[HenseChannel]

Can u make it without marshmellows

[the2pinkladies]

@HenseChannel There are other recipes out there, but I don't recall there being any that make fondant without marshmellows.

[ddkim611]

Hello! Does the fondant dry out and get hard when u leave it out? I want to make flowers out of them, but im not sure if it will harden, for it is my very first time! thanks!!!

[the2pinkladies]

@ddkim611 it can get dry leaving it out. If you want to make flowers that are more sturdy, I recommend using gumpaste. it will hold those flowers you want to make really well.

[Mae1212Mae]

Why is it always marshmallow?

[KaeDays]

@Mae1212Mae RIGHT?! I was thinking the exact same thing.

[BooBooKittieFckk]

Does the type of food coloring matter? Can you use the liquid kind?

[the2pinkladies]

@BooBooKittieFckk yes you can use the liquid kind. :)

[desha33456]

[jammie129]

I messed mine up, its really hard. Is there any way to fix it??

[HugeDogLuver]

Is marmallow fondant the same as regular fondant? Which one is better? :/

[the2pinkladies]

@HugeDogLuver I think so. I make marshmellow which I believe tastes better.

[dearestrecords]

how long can i keep these in the fridge? thanks!

[MrBebeko05]

im from Philippines :) and i want to try your recipe.. since we dont have here a crisco what will i do? what is crisco by the way ?is that oil ,shortening ? sorry for my english im not good with it XD

[the2pinkladies]

@MrBebeko05 Hi there! Yes Crisco is the brand name for Shortening. I hope you have it. I will see if there is another recipe you could use to make fondant without shortening.

Thanks

[Zumoshitekato12]

@MrBebeko05 Crisco is shortening

[alexascott37]

how much water

[karla12flores]

@MrBebeko05 Hi. you may buy Crisco from chocolate lovers. :) saw it awhile ago there.

[MsVyly]

Please answer this question. The powdered sugar icing, it seems like there is ALOT does it make the sweetness overpowering? because i want to make a cake for my mom and dont want it way to sweet.

[the2pinkladies]

@MsVyly If you are speaking of the buttercream icing...I love it.  I think is just adds to the taste of the cake. With the cake not being too sweet, the buttercream is perfect.

If you are speaking of the fondant...I still think it's perfect. You would have to add alot of powered sugar to make it too sweet.

[MsVyly]

@the2pinkladies THANK YOU SO MUCH! ^_^

[gracemarquezharper]

do you need Crisco? 0~o

[the2pinkladies]

@gracemarquezharper yes you do need crisco.

[pinayatlove9]

This is more helpful than other ones i've seen.

[the2pinkladies]

@pinayatlove9 thank you!

[bettyboop115573]

hi could you please answer quickly im making a cake this weekend! when i used this recipe a while ago it kinda turned out, but then when i tried to cut it, the fondant wouldnt cut and it was really chewy?? please help!!!!

[the2pinkladies]

@bettyboop115573 Sorry, I hope it's not too late to answer your question.  It might be you have used too much marsh mellow or overcooked it. Or maybe you could add more moisture to the mix. Hope it helps. Good luck!

[Megashorty225]

does that taste bad? cuz i made a different marshmallow recipe and it tasted awful

[the2pinkladies]

@Megashorty225 No it's delicious! What recipe did you use?

[MILKSHEAKMURDER]

u still have ur rings on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jerve123]

can we use butter instead of crsico??

[the2pinkladies]

@jerve123 never have tried that. it seems it might make the fondant too soft and turn it yellow.

[pinkstarkisser94]

Loved this video from all the others !!!!

[Lust233]

great video, could you write down the steps please?

[Kat122892]

Did the fondant stick to your rings after you did this?

[the2pinkladies]

Yes you can add food coloring to findant

[andrewarcher]

@ ybelinda08

I have used this size batch for a three layer cake and still had some (but not much) left. It may depend on how think or thin you make it also. There should not be a Crisco flavor because you only use Crisco on your hands as you mix it together. It is fun and anyone watching you begin the mixing process will laugh at you because it's so messy. But it gets better the longer you mix it. takes about 8-10 minutes. Good luck!

[ybelinda08]

Up to what sicmze of a cake can this cover?

Does it end up having some of the crisco flavor? I'm amazed how easy it is to make!

[moxmox1]

could you use jar of Marshmellow Creme?

[the2pinkladies]

@moxmox1 You know, I've never tried that, but I think the key is to have it "newly" melted in order to mix it. I don't think it would mix well if its out of the jar. Unless you warm it up. doesnt hurt to try. :) Good luck.

[the2pinkladies]

@pixiegrl8701 absolutely! AFter it is mixed you can add any color you want to. have fun! Thanks.
