I have made Colette Peters' regular recipe for fondant and it is great, ... very pliable, tasty, doesn't crack, drapes like fabric.
My step-son wants a tuxedo cake and wants chocolate fondant. I tried the recipe from the Cake Bible yesterday. Tastes great, like fudge brownies, but it is hard to work with. Cracks a lot. I added more shortening and more water but it is still not pliable enough.
Anyone out there have a really tasty chocolate fondant recipe that is very pliable and easy to work with?
This is my first attempt with a little 6" heart tux cake. It cracked a lot. Maybe it was because the pieces were so tiny, but still I think the chocolate fondant recipe I used from the Cake Bible was a bit too brittle for my liking. I even used less sugar than the recipe called for hoping it wouldn't be too dry.
Any suggestions?
