      Icing Only - Kim Knott

      Chapter 1 Basic Decorator Icings

      Basic Rolled Fondant (Sugarpaste)

      1/4 cup water

      4 teaspoons powdered unflavored gelatin

      1/2 cup liquid glucose

      1 tablespoon glycerin

      1 tablespoon butter

      7 cups icing sugar

      1. Measure water in a heat proof bowl and add gelatin. Let stand for 3 minutes.

      2. Add unflavored gelatin, glucose, glycerin and butter to the bowl and then place the bowl in a large pot partially filled with hot but not boiling water.

      3. Stir until the unflavored gelatin dissolves and the butter melts.

      4. To the gelatin mixture in the heatproof bowl, add 4 cups of icing sugar. Stir together with a wooden spoon or use an electric mixer.

      5. Pour mixture out onto a surface spread with icing sugar and knead in the rest of the icing sugar. (3 cups)

      6. Place in an airtight container or freezer bag right away.

      Notes: If the icing is sticky add more icing sugar. This recipe makes very nice rolled fondant that looks professional. If you want to use fondant after a few days and it goes hard, it can be softened by microwaving it for 30 seconds.

      Storage guidelines for the fondants in this booklet

      Room temperature - 4 days

      Refrigerator - 3 weeks

      Freezer - 3 months

      Hint: A fondant mat takes all the stress out of rolling and placing fondant on cakes. A fondant mat is two pieces of food safe plastic that you roll the fondant between eliminating the need to dust with icing sugar. It eliminates cracking and elephant skin and enables a decorator to roll out the fondant very thin and therefore use less fondant. It also slows down drying as you work (See Appendix A - J. Wilton Distributors).
