Hey girl, thought I would give you a couple of tips, since you are always giving us tips. When I sift my powdered sugar I use a tablespoon to just stir it around the strainer. It makes way less mess than if you shake it. And you can smash all those little hard clumps of sugar up with the spoon. I've actually found that I can save clean up time if I do it this way. Second tip, use a measuring cup to add it to the mixer. One like you use to measure your shortening. Much faster than a tablespoon. Maybe this will help you. Thanks for another great video. One of these days I'm gonna try your fondant recipe. The kneading intimidates me lol. By the way, I tried your method of measuring my straws with the sewing ruler. You rock I ain't ever going back, love it. It works perfectly!!!

If it's too soft, you may need to add more sugar. The sugar to liquid ratio isn't rigid, it's always changing depending on humidity. If the fondant isn't forming around the hook in the mixer, you'll need to add more sugar until it does. (Just add a little at a time!)

I must be doing something wrong. I added the water to the bottom of the mixing bowl and then added the sugar, but when I mixed the sugar and marshmallow, the sugar on the bottom that went in the water was like a rock. I had to scrape the sides of the bowl while mixing too, and my fondant had hundreds of tiny lumps through it. This has happened twice. This time I used a spoon to crush each lump and it too hours. There will still be lumps I missed. I couldn't throw it out. Argh. I am using pure icing sugar (in Australia). Should I be using an icing sugar with additives? I'm going to make a small batch to experiment. My grandson's cake is due in one week. The fondant coloured up perfectly however, black and red, so there was some positives. Appreciate any help.

Hello again! Let me start by saying I love love love your recipe! There's a little problem... I'm trying to use an acrylic stamp however the fondant keeps sticking to I've added cornstarch however it's still sticking Should I be using more cornstarch or more powdered sugar I heard somewhere that adding more powdered sugar expands the water in the fondant something like that Maybe you can help me thank you in advance!

If it's sticking, I would add a little Gum Tex / Tylose powder to it to help the fondant stiffen up. If you already did that, roll out the fondant and let it sit for 15-20 minutes before you use the stamp. You can also take a small paint brush and brush a very light coat of shortening on the stamp before pressing it into the fondant. (Don't use too much shortening! Just a tiny amount.)

Hi. I watched all your videos and made the cake successful. Now I am thinking about buying a kitchin aid stand mixer. But lots of variety. Can you recommend me? I got it from Costco today but bowl - lift style one. I did not open it yet. You use a tilt head style. What do you think? Thanks.

I prefer the tilt head rather than the bowl lift. I personally feel like the bowl lift isn’t as sturdy and I blew the motor out a few times making big batches of icing with the bowl lift. For some reason it can’t withstand the intense mixing. So I never used one again!

Hi Karolyn, I finally got round to making your marshmallow fondant that I've been excited to make. I followed the recipe but now I have a lovely tasting rubber ball. It has no stretch or movement. It appeared lovely at first but after coming back to it the next day... Awful! When made, I added just under a teaspoon of tylose and have kept it covered in cling film and in an airtight container. Can you help please? What did I do wrong? 😳😳 PS my marshmallow didn't melt as quick as yours in the microwave so I had to keep putting back in. I have super giant marshmallows. Could that have affected it?
