How To Use Fondant After Resting Overnight
Decorating By chudimac11 Updated 18 Feb 2017 , 4:27pm by leah_s
I keep trying to make my own fondant because I'm determined to get it right. I normal have no problems in the kitchen so I don't know why I have so much trouble with this. So this is the third time I've tried Michele Foster's recipe. The second time I tried to use immediately without resting and that was a disaster. So like before, it has rested overnight, saran wrapped tightly multiple times and put into a gallon bag. It's very hard, last time, I had to microwave quickly to really work with it because kneading wasn't enough. I've read the microwave should be the last resort. So my question is, is this normal and how do others get the fondant back to a nice consistency to work with?
I make my own fondant and gumpaste on every cake. My recipe is simply marshmallow and powdered sugar. I don't know where you got that info on using the microwave as a last resort, I use the microwave A LOT when my fondant gets too hard and it does that often no matter if I cover it or not. Usually do 5 sec or 10 sec increments until it's warm and soft. Then I knead it with a little bit of crisco to get it nice and malleable.
