I never used fondant b/c I hate the taste - but this was okay. It tasted similar to a Necco wafer. Cut out circles and put on a birthday cake - and all the kids at the party wanted more "circle candies"!

This didn't work out for me at all when I made it. I had to throw it away, but I think it was because I put too much powdered sugar in the fondant. Next time, I'll try it with less powdered sugar.

I have never made fondant before and really didn't know what to expect, but this recipe turned out great and everyone was completely impressed. The only problem I had was that the fondant was too sticky when I kneaded in the sugar and I ended up using about 2/3 cup extra sugar. However, I made it on a very humid day and probably should have just refrigerated it for an hour or two instead, since it ended up just a tiny bit too stiff. Also, I used 8 drops of blue food coloring and ended up with a very pastel shade, so you might want to use quite a bit more if you want a dark or bold color. I had a lot of fun making this recipe.

Excellent recipe for a good tasting fondant.Made a bridal shower cake & it rolled out really well. I used my Kitchenaid mixer and then kneaded it on the counter until smooth.Stored fondant in plastic wrap in a ziplock bag. I used corn syrup with the water like other reviewers and it turned out fine. Thanks for posting this receipe. It's a keeper for me. Many compliments from guests.

This is a really good recipe. It is much easier than other ones I have seen and it comes out the same. It was fun to make and work with, but very sweet to eat.

This is AWESOME!!! I wanted to do something special for my daughters' 2nd birthday and this was it! I would recommend if you have a bread machine, clean it out and use it on the dough setting to give this fondant a good knead. It has an excellent consistence and rolled out AMAZING, this was my first time using ANY fondant. I couldn't find glycerin to use so I just added 1TBS vegetable oil and it worked great and tastes great!

I loved this recipe! I did sub some things. I didn't have gelatin so I used two table spoons of corn starch instead. I also used corn syrup and didn't use glycerin. On the suggestion of another reviewer, I used one teaspoon of almond extract in lieu of vanilla and it really added something to the taste! Great. Don't use too much powdered sugar or it will crack!

I made this with a 13 year old, 9 year old, and 4 year old and it was great. We got powdered sugar EVERYWHERE! But the recipe was amazing and was easier to work with than I orginially expected. This tasted MUCH better than any other fontant I've tasted. Thanks!

I loved this recipe! This was my first experience making and even tasting fondant, and it couldn't have gone better! Just a few tips: -If the fondant is too dry, rather than adding water, it helps to put it in the microwave for a few seconds (5-10). -Fondant will keep (wrapped) for a month or two at room temperature. Refrigerating it will dry it and it wont work nearly as well the next time.

Wow. This is a great recipe. I tried the Wilton boxed stuff and it tastes like Play doh, but this is more like it. Easy enough but you do need to use some muscle to get it nicely mixed.

I love this recipe! its easy to work with and tastes great! i took the idea of using 3 TBSP of water and corn syrup instead of the gluclose.. i found that using just vanilla extract was way to sweet.. i add 1 tsp vanilla and another teaspoon of imitation butter extract! people complement me on the taste of the fondant! its nice you can use any flavoring .. i stick with the vanilla/almond/butter/coconut.. these seem to go with most cake recipes!

I loved this recipe. This was my fist time "making" fondant instead of buying it. I also used the corn sytup with 3 Tablespoons of water and it worked great. The only thing that I would suggest is to make and use it on the same day. I put mine in a ziploc bag in the fridge to store it. I tried to roll it out the next next day and is was very difficult. I left it out at room temp for 5 hours waitting for it to get soft It never happed. Oh well my mistake now I know. :)

This was my first time working with fondant and it went really well. I used a kitchen aid mixer as suggested, and I also substituted corn syrup for glucose. I will definitely use this recipe again!!
