Orange Rolled Fondant

Rolled Fondant is an icing substance that is rolled out and used as a covering for cake, which traditionally is first covered with a layer of marzipan or a thin layer of buttercream icing or apricot glaze to seal in flavor and the moisture of the cake. Cakes covered with rolled fondant can be decorated with royal or buttercream icing.

  • Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup orange juice, strained, fresh & ripe

  • 1 1/2 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
