Here How to make (gelatin) fondant

I have made this recipe three times. It's ok. It came out ok every time.

You'r going to need
2 lb. of confecioner's sugar ( its about 8 cups) sifted
1 Tbs. Glycerin
2 Tbs. vegateble shortening
any kind of flavor
1/4 C. cold water
1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1/2 C. of glucose or corn syrup
and any color that you may want

Add the gelatin to the water and let it get set to semi firm stage

Then you can put it in the microwave for about 30 second intervals
until the gelatin dissolves

Add the shortening and mix


At this time you can sift half of your sugar into a medium size bowl or as I have into a mixer

Right before you'r shortening melts your going to add it to your sugar

Make a well in the middle of the sugar

Pour the mixture in

Mix on low at first, until it looks combine add more of the sugar until you'r mixer is about to struggle

It should look a little like this. Way to sticky!!



Flop the mixture onto your surface thats lightly dusted with powder sugar. And kneed the rest of the sugar until its not sticking to your hands anymore.

Make a ball out of your fondant and lighlty coat it with shortening
