Knead more powdered sugar into the fondant until it's not sticky, but still pliable. Add a small amount of the powdered sugar at a time, so you don't use more than necessary, or the fondant will get dry and difficult to work with.
The fondant and marshmallow makes it smooth
If you want to make fondant at home, marshmallow fondant is much easier and simpler to make then traditional European fondant. All you need is 16 ozs of mini (mini!) marshmallows, two pounds of confectionery sugar, a sprinkle of water, and some shortening.
To make brown marshmallow fondant, start by melting 16 ounces of mini marshmallows with 2 tablespoons of water in a microwave, heating in 30-second intervals until fully melted. Once melted, add 2 to 5 cups of powdered sugar, mixing until a dough forms. For the brown color, incorporate cocoa powder (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup, depending on desired shade) during the mixing process. Knead the fondant until smooth, adding more powdered sugar if it’s too sticky.
No. In fact, refrigeration will dry them out and make them rubbery even faster than leaving them in the cupboard.
Casper's favorite sticky treat is likely marshmallow-flavored treats, such as marshmallow rice crispy squares or gooey marshmallow popcorn. These sweet, chewy snacks embody the playful and whimsical spirit associated with Casper, the friendly ghost. Their sticky texture and sweet flavor make them a delightful choice for a ghostly character.
To make fondant softer, you can knead in a small amount of vegetable shortening or glycerin. Alternatively, you can try microwaving the fondant for a few seconds or lightly steam it to soften it up. Be sure to work in small increments to avoid making the fondant too soft or sticky.
Yes, you can add xanthan gum to fondant to improve its elasticity and stability. A small amount can help prevent cracking and make the fondant easier to work with, especially in humid conditions. However, be cautious with the quantity, as too much xanthan gum can make the fondant overly sticky or difficult to handle. It's best to start with a tiny amount and adjust as needed.
To make dough less sticky, you can add a little more flour while kneading until it reaches the desired consistency.

Baking , Fondant, and Corn Syrup
Fondant is relatively easy to work with but, in my experience, not delicious at all. To make a 2 layer cake, you simply bake two different sizes. Drape the fondant over the bottom layer and trim, then place the smaller layer on top and cover it with fondant. If you do not plan to add additional decorations along the seam of the two layers (I would recommend doing so), you may want to cover the top layer with the fondant prior to placing it so you can wrap a little under and avoid scoring the bottom layer while trimming the top. If you are making a very dense cake, you may want to insert wooden supports into the bottom layer to support the top.
Can the fondant sealer be used instead of whipped fondant so it won't be very sweet or does the fondant have to rolled out thinner
