Fondant icing or fondant is an edible icing used to decorate cakes and pastries. Most of the people have a wrong concept about fondant that it is not edible. You are wrong, it is EDIBLE! It is made our of icing sugar, corn syrup, gelatin and butter. This is easy to make but got to be little careful while making the dough since it will be too sticky..! You can find some pictures below. The cakes I decorated using fondant icing..!!!
Ingredients:
Icing Sugar 500 gm
Gelatin 20 gm
Butter 50 gm
Corn syrup 2 tbsp.
Glycerin 1 tbsp.
Corn starch as required to knead the dough
Method:
1. Soak gelatin in 1/4 cup of water for 10 mins.
2. Melt the gelatin in microwave.
3. In the same bowl add corn syrup, cubed butter, glycerin and heat in microwave until the butter is completely melted.
4. Let it cool down.
5. In an electric stand mixer with paddle attachment, add icing sugar and the gelatin mixture and knead to a dough.
6. If you feel it too thin add some more icing sugar.
7. Now take out the dough out of the stand mixer and place on a corn starch powdered surface.
8. Knead this well into a dough. You must dust your hands with corn starch or grease with butter in order to knead it well and not to stick onto hands.
9. Keep this refrigerated for at least 2 hrs before using.
10.This can be stored for 6 months in fridge. Top your cakes with the tasty fondant :) :)
