I am trying to model a chicken out of fondant, but the fondant will not stick together. I am trying to start with a ball, and can't even get the ball to stick togethe. It is leaving seams that seperate (hope this makes sense). Do I add more sugar or more water?
Sounds like there is something wrong with the fondant. You can try just moistening your hands to knead in a tiny bit of water, or try using shortening to knead it together.
the fondant should be a smooth dough. Once you have that, the fondant will stick together with a brush of water or even corn syrup.
What type of fondant are you using?
Since I was modeling, and it won't be eaten I am using Wilton Ready to Use, Rolled Fondant.
I have tried adding water, putting in microwave for 5 sec, and adding Shortening to my hands. It is getting better but not completely. i am afraid of adding too much water.
Help!!!
I would try to add some crisco to your hands and knead the fondant. This should make it more pliable!!
I always spray my work surface w/ cooking spray and knead my fondant onto that. I don't know if it will help, but good luck!
