Notes:
- This recipe is softer than our Decorator Preferred Fondant and is best used for simpler, flatter flowers such as these mini blossoms.
- To prevent sticking when rolling: Prepare your surface with solid vegetable shortening or a dusting pouch filled with equal parts cornstarch and powdered sugar.
- Avoid lint and dirt: Fondant picks up dirt and lint easily. Be sure your hands are clean when handling and avoid wearing fuzzy sweaters during decorating.
- How to store: After decorating, store leftovers carefully. Roll into a ball or log shape, coat with a thin film of white vegetable shortening, then wrap in plastic wrap. Place wrapped fondant in an airtight container and store at room temperature. If needed, this recipe will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks. To reuse, bring back to room temperature and knead the fondant a few minutes before rolling.
