2. How to whiten marshmallow fondant.
One of the problems with marshmallow fondant is that it turns out a
little “off white”. It’s usually not noticed unless compared next to a bright
white. Using food coloring, or gel paste can change the structure of
fondant and dry it out, change the taste, or sometimes make it just fall
apart. But don’t worry, there is a way to whiten marshmallow fondant
safely, and the secret is to use a whitening powder that uses powdered
sugar as the dye carrier instead of a gel. This secret is out!
3. How to color marshmallow fondant.
No longer is marshmallow fondant limited to it’s off white color. You
can color marshmallow fondant red, green, black, yellow, blue, pastels,
and more! Use taste free fondant color packets and color homemade
marshmallow fondant as you make it without the mess. Most importantly if
you use a powder color packet your fondant will turn out exactly the color
you want. No more gel paste colored hands, clothes, counter tops, or
guessing colors that turn out too dark or too light. The secret is in the pre-
packaged powdered sugar base for the dye as the carrier instead of a gel,
so it becomes part of your fondant instead of breaking it down.
4. How to knead fondant.
Have you ever had a batch of marshmallow fondant turn out bad?
Whether you make your own marshmallow fondant or let us make it for
you, fresh made fondant needs to cure or “set up” in a sealed bag or
container for a day or two. We ship your fondant the day it’s made so it
sets up during it’s journey to you. Once you receive your fondant, or open
your cured homemade marshmallow fondant it will need to be well
kneaded to become pliable and reach it’s final color before use. These
instructions and video will demonstrate an easy way to knead
marshmallow fondant to get perfect results. Most marshmallow fondant
problems are solved through kneading, more kneading, and if that doesn’t
work, try kneading.
5. How to apply fondant.
After the marshmallow fondant is made, colored, cured, kneaded to
perfection, then it’s ready to roll out and apply. Here we show some
techniques for applying and smoothing your fondant on a cake. Getting
that smooth look is easy if done correctly. We recommend after kneading
to roll out about 1/4 inch thickness for best results.
6. How to make, flavor, and whiten icing.
Most cake decorators make their own icing using their own special
recipe. Use over 28 flavor powders to create the perfect taste to match
your cake! Flavor powder packets are pre-measured to take the guess
work out, and it’s available in bulk sizes if you do a lot.
