Fondant making - How to make fondant icing

[geeklette99]

why does everybody use this song in their videos! grrr! :P

[Toni572]

I have never made fondant but after watching your video I think i want to give it a try. Can you add flavor to fondant? and if not do you think that using flavored marshmellows is a good idea?? In oklahoma they sell marshmallows in strawberry & French vanilla flavor.. Do you think that it will have an effect on the texture?

[LifeScoops]

WHY MUST YOU USE THIS SONG?

[livingsocks]

What is Crisco? I have never seen it for sale here.

[ThePinkrose33]

@livingsocks it's vegetable shortening

[needleweed131]

was that flour he used?

&: when did he use sugar?!

[1030ct]

@needleweed131 that wasn't flour it was powdered sugar.

[tjwakaa]

@needleweed131

Confectioners sugar

[94Shortiee]

when do you add the water?

[sarsiangel08]

When will you use the water?

[lilywillygant]

i think you should of fast foreword it so it was less boring to watch but it's a great recipe i will use it many times when i make cakes !!! :)

[moonncat]

You should delete the nasty comments. I for one, appreciate the video!

[MOMSIPOOH]

@moonncat I agree. I'm over 50 and a video made by a 14 year old is teaching me how to make fondant. I'm really impressed. I don't care about the watch (I won't be wearing one), the music (I have my own) or the spelling (it doesn't change the process or taste). Great job and thank you!!

[ncastroclan]

@MOMSIPOOH Thank you! I was 14 at the time and i forgot to take the watch off and i was rushing to finish the movie so i didn't even care about spelling. I'm glad it helped!

[fahaadrules11]

wow thats amazing

[SWebbism]

Didn't anyone ever tell anyone of you that "If you can NOT say anything nice, then don't say anything at all"????

[aqualib]

can u tell me substitute of marsh mallows

[MiissSammii]

What does it taste like and does it dry out or crack easily?

[Javier32101]

this song is so annoying so much people use it

[tylersgirl016]

You sure do like to say the word "Consistency" a lot. Lawl.

[msmanetta73]

@msmanetta73 YES, YES IT DOES...I MUST AGREE WITH MYSELF

[kimbercoggins]

can you make a chocolate fondant this way?

[music4ever1209]

[MsFJLM]

love it! but your back ground sounds like horror ! :))

[bigbangfan973]

@ncastroclan how long does the fondant last until it goes bad in an airlocked container or saran wrapped?

[10janean]

I hate how marshmellow gets syuck on ur fingerss :)

[LovePenguin28]

what can you use if you don't have crisco?? Im in the uk, and can't find crisco anywhere!?

[kjmotox]

looks good, what is shortening though?

[nic0lekA]

i've only heard this song like 3 times on youtube. i like it :) feel free to thumbs down haha

[rosaspepe]

[aquaprin]

[broadwaystar551]

[SoccerGirls505]

[amylh322]

@tropicalhusky - It looks like you can just turn it off, i have a bad head ache so i will. Why do people complain instead of just turning it down?

[Krazynumacat]

dead mou5e i love ur style XD

[aznbeauty17]

Hi. How much fondant does your recipe make. weight wise. Also what size cake can you cover with this recipe?

[tigerwa]

@aznbeauty17 I am no genius though I am guess ing that if they are using 1lb of marshmallows and 2 lb of powdered sugar it is going to make 3lb of fondant.

[duffjane]

can it be stored in the fridge??

[michelleduongrocks]

do you add 2 cups of the confectionars sugar into the melted marshemllow? because mine came out to be a big gooey mess

[maileng60]

i like this recipe linked it on facebook

[ilianagv1]

When do u add the water? I wanna try it bt it doesn't show whn to add water.

[icekat83]

OMG that looks like fun. :) I want to try this and royal icing and making my own marshmallows. :D

[87madelaine]

So when did you add the water?

[michelleduongrocks]

when did you add the water? like did you add it when you took it out of the microwave? please get back to me soon because mothers day is coming up thx! :)

[asyadiqin]

couldn't u just fast forward all the kneading while editing the video.

[BadTVInc]

ooooooo that song really knows how to piss a guy off! X(

[taboo43]

You can also use trex-it's another White shortening product. Do not use margarine!

[SaveThePerishables]

Spell Check rocks!

[xChibimaruko]

you should've taken out your watch before doing the kneading..

[ncastroclan]

@xChibimaruko I know, i was like 14 when i made this video

[luv4unc53]

@ncastroclan well your still only 17 now then...

[RobinRose]

Hi! I've got a question, you use (Crisco) shortening, but we don't have that in Holland (as far as I know), could I use margerine in stead? If not, what else can I use? Thank you :-)

[thepazler]

@RobinRose we don't have it in England we use stork , which is like vegetable fat

[hellsbelles78]

you forgot to mention you have to knead it for about 5hrs lol

[ILikeCandi6]

Is it ok to use chcolate marshmellows instead of the normal kinds?Please tell me!!! I really need to know!!!!

[ThomasWGonzalesIII]

I was thinking same thing about keeping watch on! You go to the bathroom and I am sure your watch is on and then you wash your hands but its not like you can washa watch! I was so grossed out! Remove all jewlery next time, please. Aside from that great video I will try it this weekend!

[Paco77663]

is it sugar or powder sugar....cause it looks like powder....?!??!?!?!

[lim0333]

@Paco77663 it is powder sugar.

[TheKlsmsd]

what can be used instead of crisco???.

[iLuvUsoMuchx]

What can you use instead of crisco?? Can you use vegetable oil? And how long do you put it in the microwave for? Also, could you heat it on a hob? Thanks xx

[lillimarie09]

[crazykatie7398]

[thisiztiah]

[theironpacman]

@thisiztiah You can melt them on your stovetop, keep an eye on them so they don't burn, you'll want to stir them.

[montandonh]

could I use a commercial mixer instead of my hands...even d dough hook?

[avkg1]

[Dnangelrocksify]

wouldnt it be easyer to use marshmellofluff you get in a jar

[Mininify]

Looks fun chewing on that!

[Ponygal78]

[lavivazza]

[sarahchel1]

[coolgirl12395]

What other thing in stead of crisco can you use or where do u buy it

[stavvve]

How long time can I have this fondant in the fridge without it getting old for using?

[annetteeu]

what is crosco i dont live in usa

[stavvve]

@annetteeu

It's fat, but the all the water taking out of it. That give you 100% pure fat.

[TaPetiteSoeur]

Thank you so much for NOT editing out the middle of this video. So many people do, and it's really annoying. Have you ever tried using the marshmallow puff that comes in a can?

[stavvve]

Thank you so much for showing how to do it! 

[01boberto]

if we dont have crisco or what ever, what can we use?

[lovepower065]

how long did you leave it in the microwave ?

please reply ><

[Mizz08Pimp]

I love the song it goes really well with this video great job!!!!

[SuperDiane5]

the watch should be off...not very hygenic

[maitreyaisthebeast]

This song should be outlawed!!!!!

[Unicron4ever]

Give Thumbs-Up if you want that song banned from Youtube...

[amylh322]

@Unicron4ever - (And everyone who took the time to "thumbs up" this hateful comment) How about a thumbs up that someone took the time to teach you something you wanted to know? The negativity on YouTube commenting is ridiculous. Use your hand to turn the sound down, not to gripe! This person isn't being paid to help you!

[FaribaandOmar]

there goes that background music again....

[MyAssyriangirl]

Can I use butter instead of crisco

[nancikynz]

@93princess40 the marshmellows do not need anything to melt, but you can put some water in there and it will help them melt a little more consistent and faster. He just greased the bowl with the crisco then later in the video added some more crisco to the fondant so that it does not get dry and crack.

[joshuaegan75757]

i actually love de song :)

[fan2hit]

Great Video

thanks for tips ;-)

[Maism9]

whats the use of crisco??

is it butter or what??

[Rswipeable]

@Maism9 Crisco is Vegetable Shortening in USA, AUS, Here in the UK its also known as "Lard"

[maitreyaisthebeast]

@Rswipeable Isn't Lard animal fat? We have Lard in the USA too, but too animal fat.

[skullsofreper]

my fondant consistancy was great but i was really wet on the outside and wasnt that great any ideas?

[Datqurlkiki186]

do you use normal sugar or powder sugar its hard to tell by the video ?

[popstarmagasine]

change the fuckin song i ouch cant watch this ouchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my ears hurt

[martina9eld]

[MrsCookieBrookie]

[tylersgirl016]

Sooo I'm totally trying this for my 18th birthday o.0 Imma make a zebra striped cake!!! =O! Something difficult which is what I like xD Thank you for teaching me how! :D

[fritt3erfr0g]

so is it ok to use right after you make it?

[guitrplayr98]

what can i use instead of crisco

[RellyTellyTellz]

It annoys me that you are kneeding with your damn watch on :( take it off or it will get full of sugar and sticky.

[FaribaandOmar]

@RellyTellyTellz lol

[TheMariaevelina]

i live in UAE.. got headache to find shortening... finally i got in carefour sharjah on oil rack.. named vegetable shortening.. you dont get i think you can substitute with vegetable ghee... it is vegetable oil also..

HOW LONG WE KEEP IN FRIDGE BEFORE USING? Tq

[PalomasAPrincess]

is this the same consistency as store boght fondant meaning if i use it to make a cake will it comeout the same as if i bought

[24noemidiaz]

@dulaprincess10000 its like lard

[24noemidiaz]

ThaNks ....:)

[DubaIPrincess10000]

what is crisco since i live outside the states can i use anything else to substitute? may u answer soon

[Cutecvshawty]

At bluekissheart I read other peoples comments saying you can substitute it for unsalted butter. You can go on google and search for other things you can use.

[bluekissheart]

help!!!! Im here in italy,I have all the other ingredient except for the crisco,if you can tell me what can I use in replcement of it....help me please i need to do this before 10th of november....

[mluna1212]

@bluekissheart Crisco is just the name of the brand. Tha actual name of the ingredient is callled shortening...

[Sasabitch18]

i need your helpppp!

I totally tried this,but how did you start kneading them when its out of the microwave? its hot! && mine kinda failed, not the texture i expected :(

reply me,pleaseee? :(

[ncastroclan]

@Sasabitch18 When i take it out, i usually mix in the sugar with a big spoon and as it gets harder to stir, i take it out and hand knead it with some gloves. It should be cool by then

[weakhiker]

look easier than other videos tnx for sharing your knowledge!

[rhonda1304]

i´ve heard that it´s better to use gel food coloring in fondant than liquid but, can I color the marshmellows before melting and after making all the fondant???

[ncastroclan]

@rhonda1304 not before you melt the marshmellows i don't think because it's still in that frim stage from when you bought them. after you melt them is ok though

[rhonda1304]

@ncastroclan Hi...I just did my fondant today using liquid coloring..and it got great!!! I don´t know if my english is good enough, I hope you understand me...

[ncastroclan]

@rhonda1304 I understood. fondant doesn't really matter if you use gell or liquid in my opinion because if you add a little bit of the liquid to the fondant it's still going to be stiff and pliable. But if you add it to icing, it's a bit more "sensitive" to liquids because it's more runnier and spreadable if you get what i mean by that

[criptanizer]

@ncastroclan can i use regular sugar?

butter?

marshmallows?

water?

[maitreyaisthebeast]

@criptanizer Not regular sugar.....

[brooklyn1099]

@rhonda1304 just for future reference, instead of saying 'it got great' you meant to say it worked great :) what you said was understandable, but i was just trying to help a bit. hope you dont think i trying to be rude :/

[rhonda1304]

@brooklyn1099 not at all!!! thanks a lot...

[wubbybubbybubby]

its confectioners sugar

[SuperJadeelizabeth]

i think i'am making my own cake for my birthday LOL

[SuperJadeelizabeth]

crisco is Lard but it is less fat on it. but is that flour or sugar? she doesn't say flour Hummm? can any one tell me? this looks like a good recipe! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BloodyGaaraOfSand]

omg..i should just make fondant rolling my arm workout

[sikkkkbeto]

gay song

[KorieKletecka484]

i love this video. it makes everything so much easier! thank you :)

[Travesty1]

Just for all the British people, I went to Wikipedia for you. Try Cookeen instead of Crisco. I make no guarantees, of course, since I've never even seen that product.

[heihc1120]

i dont live in usa i can find crisco shortening in grocery stores in here, what can i use for sustitute it???plzzz help!

[Gezab]

Confectioner's Sugar

[greekgeek367]

@cnj0321fly I think it is sugar

[Dalmatianlovergirl84]

@cnj0321fly powder sugar

[wubbybubbybubby]

@cnj0321fly its confectioners sugar

[MrsGlitterGlams]

do u have to have crisco is there another way?

[Gezab]

@MrsGlitterGlams

Crisco is just a common brand. What he's using is a product called "shortening". It doesn't have to be Crisco.

[guitrplayr98]

can u add food colouring ??

[clipsryan]

Basically fodant is an enlarged marshmellow that you can't roll and mold. That's what I thought.

[Hersheykissesmuah]

I think u spelled marshmallows wrong lol

[Dami424]

what was it that you added at the end the shortening?

[Arteolike]

lol you look like a kid



[CrackedOutLilGrl]

I don't know why, but I laughed when I seen the fondant in the baggie.

[LNiaa]

Quick question: How do you make the ones that are colorfull, can those only be store bought

[virusvial]

@LNiaa you need to add food coloring then work it together you can add it with the marshmallows but i wouldn't i would add if once its done then split it into how many different colors you want it to be in and food colour them and work each one until its fully incorporated to each thats about it

[thebilliepearl]

crisco is shortening (all vegetable) (;

[ssbittersweet]

how do u know when it's done?

[chefkashira]

@ Gillkyle crisco is vegetable shortning

[Carterxbell]

Beautifuls!

[nadoue07]

thanks for the your recipe

[not4but7now]

good video, except you don't say how long in the microwave.. I notice you put it in the microwave 2 times. for how long? How long of a time to knead the marsh mellow till it is ready. When you put it on the counter, do you grease the counter first or just put the mix on top of it? Thanks
