Hi, thank you for this amazing video. Very helpful. I have a question. I am new to baking and i have started making Marshmallow fondant. I feel it dries out very quickly when i try to decorate. I am planning to use same fondant to cover a cake. How do i keep the fondant soft so it doesn't dry quickly.

@AsiaCoffee 3 года назад

I’ve never made marshmallow fondant, but I plan to make a video about it soon! I imagine your fondant behaves a lot like store-bought fondant, so I will offer the following tips: 1. Make sure that your fondant is covered in plastic wrap when you’re not working with it. 2. If your fondant seems especially dry, try spritzing it with a very small amount of water, then knead the fondant. Best of luck on your cake and thanks for watching!

@pamelamanning99 11 месяцев назад

I find Americolor brand color less hand-staining than Wilton (aside from red!). Also placing a small bowl upside down over fondant while working on smaller pieces of it stops air from flowing over it, stops it from beginning to crust.

@AsiaCoffee 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for mentioning Americolor! I used that brand very early on and was impressed by the effectiveness of their reds. Great tip about the bowl as well! 💕

@pattibuccheri8645 3 года назад

I don't recommend using 10X sugar to roll your fondant. It removes the moisture from your fondant, causing tears and/or elephant skin. The same for cornstarch, although I find it more forgiving than 10X. Use sparingly! A silicone mat is the best bet, with nothing on it...except fondant of course!

@AsiaCoffee 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing your recommendation! It’s good to have options in case others don’t have access to cornstarch, powdered sugar or a silicone mat.

@Juvie99 3 года назад

Thanks for the tips. What should you do after rolling to remove the 'whiteness' on your fondant from a result of the cornstarch?

@AsiaCoffee 3 года назад

Gently remove as much as you can with a pastry brush. If more cornstarch residue removes, remove it with a little little it of steam. Too much steam will make your fondant very shiny. Thanks for watching!

@mirandawatson99 3 года назад

Lovely video! Quick question: If I cover my cake in store-bought frosting instead of buttercream, will the fondant stick just fine?

@AsiaCoffee 3 года назад

Yes, fondant will stick to your cake covered in store-bought icing, BUT you have to be careful. Store-bought icing (unless it’s Wilton or CK brand) tends to be really soft. You’ll need to refrigerate the cake to stiffen the icing BEFORE covering in fondant. Otherwise, the fondant will slip and slide, and you don’t want that. Thanks for watching!
