Fondant? -
08-04-2010, 12:51 AM
I want an opinion from people regarding this stuff. While staying at the hotels I often would land on the food network as much of the rest of what was on was not Christian viewing (sometimes the food network wasn't either, who is that foul mouthed scotch?)
Anyway, I watched a few professional cake shows and they're using this stuff called Fondant. I've never even heard of it before. I was in the baking store today to pick up a candy thermometer for my sugar free jams, and there were packages of it on the shelf. I went on the Internet and there's recipes for it (although they suggest you buy your first batch so you know what real fondant is).
So ladies, and interested gentlemen, I was wondering, has anyone tasted this stuff? Is it any good? Or should I stick with the good old fashioned icing recipes that are at least 3 generations old?

I have tried the stuff, and I enjoy it, definitely a good alternative if you do not have the time to make your other type of icing (I don't know how intensive your other icing recipe is). It may be worth a try just to experiment a little.
Genesis 4:12: When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
Numbers 35:19: The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.

I have never heard of it before, perhaps they don't have it were I live. I looked at some of the recipes, it sounds like a variant of icing.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth
Proverbs 19:25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
Ezekiel 16:14 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
Proverbs 6:25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
Genesis 24:16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
Song of Solomon 1:15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.

Ever had a Cadberry Creme Egg Lisa H? The inside filling is a form of fondant.

To keep the kids from getting too much sugar at once, we have always used an icing recipe that, surprisingly enough, is based on white sauce (flour, milk, butter).
Just add some confectioners sugar, and a little food coloring if you really want to live on the edge, and you get something that sets up like icing but has 2/3 less sugar.
We always stress Godly moderation in everything at my house.
Jud 1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are un Godly among them of all their un Godly deeds which they have un Godly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which un Godly sinners have spoken against him.

# 1 cup light corn syrup
# 1 cup shortening
# 1/2 teaspoon salt
# 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
# 2 pounds confectioners' sugar.
(Serves one)
This is for Buttercream fondant, and very fine it is too. Try and get non-fattening corn syrup and the 2 pounds of sugar should be the stuff filled with vitamins and fiber (If you can find it.) I must say I like the salty taste, so I'd up the weight of that as well.
It can be eaten as it is with a big spoon after a supersized bacon-cheeseburger... delicious, all natural and healthy!

My mother used to make fondant quite a bit before I was born... it was big in the 1970s. Maybe because people were too coked up for icing in the decade of Satan!
Whosoever transgresseth , and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

I had never heard of it either until I watched these cake baking shows. Then I saw it in the craft store.

I was looking at the recipe and it seems more difficult than icing. Maybe I'm wrong, I've never tried to make it. Usually I make no cook icings. (butter, icing sugar, flavouring) I used to do peanut butter icing, but since Seth hates peanuts.... :shrug:

I am glad to see that you are confident about your sexuality Mr Bathwater and not put of from sharing a recipe or two by those that are not so secure.

Fondant is so much like icing that most people don't even realize the difference. It is just more stable and easier to use. As you probably saw in the cooking shows, it helps give your cakes a cleaner look. It still has all of the delicious flavor of icing though, no worries!

As if I'm going to trust the words of Unsaved Trash that hates us. You'd probably suggest I add rat poison and feed it to my children.

Well I saw you watch the Food Network. You know it's run by a Jew, right? And most of the people on the cake shows are either Catholic or atheist. I just thought since you watched it, you must be one of us. And feeding your children rat poison probably isn't the best idea. However, if you do happen to get it, I'd say your posts on here will supply you with a pretty solid insanity plea option in the states

In my opinion fondant actually tastes pretty weird. One of my friends had it on his birthday cake last year. I didn't even eat all of the fondant part. It wasn't bad, it just tasted odd. It might have just been because it was black, and black frosting tastes strange, too. I think it's because food coloring has a kind of bitter taste, so if you plan on using food coloring in the fondant, don't use a lot of it.

I've tried a little different way of making fondant. It's not as easy to mold as fondant, but I think it tastes better and is easier to make.
Put 3 or 4 marshmellows in a bowl and microwave them until they are dobbelsized (around 30 to 45 seconds) and then mix it with icing sugar.
Then add any color you like.

until it's rollable?
Maybe I should just break down and buy some (the boards I've been on say to buy your first batch so you know what you're dealing with).
Then again, hubby's happy with my icing so maybe I should just stick with that. Butter, flavoring, icing sugar, coloring until it looks right.

Yes, until it's rollable. It's sounds strange but it's also wise to dust icing sugar out on the table before rolloing it out. Then it doesn't stick to the table as much.

Don't fix something that isn't broken.
