/50.. It will set up hard then
That is why I LOVE Fondarific fondant cause it doesn't 100% set. But if you add gumpaste to it it will harden.
I'm with carolina. I think that's why it gets eaten. It is always a perfect consistency for eating. And in my business, taste is the priority. As a relative novice in decorating, it is the easiest to work with for me. I do small figures, but I found that they got eaten too. I love that.
