From the editor:

Hi sandy,

Here are a couple tips that may help:

1. Try to implanting the fondant between two sheets of paper of pergamino.Esto allows you not to use any sugar powder, which can help prevent the fondant drying.

2. Make sure really well knead the fondant.You can pop in the microwave to soften a little to get started, 10 seconds is good.

3 Soften a little shortening in areas that are of craqueo.Esto can help repair cracks that already has.

Good luck.

July 16, the dilemma fondant MM

by Marica
(Croatia)

Dear Michelle
in many sites on the internet and yours I also read that it should not be refrigerated cake covered with fondant MM.Pero on the other side must be refrigerated cake filled and frosted with cream cheese morello cherry.
My question is, how do I do with a cake filled and frosted with cream cheese and covered with fondant icing MM?
FYI for the next 2 months in my area of temperature is approximately 87, 30 C (F).
Thanks in advance and best wishes,
Marica

From the editor:

Hello Marica,

Ideally, not refrigerate a fondant covered cake but with temperatures that this high, you really need cooling for cream cheese filling.

The danger is that condensation may form on the surface of the fondant when removing the refrigerator cake.

Here are some tips that should help:

1. Place the cake in a carton in the frigorífico.Esto help absorb any moisture that is present.

2. When remove the cake to come to room temperature to serve, place a low near cake speed fan to help dry out the fondant and prevent the spots of condensation forming.

3. If you have access to a dehumidifier, have it running in your kitchen when you exit the cake in the refrigerator.

Good luck.

August 2, why does my fondant cracking?

by Valerie
(Argenine)

Hello, I was wondering why when I use fondant store bought, the edge crack. knead too much or not enough, I would add too much sugar powder, is the cake too cold below?
I really appreciate some help!

Thank you

Valerie

From the editor:

Hi Valerie,

I I do not know with certainty, of course, but sounds as you may have added icing sugar too.

Next time, try implementing the the fondant between two sheets of paper of pergamino.De thus do not need to add the icing sugar and this can help prevent the edges of cracking.

Good luck.

Jul 15, Marshmellow Fondant... storage?

by Kathy
(Armed forces Europe)

Hello, I did the MMF using your recipe, I realized that he had answered someone if they want to store it in the refrigerator, is this necessary?

Seems to be nothing in it that need refrigeration, but I want to be sure, another similar recipe says wrap it in plastic wrap and store in a container of hermetic, that I did, but I am worried if I put it in the fridge that become too hard when I need it in a week will?

Also, if you want to attach points spot made for MMF to the MMF cake covering, what is the best way to do this? do I have a tube "Write gel" which is evident in a cake shop I got a few years ago which would operate as a glue?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Kathy

From the editor:

Hello Kathy,

You can store the Marshmallow fondant embroiled in the refrigerator or at room temperature cool.Will keep longer in the refrigerator and there is no worry that it is to the rígida.Usted only microwave high for 10 seconds and is ready to go!

To attach points, or any other fondant decor, I recommend very lightly brushed back decoration with clear of alcohol, such as vodka or gin.Se evaporates quickly, avoiding any rupture of the fondant.

July 16, cake, plates, fondant chocolate and capable of making decisions fondant

by Sarah V
(Scottsdale, AZ)

I just found your site and LOOOOOOVE is. I am a newbie when it comes to this (just made my first covered last week - fondant cake was really cute!) so I have three questions for you.

First, I made Marshmallow fondant and worked very well for me, and proven gran.Pero I am interested in using black fondant as well.I read here that you should use fondant chocolate. How do?

Secondly, where get their cake plates?Are separate circles below of cakes in turntable cake?

Thirdly, what else do you use fondant for addition of cakes coverage? saw me the demo bow, but there are other uses? what can harden? on the cake that I'm doing now, I want a stand up "G" and wasn't sure if it would be better to make it out of a color or fondant chocolate.?

Thanks in advance for everything what they are doing!This has been such a blessing!

From the editor:

Hi Sarah,

I am very happy that you are enjoying the sitio.Responder your questions:

1. To make fondant chocolate, substitute 1 cup powdered sugar with cocoa polvo.Aparte, follow the recipe as escrito.Esto allows you to use only a small amount of dye food black gel to make black fondant, it does not mean that you bitter after of taste much color food.

2 In general I do my cake plates by reciclaje.Tres four circles or rectangles cut to the desired size, together tape boxes and cover with cloth and clear paper contact, fondant, or any other kind of coating that you like.

3 You can use fondant filling cakes, make tape to be used as boundaries, trim decorations or any type of flower that can be imaginar.También can knead a little Tylose, powder to make rubber paste which dries and hardens, making it useful for decorations such as stand up letters you mention.Fondant or rubber paste can also be used for making quilted cake figures (people, animals, etc.).

Good luck.

July 14, white cake and fondant

by Cherish
(Kapaa, HI)

Well is cover fondant white cake?

From the editor:

It can cover almost any kind of cakes with fondant, including white cake.

The only type of cake that I do not recommend covered with fondant is Angel Food Cake, because it is the structure does not hold under the weight of the fondant.

If you plan to make a white cake multi-tier, be sure to add cake circles and spikes between each level, to support the structure and the weight of the fondant.

Hello Esther,

The simplest type of rose would begin with Ribbon roses, which are made by a tape of fondant approximately 1/2 "wide headbutts and the successive strongly until they have around 5 capas.Fan-out the edge until you like the appearance of the rose and finished."Attach to the tart brushing of the rear part of the decoration with a small amount of vodka or other alcohol clear and placed where needed.
