Rolled-in-fat dough is generally creamed butter (it can also be shortening), with a small amount of flour added to it. It is used as the fat layer to make puff pastry, danish and croissant doughs.
Baking , Fondant, and Corn Syrup
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.
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
i think you can't make fondant clear unless you use some other type of ingredients to make it clear.
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.
One can learn to make a fondant at the Sugar Coated Chronicle. This blogspot has multiple posts and its instructions are extremely through and detailed enough that an amateur can probably create a fondant.
Fondant, as you probably know, needs to be kept pliable but not too loose. Adding regular liquid food colouring tends to make the fondant too soft and adding more icing sugar just lightens up the colour. For a good intense "hot pink" you will need to get to your closest supplier of cake decorating supplies and purchase the paste food colour. It comes in a small container (which you should be able to by separately). Mix in a small amount, knead the fondant (use gloves, no one need hot pink hands) and add more food colouring until you reach your desired intensity.
im not sure.....
No. They buy it.
Gum paste is said to roll out thinner and easier than fondant. Fondant in usually used to cover a cake and gum paste is used to make decorations.
Fondant is mostly use to cover your cakes and gum paste is used for modeling people or furniture, animals, etc... but you can also use fondant for small details on your cake such as flowers, stripes, or polkadots! hope i helped! and good luck! (:
