HELP I JUST CAN'T GET THIS FONDANT STUFF RIGHT
Okay so I thought I had nailed making my own MMF, but after I let the fondant rest for the 12 hours it was supposed to, the consistency changed completely. So here is the recipe I used....
16 oz. marshmallows
6 cups powdered sugar
1 Tbls. walter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 Tbls. Corn Syrup.
So I greased up the bowl and the spoon, poured the marshmallows, water, corn syrup and extract into the bowl microwaved in 30 second intervals for one and a half minutes...stirred well and add one cup at a time for three cups and then took the remaining three cups and put on a counter top and then poured out the marshmallow mixture and kneaded in the sugar. So after I did this the consistency was exactly right and I was so excited that I had finally mastered making fondant. I greased it up and wrapped it in saran and then put in zip top bag to let it sit for 12 hours...and then when I unwrapped it, it looked like in the video I attached. Can someone please help me. I love working with fondant, but want people to like the way it tastes instead of peeling it off. I have had this trouble before and have gotten so much advice as to what to do, but none of it worked. I have tried several recipes...still not right. Can someone please solve this for me I am desperate. I have two cakes next week that I would like to make fondant for.

UGHHHHHH....I made some yesterday & I've tasted it, but I haven't tried working with it yet. I didn't add vanilla or corn syrup to mine so there's no telling what I'm going to get, lol.
I'm sorry you are having so much trouble. :(

I hope yours will be better. It seems I am the only person though that has a problem with Fondant making. :-) Totally frustrating, because it is so expensive to purchase plus it tastes awful...to make it is cheap and tastes yummy.

I've had my fondant go all mushy on me so I refrigerated it for a little while and it firmed up. (It was hot that day).

Thanks so much I am not set on MMF...I just want a tasty fondant. Something people won't peel off when they eat a slice. I will try this recipe as well. I am not going to give up until I master fondant.

One thing to keep in mind -- you won't convert everyone into fondant lovers. I used to bother me that people didn't like something I made. Doesn't stop me from finding the best recipe though. I have converted some fondant haters.
