Ok, so I keep hearing about this compared to wilton fondant. Where do I find it? And I know this may seem a dumb question but what does mmf stand for?

Marshmallow Fondant (MMF) and I too do not know what Satin Ice is...

MMF is Marshmellow fondant. A lot of people use it here. There is a recipe in the recipe section. They sell Satin Ice fondant at many places. The sell it here at cc.

ATECO sells Satin Ice Fondant. But you can also make yours.

Sorry I was refering to Satin Ice. It´s pretty easy to make.

I'd love to know too!!!

Of course!!!

Satin Ice/Fondant:

1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1/2 cup glucose
1/4 cup cold water
3 tablespoons glycerine
2 lb (900g) confectioners´sugar
extract

Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in small bowl. Let it stand for 5 min.
Add shortening, glucose and glycerine to the gelatin and water. Place on heat until dissolved. Do not overheat. Remove from heat. Add extract.

Sift confectioners´sugar and make a well in the center. Add the gelatin mixture and stir with a wooden spoon, add sugar a little at a time, until stickiness disappears. Knead in remaining sugar until the fondant is smooth, pliable and does not stick to your hands. Store in airtight container in a cool dry place.

NOTE: You use cornstarch when you are kneading the fondant to cover a cake.

Well, hope it´s clear. If you have any questions I´ll be happy to answer.

Can you make flours and things like regular fondant?

thanks for sharing cant wait to make this!!!

Gapi
thank you thank you

I love Satin Ice. I can't wait to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing!

How much extract? Vanilla or another flavor?

Your welcome!
Yes, you can make regular flowers. It´s really just another kind of fondant. I would mix it with gumpaste because 100% fondant flowers are very delicate and can break easily.

You can add about 2 teaspoons of any clear extract. I use almond extract. You can taste it and see if you like it or add more.

When I make my fondant I cover the cake the same day. It works better this way for me.

Good luck!

Hi Gapi, thanks for recipe. Could you clarify something. You say sift the sugar & make a well, add the gelatin mixture, stir with wooden spoon. add the sugar till stickiness disapears. knead in the remaining sugar. Where does the extra sugar come from, do you reserve some before making the well? Sorry to be a nuisance.

Sorry. What I do is that I don´t pour all the sugar in case I don´t need it all. I do it gradually. First, I use a big bowl and add some sugar about (500 grs.) and add the gelatin mixture I mix it with a wooden spoon and pour more sugar until it´s not too sticky and then I pour all the mixture in the board and I keep adding the sugar. If you have more questions don´t hesitate.

Thanks Gapi,
I thought that was what you meant, but I just wanted to confirm.

Sorry, the thing is that eventhough I think my english is very good I´m not a native speaker and sometimes I might not express 100% correctly.

Your English is wonderful, you explained everything very well.

that recipe is very similar to the one I use.....it is posted on here as "Toba Garrett's fondant".......I love it....much nicer than mmf!

is it called satin icing because it has a shinny appearance?

hum that´s the same question my husband asked me. I really wouldn´t say so.

Thank you so much Gapi!!

It's not shiny. Perhaps it's called Satin Ice because it is satiny soft and smooth to work with? Not shiny though.

I'm definitely going to buy the ingredients and try this one!

I know this is an old thread, but if I want to make the SI recipe, where would I find Glycerine and Glucose.  I been to several pharmacy and they look at me like I nuts when I tell them what the glycerine is for, apparently glycerine is only sold in suppository form. Every time I mention glucose they're not sure what I want so they show me a Glucose measuring kit or reader. Anyone have any idea where this is sold?
