How Do You Make Fondant?

how_to_make_fondant Making fondant is sort of like making bread but easier. It involves some heavy kneading to make the dough soft and pliable.

Here is what you will need before you begin and then I will show you how to make fondant...

Recipe For Fondant

Makes enough to cover a 10 inch round cake by 4 inches high

  • 2 pounds. of confectioners' sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon of unflavored gelatin
  • 3 Tablespoons of cold water
  • 1/2 cup of light corn syrup(or glucose)
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons glycerin)
  • 1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract

You will also need...

  • A flour sifter
  • A standing electric mixer with a paddle attachment
  • A double boiler or one pan inside of another as in the photo
  • Rubber spatula
  • Metal bench scraper

*Tip:Fondant should never be put into the refrigerator, it will become a sticky mess.


How To Make Fondant

Sift 1 1/2 pounds of confectioners' sugar into a large standing mixer bowl. Set aside.

In the top of a double boiler, stir the gelatin into the cold water. Dissolve over simmering water until clear.

Remove from the heat and stir in the corn syrup, glycerin and vanilla.

With the mixer on low speed slowly pour the gelatin mixture into the sugar which was set aside in the large bowl.

Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula. Continue beating on medium speed until well combined and very sticky.

Scrape the sticky fondant onto a clean work surface and knead in the remaining 1/2 pound confectioners' sugar, a little at a time.

Knead until the dough is pliable.

Shape the fondant into a smooth ball. Cover with plastic wrap and place in an airtight container overnight.

Do not refrigerate.
