Please can anyone tell me if my candy wafer and fondant mix is bad. My daughter just got it for me yesterday at a cake supply place.

It is powdery with some chucks (something like what brown sugar will do) but they will break a part when I press on them.

Is it still good to use or did I get some that is old and no good anymore?

Thank You So Much For Any Help You Can Give Me.

sorry ~ i've never heard of a "candy wafer and fondant mix". Is it a mix to make fondant out of?

So sorry Debbie (thecakemaker) it took so long to get back to this post and your reply.

It is Fondant for Candy & Icings
A ready to use powdered cane sugar product that you reconstitute with liquid (water, condensed milk or cherry juice, etc). Plus it is ideal for Creme Centers, or Cordial Cherries. For candy fillings, simply add butter, Eagle Brand milk, flavors, and food colors. Add water & color for cookie or petit four icing that stays soft but cookies are stackable and petit fours are smooth (MUCH better tasting than royal icing!) Great for Reece cups too, just add your favorite peanut butter and a little butter if you want. Mix with cherry juice for liquid centers. 1 cup Dry fondant, makes about 30 cherries. Candy center recipe included. Ingredients: cane fondant sugar, may contain traces of egg products.

This is just one kind of it, Wiltons has something like it also....that is the kind I had, but since this post I have found out if it has some clumps just sift.

Here is this web site of kind I didn't have, but would like to try theirs.

My daughter in law was at sugarcraft last week, I should have told her to pick me up some.

Thanks for the clarification! I've seen the mix for candy centers etc. I thought they'd come out with something new to make rollable fondant or something!
