I wonder if coconut milk (canned) can be used for MFF. We have coconut flavored evaporated milk here too.

I don't see why not. Sounds good to me.

Hi all - Now I too am interested in Michelle's recipe! As well as the white chocolate clay! The last attempt I had at making chocolate clay, it hardened like a rock and was a total loss! I love working with fondant but I got so sick of melting marshmallows (MMF) that I (*sigh!) have resorted to buying it online again. Are the recipes online? Thanks!! shannellr thumbs_up.gif

I only made MMF twice, couldn't stand the mess and tried MFF, I will never go back.....

xstitcher - thank you for the link...the "leather" part threw me off! I'm hoping to try to make Michelle's fondant this weekend as well as the modeling chocolate (with marshmallow cream) for flower petals. We'll see between soccer games, dance, 2 birthday parties and cleaning house if I get that chance!! icon_smile.gif

Glucose is a thicker version of corn syrup, so corn syrup is usually used because it is easier for most people to find. The glucose serves a couple of purposes. One is the base liquid for the fondant, the sugar content adds to the flavor and cuts the starch taste of the powdered sugar, and because glucose is thick and stretchy, this helps the fondant to be soft, pliable, and slightly stretchy. Glycerin also helps with moisture content, pliability, and stretch.

HTH and sorry to take so long to answer.

Sugerflowers (aka Michele),

Thanks for updating your fondant recipe. I am FONDANTLY challanged. I have had mixed success with MMF.

I tried Toba's for my DS's 9th birthday party and it was a disaster. Needless to say I made a cake from Carvel's because I couldn't allow my self to serve a cake I didn't make. I have a friend that is a child psychiatrist so I am covered on that end. I had my DH go out and buy the biggest Ice Cream Cake that Carvel's had and then I promised to buy my DS anything he wanted to make up for not having a cake that I made for his party.

I was very afraid to make my own fondant other than MMF because of the mixed results I had and I haven't been baking lately due to the Carvel's incident.

I have researched your recipe in the forums and I planned on making it when I saw on the home page that you updated it. Thank you again from someone who is FONDANTLY challanged.

I was just wondering how well the MFF mixed with the white chocolate clay holds up in the heat and humidity?
