Hi Rhochae,

powdered sugar and confectioners’ sugar are the same thing, so you can use this recipe.

Thanks, Zoë

Hi Liz,

You mix the color in after the fondant is done. Here is a video on mixing in the color: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrO-hvbxpRA&list=UUnLXSFdNBPDozhsyJfgyIkg&index=6

I am so excited to try this! First time using fondant. I will be trying to make a ford mustang cake and I want it red, when will it be good to mix in the color? I will be using the Wilton paste. It will be for Jan 6, so I would have to make the cake either Friday or Saturday for it to be all ready by Sunday morning. Where should I store the cake(refrigerator?), I live in Oklahoma and it tends to get really humid. Oh man! I hope it comes out good! I’ve been looking for a good/easy fondant recipe, I hope everyone likes this one!

Hye Zoe,
So glad I got bumped into your blog. I’ve also been trying to make the fondant from scatch (took class to learn it). But I have 1 problem, after few days (stored in plastic container in cupboard) my fondant have spots, smells funny and taste bad. Do you know why this happens and how to prevent it to happened again. My figurine/flower fondant also have spots although it already dry. By the way, my recipe almost the same as yours, just exclude the corn syrup. And I live in tropical weather…pls help coz I’ m really in dead-end.

Hi Payal,

I have not tried it, but you may want to try golden syrup? But, start with a small batch, since I am not sure it will work?

Thanks, Zoë
