😱Omg!😱 I understand why you don't like making fondant😂😅😂 I tried it today and it was a mess! I had fondant coming out of my wazu and although I greased my hands, bowls, hooks, work space the goo got all over everything! Would I make it again? Yes, I would.
Right?! It's a love / hate relationship. I really get annoyed when I have to make it because I know I will have to wipe the entire kitchen down top to bottom. But it's worth it in the end!
I imagine you would make a day of making fondant just so you don't have to do it so frequently...😂
Thank you! Now i will start making my own fondant. Love all your tutorial videos. You are amazing and you explained everything so thoroughly. Thank you for all your teachings

Best fondant video ever!
Awww thanks boo!
Ur videos are game changers!
I love this!! Thank you! *flips hair* 🤣🤣
This is a great tutorial. The best marshmallow recipe. THANKS a lot
You're welcome! It really is so good!
I cant even tell you how exciting it is that i can try fondant!
I have Celiac Disease, so no gluten, cross comtamination - and can't do rice...and it seems like all commerical brands have one of those.
We are trying this in the next 10 mins. Cant wait 😁
I hope you love it as much as I do!
I love your cakes and decorations too❤
Thank you , I am definitely going to try this ! In the UK corn syrup is less easy to purchase in stores so I am hoping liquid glucose will work the same 🤞
Let me know how it turns out!
Hi Karolyn😀 what is the purpose of adding the corn suryp to the fondant?
Awesome!! I’m going to try it Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your recipe I made a happy meal box shape cake and it turned out very nice with your fondant it hold very well ☺️👍🏻😊
That's a fun cake to make! I'm glad it worked well for you :)
Perfect recipe, thank you for sharing 👍😊
Great video. Thank you!!
You're welcome Tierra!
thanks for sharing this video. I plan to make the cake for Saturday. when I'm done decorating the cake with fondant, how do I store it properly if made the day before of event? ty
Do you refrigerate your cakes? If so, this explains it!
th-cam.com/video/vBKi-O7v98w/w-d-xo.html
I'm very surprised that you don't flavor it at all. I'm a hobbyist so I don't either, but if I were selling, I would use some combination of butter flavor, vanilla, cream bouquet, & salt. It tastes incredible. I've even experimented with actual butter & vanilla...the absolute best!
CakerBaker 99 I actually like the taste of it on its own! I used to add butter and vanilla. I’ll try that out again, thank you for the suggestion!
At what point would you add a flavor to the fondant? Thanks!
I have some cream of bouquet I'm going to try it thanks.
Wouldn't flavoured fondant potentially clash with the cake and buttercream icing flavour? Would you have to use the same flavour for both?
How long can you save it? N how do u save it? FYI …. I loveeeeeee ur videos! U make it so easy to understand ❤️
Thank you! I keep it wrapped in plastic wrap and sealed in an airtight container at room temperature. It lasts 2-3 weeks like that. I use so much of it that I don't ever keep it longer than 3 weeks. I have heard that some people will refrigerate it or freeze it up to 2 months. But I never did that myself, so I'm not sure what effect (if any) it has on the fondant.
@@KarolynsKakes thx hun ! That helps❤️
Great video as always Karolyn. I am new at this and my question is, how do you clean the fondant after you've rolled it? It gets "dirty" from the corn starch, etc. Is there a quick fix? Thank you!!
Corn starch doesn't make it dirty, it can dry it out a little bit. I can only use fondant a handful of times before I have to toss it. But if your work area is clean, the fondant will be clean too!
I think she meant removing the excess corn starch... a small somewhat fluffy paint brush to dust it off, or I have seen her use crisco to help remove it.
I’m from Australia do you know what marshmallow is best ?
Thanks for sharing! What would you do if your fondant doesn't stretch. It just kinda breaks apart when you try ro stretch it? Is it recoverable?
You need to add Tylose powder! I show how to get it stretchy in this video:
th-cam.com/video/yZTS1KoBuXk/w-d-xo.html
@@KarolynsKakes Thank you for your response! I'll check it out :)) and another quick question!: What's the purpose of adding the corn syrup to the fondant mix? I had used it in a recipe for caramel and couldn't understand it's purpose there either lol
@@KarolynsKakes So I watched it and noticed that the fondant you made cracked more than I would say it tore (even tho it did tear but it had give to it). I think I may not have described my scenario well. Basically what happened with my fondant is that when I tried to stretch it, it IMMEDIATELY tore, like there was no stretch to it at all. Think of it making almost a snapping sound when I tried to stretch it...does that make sense? Do I still add tylose? Is it recoverable?

Thanks for sharing your technique
How long we can keep this fondant.
I mean any expiry???
You can keep it wrapped up and stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. After that, I recommend freezing it up to 2 months!
Wow you make that look so easy , Do you know how I could make the fondant glow in the dark ? My son's birthday party theme is a Neon Glow After Dark party , I thought it would be cool if his cake glowed in the dark too , any tips is greatly appreciated ! T.I.A
Hi! Thank you for sharing. I really like your videos. I made my first marshmallow fondant and it's not stretching. Maybe too dry? Can I do anything with it?
Hi Aranka! Sounds like you added too much powdered sugar to the mixture. You can try to add some liquid to it, I would put it in the microwave to soften it and put it back in the bowl with the dough hook attachment and add a little bit of water. Also, the tylose powder will help if you have it. You may have to start again with another batch if that doesn't work.
@@KarolynsKakes
Thank you!
OMG you're hilarious!! 😂 thank you, thank you! I've been waiting for this video!!! Going to give it a shot today.
This is for you!! LOL
Let me know how it turns out!
@@KarolynsKakes THANK YOU!! will do! 😊😃
Turned out perfect!! Made the best of my day off and made another batch of your buttercream and the fondant. I normally don't cover my cakes in fondant, only use it to make fondant decorations, but i think that's about to change. 😊 thanks again for sharing!
c Arecibo that makes me so happy to hear!! 💜🎂
Hi there. If you’re using several colors of fondant how do you color those? Which is the best coloring product? Thank you!!
Hi! I prefer Americolor gel colors, here's an old video I made where I show how to color the fondant: th-cam.com/video/KBQHdFflG9c/w-d-xo.html
Wonderful. Thank you SO much
Can I add flavouring at the wet marshmallow stage?
If so, oil or water based best?
Yes! Water based would be best.
I just made my first batch of black fondant and red fondant. How long after I make it can it be used?
I usually make it the day before. If I had to use the same day, I would let it sit (wrapped up) for about 2 hours before I used it.
Loved your video, could you use this fondant for small decorations.
Thank you Susie! Yes, I do it all the time. I always add a little Tylose or CMC powder to the fondant. It helps stiffen it up and makes it easier to work with.
Hi Karolyn thank you for sharing with us. Its appreciated. Can you tell me the weight of the bag of powdered sugar and marshmallows please. In UK we dont have those brands so dont know the weights used.
Sure, it's approx. 450 grams marshmallows and 907 grams powdered sugar.
@@KarolynsKakes thank you. i will give it a try.
How do you keep your fondant decorations from cracking? Does the Tylose powder help with that?
Hey karolyn, Do you put tylose powder right after making the marshmallow fondant?
Yes I do! Here's the updated recipe video!
th-cam.com/video/iTAzMgpJc9M/w-d-xo.html
Hi karolyn can you please tell me a alternative to corn syrup has we can't get that here in uk. Love your videos. Thanks Pat uk
Thank you! I wasn’t sure so I looked up what you have out there. Do you have golden syrup? That seems like a good option. It may alter the taste and color though. Please let me know if that works!
Quick question when u add tylose does it make the Fondant on cake rock hard?
When I cover a cake with fondant, I only add a little bit of Tylose (about 1 tsp per 2 pounds) so it doesn't dry rock hard.
@@KarolynsKakes thank u!!!! Thank you 😊 💓 ☺
Thank you so much for the helpful information! I think KitchenAid owes you a new mixer!
I’m totally up for that! They can send me one whenever that want! 🤣
I like the sound it made while u were kneading it 😂😂😂
OMG 😂😂😂😂
Girl I will be trying your marshmallow fondant real soon I would like to know if I can put a flavoring and when to put it PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANKS😊
Yes you can! I've added vanilla before. I usually mix it into the melted marshmallows before I add it to the powdered sugar.
@@KarolynsKakes THANK YOU!!😊
It would be great if you could write out a recipe for the marshmallow fondant because I can’t find it an actual link anywhere
U make it look easy, I tried making this and it was terrible 🤦🏼♀️ I’ll give your recipe a go b4 I call it a day 😊
You need to try it a few times to get it right! The amount of liquid you add will all depend on the humidity and how much sugar is absorbed. It gets easier with practice, I promise!
How long can you keep it after you make it?
It usually keeps for 2-3 weeks, wrapped up really well and stored in an airtight container at room temp. I've heard that people freeze it, but I never did that because I go through so much of it.
Do you use this to cover cakes? If so, do you add the Tylose powder? It seems too stretchy to use to cover cakes. Satin ice is much more firm but with give to it.
I do cover cakes with this and, yes, I do add a little tylose powder to it. It helps to smooth it out!
Here's a video I made on that subject :)
th-cam.com/video/yZTS1KoBuXk/w-d-xo.html
Hi, me again batch # 2 seems to be much better than the 1st. How long do I leave it sit before it can be used. Thank you again for your help.
I make it at least the day before I need it. But if you need it soon, I'd wait like 2 hours for it to settle. That should be enough time.
Does this marshmallow fondant not dry out as fast as regular pre-made fondant? I’m a novice and have been using the one from the box but I feel like it dries out so quickly and when I add shortening it really doesn’t remove the cracks. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I love your videos.
It definitely doesn't dry out as fast as the ones I've bought in a box.
Just make sure you keep it wrapped up and in an airtight container!
I've never made my own. But it definitely looks to be alot softer and more pliable compared to storebought ones. I also feel like it doesn't work when you add shortening to store-bought. It also seems to stretch out easier. Seems like when you make your own it's alot easier to work with. Lol. Have you ever made your own since your comment was 2 years ago?
Do you leave the fondant in the container out or in the fridge
I keep it wrapped in plastic, then in a plastic ziplock bag, and store that at room temperature in an airtight container.
Can you use a regular mixer you think
You really need something with a dough hook attachment.
I've also seen people do it by hand (pour sugar onto countertop and add the melted marshmallow on top and knead it together), but that creates a big mess!
How long do you keep in the fridge for?
I usually don't refrigerate unused fondant. I keep it at room temperature in a ziplock bag, and store that in an airtight container. It's usually good up to 2 weeks. You can freeze it up to 3 months if you'd prefer! To thaw, keep it wrapped up in the ziplock bag and leave at room temperature overnight.
Hi Karolyn, what is the purpose of adding corn suryp? Thank you💕
It keeps the fondant hydrated and makes it more pliable 😊
Do you have a recipe for this or am I missing it? Thank you.
So when do u add the tylose powder?
Is tylose powder the same as cmc powder?
I usually add it before I roll it out. You have to wait (usually around 15-20 minutes) after you add it so it can work its magic.
It's basically the same thing as CMC, I believe CMC is stronger so you don't need as much. But I've never personally used CMC, so that is just what I've heard,
how long can you store fresh fondant?
I go through a lot of it, so I usually don't have it around for more than 3 weeks. Make sure you wrap it up in plastic wrap, place it in a ziplock bag, then put that in an airtight container!
Have you ever tried black cocoa to your buttercream
I've added milk chocolate cocoa, but not black 😊
I made the fondant and added red color but was not stretching,do you think the color affected its elasticity?
Yes, if you add a lot of coloring, it affects the consistency. Did you add it to the marshmallows before you added that to the sugar? Or did you add it after you made white fondant?
If you add the coloring to the marshmallows, you can just add a little more powdered sugar until you get it mixing to the right consistency.
If you add a lot of color to white fondant, then I would add tylose powder to it to help it stiffen up a bit.
How do u makes chocolate balls and color them gold?
Karolyn, how large of a cake will a single batch of your fondant cover?
I have covered a 10" cake (5" high) with 1 batch🙂
@@KarolynsKakes thanks...very helpful!
Have used chocolate modeling clay? Made with chocolate(any color) melts.If not, why not?
I have once before, I can't even remember what for. It wasn't bad, but the chocolate can get soft / warm from working with it. I'm just so used to using marshmallow fondant and I'm really good at it, so that's what I stick with!
Would any brands of food coloring work with fondant?
I have used many different brands of gel coloring and I haven't had issues with any of them, so I would say yes!
Hey girl, Do you know how many batches I need to cover a 9" 3 layer cake thanks!
You can do that with just 1 batch! :)
@@KarolynsKakes Ok Thank you so much I just made your marshmallow navy fondant it came out good I'm making a space jam cake for a client next week Thank you again for answering quickly!😄
I made this fondant and it was delicious. However, it was extremely sticky. I couldn’t smooth the fondant without it sticking to the fondant smoother. How could I fix that? Also, how do I get the fondant to firm after covering a cake? My fondant never firmed as it set at room temperature (covered).
Sounds like you needed to add a little more powdered sugar to it. Here’s a video I made on getting it to the right consistency!
How to Get Smooth Fondant | DON'T COVER A CAKE UNTIL YOU DO THIS! th-cam.com/video/yZTS1KoBuXk/w-d-xo.html
About how long should you knead it before wrapping it up.
Just until it's smooth, I do about 20 seconds or so.
I don't put corn syrup in mine and it's just perfect
What do you do to the fondant so it can hold in hot days?
I’ll add some Tylose (CMC / GumTex) powder so it stabilizes.
Thank you. What is the purpose of cornsirup
It makes it a little more pliable.
Ok... Ya got to me....
I will try fondant! Well try again that is. After making a cake for a birthday party,, I had a request for a graduation cake,.
First thing that popped in my head was fondant covered cake to look like a graduation cap. So I was interested we she asked for a cake to look like a hat.
So here is my question... For a say 3-4 layer barrel cake, to look like a graduation cap, how much would you charge?
I can't tell you how much to charge, this video explains it!
th-cam.com/video/xJ_Vw86Ufok/w-d-xo.html
Hi, where do they sell that marshmallow?
I get marshmallows at any store like Target, Walmart, grocery stores, etc.
I am not sure where you can buy Marshmallow Fondant that is already made.
What was the brand of the food color did u use?
I use Americolor Super Black, I linked it below for ya. :)
Can glucose syrup be a substitute for the mmf?
I've never worked with it, but I don't think it would be a good substitute. If you try it and have success, please let me know!
Yes you can use Glucose to sub for the corn syrup. I live in a very hot and humid country and glucose is the better choice for me in the consistency of my MMF as opposed to corn syrup where it gets very tacky .
@@christineh777 ok.thanks will try it.
@@christineh777 thank you for the info!
Any flavour add in fondant while making fondant?
You definitely can! I used to add vanilla, but I found that it's not really necessary (for me). But if you want it to have a flavor, add 1/2 - 1 tsp flavoring to the melted marshmallow mixture before you add it to the sugar.
@@KarolynsKakes do you add white color in marsmallow fondant during melting marsmallow?
@@Nusrat-l3v I personally don't, but you absolutely can do that!
@@KarolynsKakes Thankyou so much...so nice of you💖
When do you add Taylor’s powder
I usually add it right after I make the entire batch when I’m kneading it before I wrap it up
If wrapped tightly and placed in a sealed container, how long should a batch keep?
I think it will be good for 3-4 weeks! I use so much of it that I haven't had to keep it that long, but as long as it's airtight and wrapped well, it should last!
Ok...I do t need it for about 10 days. Wish me luck I’m going to dive in and give this a try!
Ok Karolyn....certainly not the most fun thing I’ve ever done. Hard on the mixer and cleanup is “challenging”, but it is much more cost effective. Looking forward to tasting. First batch came out pretty soft, but second batch (dyed red) was much more firm. Neither batch ended with the fondant attaching to the dough hook....that worries me a bit.
@@Jagdragon add some more powdered sugar!
Karolyns Kakes Yep...that’s what I did on the red. Sneaked a taste of it this morning. WAY better taste than the store bought stuff!! I think I need two full batches of yellow to re-create the water hose like on your baby shower fireman Kake. What ya think?
Your recipe is the ONLY ONE I'll use now for my fondant. Every single recipe that I've tried that wasn't yours turned into a total CLUSTERF@*K! I love all of your videos and I'd be lost without you here in my kitchen with me! Thank you so much. What you do here, I know, really helps others.🥰I didn't realize that I'm on my husbands YT account. OOPS!
I love this so much!! You're welcome!!
I tried your recipe and it didn’t come out. I’ll try again.😮
Oh no! This video may help:
th-cam.com/video/1Ol4-c2fNBY/w-d-xo.html
Can you make these fondant in advance and storage in buckets
Yes! I do that all the time. Keep them wrapped in plastic wrap and in an airtight container. :)
If theres no tylose powder ...what can we use instead
You really need Tylose powder, CMC powder, Gum Tex powder. I don't believe that there are substitutes for these. If you can't find any, then you may be able to mix some fondant with some premade gumpaste. But I haven't done that, so I'm not 100% sure if that will work!
@@KarolynsKakes thank you❤appreciate you so much.
Can you post a cake recipe?
Tessla Sadler I’ll add that to my list of future videos!
What I gonna do if I have some left over? Thank you 😊
I wrap it in plastic wrap, stick it in a ziplock bag, and store it in an airtight container!
1st try turned out crumbly. What have I done wrong? thanks deb K.
Oh no! Probably too much sugar / not enough liquid. The amount of liquid added will vary depending on how humid it is outside. In the dry Winter months, I add more liquid, in the Summer, I add less.
Is the recipe listed somewhere, I can’t find it
I do 12 oz. marshmallows
approx. 1 tbsp. light corn syrup
Melt in microwave.
Sift 2 pounds powdered sugar.
Add half to the bowl, then pour the marshmallows over the sugar, then add a little more sugar on top.
Mix with dough hook. Add more sugar or water until it wraps around the dough hook.
How much does it cover a cake
Loporositychic I can cover an 8” and a 6” cake with one batch. I think it will even cover up to a 12”!
How long can you keep it stored like that?
I answered you on IG right?
How long would you say you are kneeding the fondant before it is good? I know you speed up and cut some of your videos down so they are not too long, but is it 2 minutes. 5 minutes, 10 minutes, can you kneed it too much?
After I take it out of the bowl? I knead it for about 30 seconds before I wrap it up to settle. You can knead it too much because air can get trapped forming air bubbles during kneading. So you have to be mindful of that!
@KarolynsKakes I thought maybe there could be a "too much", I know my grandma always said don't knead it to much... when we were baking, so I thought this could be a possibility 🤔
Do you ever flavor the fondant?
Thanks...great videos, demonstrations, presentation, explanation...
Maybe 11th rule not to do as cakedecorater could be not to do black fondan...it is just disgusting 😭😭😭😭😭

How long does fondant last for if i put on fridge
There are no perishable ingredients in the fondant, so it doesn't have to be stored in the fridge. I use so much that it doesn't last me more than 3 weeks, but I'm sure if you wrap it up in plastic wrap really well and keep it in an airtight container that it could last upwards of 3 months!
Karolyns Kakes ok thank you for the advice so its ok if i place it in a room temperature area as long i put in a plastic and air tight container thank u god bless
@@mariceldesilva8354 Yup! I keep it room temperature, which is usually between 70-80 degrees fahrenheit (21-26 celsius)
Karolyns Kakes thank you 😊
