Hi, thank you so much for posting this video, I loved it!
I was simply wondering if the bags were the 16oz type or the 10,5oz? I have been working with fondant for almost two years, but I really wanted to try your recipe with the gum tragacanth.
Thanks in advance!

Hi! Looks great and I can’t wait to try it out. How much gum tragacanth do you use? You start to say but it gets cut out….thanks!

Hi! Luv your cakes. On the MMF – how do you store it and for how long? Thanks so much.

You wrap the fondant in shortening and several layers of plastic, and it will store for about 2 weeks at room temperature. After that it gets too dry to use.

3 bags of marshmallows 1/3 C water – melt together
1 tsp gum tragacanth (not necessary, but helps with elasticity) – if using sift into powdered sugar
4 lbs. powdered sugar – Sift all sugar. Stir into melted marshmallow. Then, once it’s to difficult to stir turn out on countertop that has been greased with shortening and knead in remaining sugar
Coat ball of fondant in shortening to keep moist
Wrap in several layers of plastic wrap to keep fresh
Best if used next day.
You take it from here:
What do you think? Good? Bad? Ugly? Did we miss something? Something on your mind? Does that photo of a cheesecake remind you of that hamster you had when you were six? You know, the one who got out of his cage and scared your Grandma durring Thanksgiving dinner? Well, whatever it is, you know we'd love to hear it!
