Thank you for your question, Raquel. Many of our members used corn syrup instead of glycerine. Let us know how it works for you!
Hi there, thanks for your questions! If you are having trouble finding gelatin, you could try a speciality baking/cooking store or try ordering it online! This recipe is best if just plain, unflavored gelatin is used. Hope this helps :)
Thank you for your request, Hannah. We have several recipes for apple fritters on our site. We'll add your video request to our list.
Hi thanks for your question! A lot of Allrecipes members have had luck omitting it or substituting it with vegetable oil. Give this a try and let us know how it turns out for you :)
Thank you for your question. There are different ways to make fondant, and this is just one of them. We do have a recipe for Marhsmallow Fondant on our site.
Thank you for your question, Ingrid Hadassah Faeldonia. The best way to store fondant is to wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in a plastic bag to keep it from drying out. Fondant can be stored for 2 months in an airtight container. Do not refrigerate or freeze fondant. This can add moisture and make it weep. Any leftover fondant may be rolled into a ball or log shape, coated with a thin film of white vegetable shortening, wrapped in plastic wrap, and then placed in an airtight container. Enjoy your classes!
thank you very much :) . God Bless
Recipe said you should put it in the fridge. Thanks for the tip. I won't refrigerate mine.
Allrecipes is fondant edible or just for looks.
Thank you for your question. Several Allrecipes members reported using butter instead of shortening with great results. Good luck!
Thank you for your questions! You can use any food-safe coloring to add to this fondant. We'd recommend adding the color, a few drops at a time, together with the confectioners' sugar. Enjoy!
I use to work as a cake decorator love doing that job so this brings back memories thanks so much for this please never stop uploading videos♥
Hi, Ingrid Hadassah Faeldonia - Glad to have your question! There are several ways to make fondant look shiny. You might rub your hands with vegetable shortening and gently smooth your fingers over the fondant, or brush a light coating of vegetable oil over the surface to create a shiny look. Some cooks apply a very thin coating of nonstick cooking spray to the fondant, Another option is brushing luster dust over the fondant for a sheen. This requires using even brush strokes and a small amount of dust so it doesn't look uneven. If you want the whole cake to look shiny, pop it into the refrigerator for a few hours. Moisture will collect on the fondant giving it a soft sheen.
tnx a lot :)
Thanks
it's the best

So how's the taste of fondant?i think it is so hard to eat the finish product?never try it!😂
Yes, be sure to bring it to room temperature when you are ready to work with it.
Thank you for your question. We'd recommend Marshmallow Fondant recipe on our site. Enjoy!
Thanks so much for this recipe!! I am excited about trying this
seeing this as a sculpting artist, it's basically edible food clay! this is amazing! ^^
Thank you for your question. You can purchase it at a pharmacy, drug store, or a craft store.
Thanks for your question, Mj Cajegas (RelaxAndPlayDota). Fondant is best used immediately once prepared since it dries out quickly. However, since this isn't always possible, keep it from drying out by rolling it into a ball or log shape, coat it with a thin film of white vegetable shortening, and then wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in a plastic bag until needed. Any unused fondant may be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 months. (DO NOT refrigerate or freeze fondant.) You will need to knead it again to make it soft and pliable before rolling it out.
All recipes what is shortening anyway
Thanks for your question. Saadoa Ashrif. Shortening is a solid fat derived either from plant or animal sources. Shortening derived from animals comes from lard, while shortening made from plants undergo a chemical process known as hydrogenation to make it solid saturated fat. Shortening has many purposes in cooking. In baking, shortening is used with pastries, pie crusts and biscuits to make them flaky. It is also used in frying or deep-frying as a liquid.
+Maria Prado Look in the description .....

Allrecipes qqqqq

Is it the same glycerine which we get from pharmacy
Gelatin amount?
Did you cover cake with it?
Plz sent recipe share with me?
Thank you for your question, Jennifer John. Shortening is a variety of fat used in baking. Try using vegetable shortening for this recipe or butter-flavored. You can also use regular butter. Enjoy!
Allrecipes hi can i use butter or magrin instead of shorting?
Is glucose and corn syrup the same?
Hi Mama Cass, thanks for your question. You can try substituting with butter, lard or margarine.
Great question, Charmaine. This recipe makes enough to cover a 10-inch round cake, 4 inches high.
Thank you for your question, Jay. It's really best to use confectioners' sugar in this recipe to make sure it incorporates properly with the rest of the ingredients and to give the fondant a very smooth texture. You can try grounding regular table sugar to a fine consistency. Let us know how that works out for you!
You could try this with honey, some Allrecipes members have had luck with that substitution.
Ok thanks for the recipe 👍
Thank you! Try using honey instead. Confectioner's sugar is a finely ground sugar that looks like powder. Enjoy.

Hi, Vytautas Poška - We recommend using a different fondant recipe, one that uses butter or margarine instead of vegetable shortening. Here are three recipes we hope will work. (Can you buy marshmallows in Lithuania?):

You should at least try with the recipe. Otherwise, what's the fun of going straight up to the store?
Nice
Thanks for your question. Some allrecipes members have had luck substituting the glycerin for corn syrup or vegetable oil. Enjoy :)
Can you please lists the ingredients for me
Thank you for your question, Sarah. You can use honey if you'd like. Enjoy.
Hm.... So my local grocer didn't have any gelatin but I saw that my local hardware store had it. I didn't know where I can find the glucouse syrup so I made my own with some stuff lying around. I was bought some nitroglycerin from this guy outside the hardware store, i think its an offbrand or something. I got home and started to follow the tutorial to make fondant but instead the police busted in and said i was kneading c4 instead of fondant or something, whatever that is. I need you guys to contact the police and tell them im innocent.
+Arkey lmmfao!!!!!! I thought "glycerin" I was like.. okay.. and this is to be fed to people.. wtf man?!
I made this recipe and I used something called corn syprup instead of glucose syrup.
+Isabelle Barker did it turn out well?
Glucose syrup huh... just boil water and add lots of sugar! There~ it’s glucose like and edible :’)
I was shook when you said glycerin lmao
@@fwipfwopcondition2842 That has nothing whatsoever to do with glucose syrup. You are describing sucrose syrup. One can use corn syrup, which is almost entirely glucose, though often it is a little thinner than proper glucose syrup and contains other flavors like salt and vanilla to fool one's palate into thinking the syrup has a higher brix.
Thanks for the recipie...What do you mean by Shortening?
Crisco.
lard is shortening
rahul g butter ,margarine and lard
margarine
rahul g you can find it at any baking store lol
Thanks for the vid it will be my birthday day in 6 days I'm so excited😁
Welcome!
This i got to try. i am always having BIG BIG issues with my fondant. while trying to cover the cake its always cracks and tears. Makes me MAD
Use shortning
Me too
This recipe is amazing but I have to ask what is a shortening?
Jennifer John I know this was 3 years ago, but just in case you're still wondering, if you're American, Crisco is a type of shortening
You can use butter or Oil as substitute.
Fat.....its fat.....but to be specific it refers to fats solid at room temp so technically (butter is seldom reffered) but even bacon grease can be used as shortening
It's a vegetable oil that's solid at room temperature. Butter may work, but it has a lower melting point than shortening.
Yes it is :)
Wow! I must try this one. Thanks for Sharing!
Where do they expect us to find this this was a good video but where do you glycost syrup
The shop you silly bastard.
Using clear vanilla just insures that the colors are more pure. :) It is especially important if you want white.
Thank you! Try using honey instead of glucose in this recipe. Enjoy!
Thank you for your question. You can use butter instead of shortening in this recipe. Enjoy!
I like how you make the fontdant from scratch
Marshmallow fondant: glycerine marshmallows water icingsugar
Melt your mrshmallows and glycerin

Little.

Hi! Can I use this fondant recipe to cover strawberry shortcake type of cake with strawberry filling inside? Thanks! :)

Seriously? Gelatin, glucose and shortening? Surely things that everyone has in their kitchen at all times =_='
Alex Malfoy lol r u thick. Obv people looking to make this will go out to buy the ingredients necessary or use substitutes....
Alex Malfoy you can find glucose and shortening in most bakery aisles/stores
If you get a midnight fondant craving then you might be out of luck. But if you are planning to make a cake for an event it wouldn’t be unusual to go buy the ingredients.
You'd be better off making a fondant recipe that calls for butter, Crepper Junior. Here's an alternative recipe using butter and miniature marshmallows: allrecipes.com/Recipe/Marshmallow-Fondant/Detail.aspx
Great question! Gelatin activates best when mixed with cold water first.
What do u mean by cold water..is it cold water from the fridge?
Worked perfectly fine for me, thanks a lot
Too much ingredients I only use confectioner sugar and marshmallows.
angiezel torres for me it's best recipe I don't have white marshmallow in my country

Great question! You can absolutely use this fondant recipe on cookies. Enjoy!
What's that white stuff u added to d mix u called it thickener or wat...I don't odastand
what's shortening
anu Chawla dalda or banaspati
to put it simply, it's animal fat. Coconut oil might be a better alternative because it feels like it has a similar density and texture and is much healthier but coconut oil is very flavourful and might clash with what you're making.
Butter
Thanks for your question, anu Chawla. Butter and shortening are different fats. Butter and lard are animal fats, but shortening is a solid fat derived either from plant or animal sources. Typically, animal shortening -- or lard -- is fat rendered and clarified from various parts of pigs, while shortening made from plants undergoes a chemical process known as hydrogenation to make it a solid saturated substance. Vegetable-based shortening has no flavor and is what most cooks use. Shortening has many purposes in cooking. In baking, shortening is used with pastries, pie crusts and biscuits to make them flaky. It is also used in frying or deep-frying as a liquid.

The fondant you buy at the store is just as bad or worse. So... just saying...
Soby Andrews, just made this and it is toxic. Can't bring myself to eat my fondant fancies.
To clarify glucose and glycerin are both plant extracts
