need a fondant recipe without gelatine. or can you give me an idea need to decorate a cake to look like a football game
Does this dry to a hard finish like a regular fondant?
Does this work well for petit fours?
has anyone tried this recipe, does it really work?
I just tried it and it ran off the buttercream just like oil and water. I poured it over an uniced one and it stuck....but it dried looking just like candle wax.
What can one use instead of corn syrup (we dont get that here)
I also had the problem of it running off the sides and not sticking very well. And I think I would call it more of a thin glaze than a fondant. I also noticed that where it did stick, it made the cake mushy under the glaze.
But it looks like a lot of people have rated it high....so perhaps my altitude or weather had something to do with it. Or perhaps my cake recipe? Anyway....go ahead and give it a try. It may work for you. =)
