formable icing it's 1 tbs of liquid glucose 1 egg white and 1lb of confections sugar. is this like fondant? where can i find glucose is it corn syrup? any help would be great!

It looks a little like a gumpaste recipe without the gum.

You can get glucose at the craft store. It's thicker than corn syrup.

What are you making with it?

they had a picture in a cake book that they actually covered the cake thats why i was wondering if its like fondant and how it taste? Can you make figures with it? do they dry

I found a recipe similar to that in an old gourmet cookbook that I had. It looked like the simplest fondant recipe I'd ever seen, so I made it, substituting corn syrup for the glucose. It didn't come out too great...no stretch at all. I ended up using it for decorations and once it was on the cake, the grease from the buttercream climbed up the decorations and wilted them.

Have you made marshmallow fondant before?

yes but it comes out too shiney and i don't like that, can i do anything about that?

Roll it out on cornstarch instead of crisco

Sort of a rolled buttercream recipe with heavy duty corn syrup (glucose) and an added egg white.

No, it won't have any stretch.

Honestly, there are much better recipes out there--no need to buy glucose and deal with it's peculiarities and cost, etc. Less frustration and greater workability.
