Hi kids I'm typically a SFFer but in my off-hours I like to cook and bake. I've been enjoying making cupcakes (my favorite thus far is a tossup between my red velvet cupcakes and my beer cupcakes). I've seen some incredible decorations, and have recently learned that the tool used is fondant.
I've been looking for a video on how fondant is prepared, but I can't find what I want.
I'm not looking for a video for marshmallow fondant. While this looks like a very easy way to make fondant, I'd really rather make it the "original" way (butter, corn syrup, etc).
I'm not looking for a recipe. (I mean, I could be. If you have a good one. But I know how to Google the words "fondant" and "recipe" in the same line and don't want to use you as my search engine.)
The reason I'd like a video is that I've never been instructed in how to cook or bake, and I don't know a lot of the "tips and tricks." For instance, I read about coating the board/pin in sugar to keep the fondant from sticking. Wouldn't have thought of that on my own.
So, if you have an instructional video on making (not using, but making) fondant in your back pocket, or maybe have somewhere a good, detailed description on how to make it, I'd really appreciate it I've done a search on AW for fondant and have come up dry.
Thanks for your time!
