    I'm reviewing some of her videos right now. She taught me how to make cream fondant after numerous failures. I had the recipe already but needed the guidance as my grandmother has been gone for 15 years now and no one else in the family had any idea about candy making. Thanks for the help!

    So thankful for your video. I'm a 4th-generation candy maker and have learned many of my skills from watching my dad in his store do what his dad and grandad did. My family are the first fudge makers in the state of MI, and we started on a little island called Mackinaw, in 1887! But the fondant cream centers were unfortunately something my dad took with him when he left this good earth, and neither myself or my two siblings (who are also in business) had the privilege of learning this from our dad. I feel like this was his method, and your tools remind me so much of him and his simple ways. Thanks again, for sharing this valuable information!

    Yes! I made peppermint this year and I used 2-3 teaspoon of peppermint oil. They turned out great. Thanks for your feedback. If you have a strong mixer like a kitchen Aid, you can pour the mixture into the mixer bowl, cool to touch (30-45 min) in the freezer or fridge, then stir it with a hook. It’s a lot easier on tour arm then stirring by hand. The hook keeps the mixture moving, but doesn’t overheat your mixer. Just try not to splash the mixture on the sides as you move it to the cooler. Good luck!

    I have looked at several videos for orange creams, but this is the nicest I have seen, you make the filling complete from scratch using a soft ball textured sweet, great, thank you and your patience in finishing the filling off

    could you use a dough hook on a stand mixer to do the stirring after its chilled?

    This by far the best video I have seen on how to make fondant for the centers of chocolate candies. I made a batch of strawberry creams and they came out amazing! Can I also make a center for peppermint patties by adding pepperm8nt oil?

    • @joycemcclure8436

      What brand flavoring did you use for the strawberry?

  • @tomanderson9532
    @tomanderson9532 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thanks for the REAL recipe. There are so many on TH-cam but they aren't real creams. One question, I saw another video with almost the same recipe but they added marshmallow just before mixing. Does it give it a creamier texture? One other issue I have, when you use measurements with cups, versus a scale, you receive two different measurements. Does it matter?

    I really want to try this recipe but here in the uk we are unable to get corn syrup, what should I use to substitute it please

  • @havnfun5

    Do I have to make sure that the sugar is completely dissolved before letting it boil? Someone told me that if I don't, then it will definitely turn crystally?

  • @StRain-zx2vo
    @StRain-zx2vo 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    i have a 10 qt commercial hobart mixer. could this be stirred on low with dough hook to achieve the right consistency?

    • @double_b_bros
      @double_b_bros 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, you can! A lot of the time now a days, I pour the hot cooked mixture in my mixer bowl and place it in the freezer or fridge for about 45 minutes. Then when it is cool to your hand on the bottom, start to stir. I do it carefully so the mixture doesn’t splash on the sides of the bowl and try to crystallize. Then I use the dough hook and also occasionally scrap the sides with a plastic or wood spoon

    • @double_b_bros
      @double_b_bros 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      St. Rain one more thing. If it is still taking a long time to set up , like it sometimes does with either stir method, if you let it set for just a few minutes, sometimes it will help it to set up. Using the mixer saves some tear and tear on your hands and arms. Thanks for the question and have fun.

  • @magglrock8839
    @magglrock8839 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Im new to this so forgive me if this is a silly question but, why not scoop the mixture into your mixing bowl and set the mixer on low instead of stirring by hand for 40 min.?

    • @tblake53
      @tblake53 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You can! As I'm getting older :( I find it easier to do just that. I use my KitchenAid mixer with a hook. I pour the mixture directly into the metal bowl and put the bowl in the freezer (or fridge) for approximately 40 minutes checking it occasionally until the bottom is cool to the touch. Don't let the mixture move much as you are putting it in the freezer/fridge. If it splashes up on the sides, it increases the chance of crystalizing and turning to sugar when you stir it. Once it's cool, stir it with the mixer hook on low. It can be tough on the mixer because the mixture is stiff, so be careful that you are not overheating the mixer. If my mixer starts to get hot, I finish it by stirring by hand. Usually it's not a problem, but I often make 2-3 batches at a time and occasionally that does it! Thanks for the question.

  • @joycemcclure8436
    @joycemcclure8436 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the step-by-step instructions. I have never made candy before. Here is how it worked out for me.
    Add the flavoring before it gets stiff. It's too hard to mix in when it's stiff. The candy quickly went from soft and shiny to thick and crumbly then to creamy play doh. I freaked out when it got crumbly, but I kneaded it with my hands. The candy got hot at this point. I think it was a chemical reaction of the sugar crystals changing. Anyway, I kept kneading and it was fine.
    I used Watkins brand lemon flavor. I do NOT recommend it. It tastes so fake. What a bummer to spend so much time on it and then it was worse than Russell Stover, which is the worst store bought lemon cream. I was trying to make something as good as Mrs. Cavanaugh's brand lemon cream. I'll try again, though. Any recommendations on a lemon flavor for this candy?

    • @valenehulme2182
      @valenehulme2182 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      For lemon, I like a combination of lemon oil, lemon extract, and citric acid to get that tart/sour that goes with lemon. I feel the citric acid is the key (I have Tart and Sour drops by LorAnn, but I've also used powdered citric acid.)

    • @mara295

      I believe it's called "glucose syrup" in the UK :)

  • @tristiewood2983
    @tristiewood2983 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Also i was wondering what you were using to measure the size of the fondant balls?

    • @double_b_bros
      @double_b_bros 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tristie Wood Great question. Using corn starch on the counter (much like flour for bread dough), roll the fondant out like a long rope about the thickness of your thumb. I use a small Wilton cake frosting knife (but a butter knife will work too). Use the flat part of the knife to make uniform marks along the top of the rope, then go back and cut them into pieces. The wider the knife and the thicker the rope, the larger the pieces will be.

    • @tblake53
      @tblake53 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I put mine in a candy cup and windowed box after dipped, so I make them about as tall as the width of the frosting spatula I use. I'd estimate the rope is about 5/8" thick.

  • @ednasole854
    @ednasole854 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can I make a big batch and put different flavours in please replie

    • @double_b_bros
      @double_b_bros 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, a single batch makes about 100 pieces. You can wait to add the flavoring and coloring after it reaches that play dough texture. I have doubled the batch and made 200 pieces, just make sure the pan is large enough as it’s a larger volume while it’s boiling. Also if you have a good strong mixer, with a dough hook, you can pour your hot mixture in the bowl cool it so it’s cool to your hand (I set it in the fridge/freezer for 30-45 minutes) and them mix it using the hook rather than by hand with the wooden spoon. Both methods work, but I now have learned it’s much less work on my arms! If it doesn’t set up after many minutes, I sometimes turn off the mixer and let it set for 2-3 minutes and it sometimes helps it crystalize and go into that play dough texture. Best of luck to you making a double batch. The cool time will be longer for a double batch.

    can I pour this into a mold instead of rolling it out?

    • @waynedippel553
      @waynedippel553 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      you still need to agitate it, as what she is doing when she stirs it, but once you do you can heat it back up and use a mold, I do that and use a silicone Easter egg mold.

    • @double_b_bros
      @double_b_bros 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Melissa Russell It won’t pour as it is thick and feels a little more like play dough texture once it’s done. If it’s a chocolate mold you could possibly coat the mold with chocolate, let it set up, then place a small amount in the center, then pour the bottom to make your chocolate.

    • @tblake53
      @tblake53 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      If the mold is coated with chocolate, you could tear small pieces and place it in the center and then cover the bottom with choclate. It has the consistency of play dough, so it wouldn't pour into the mold.

    What’s the shelf life of this mixture?

    • @tblake53
      @tblake53 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It keeps really well. I usually freeze the mixture until I have all the flavors I'm going to make then thaw it and cut it into thirds to roll out. I have kept it from Oct to Dec. I have made it and had it keep a week in the fridge. I believe it would last a couple weeks in the fridge, but prefer to freeze it so I know it's fresh. I wrap it twice in plastic wrap, then into a zip-lock bag. Thanks for your question.
