Or you can use shortening over your hand to make a layer on your skin so the colour doesnt absorb lol
I’ve tried that too... Not as effective as wearing gloves! Thanks for sharing and watching 💕

That’s super exciting! Thanks for watching and best of luck on your cake!
Fondant make a cake look so pretty when applied right. Very professional video.
When people are just starting out, they tend to roll it too thick when covering a cake. This isn't a good thing because 1) Fondant is expensive and 2) Most people don't like fondant and they peel it off anyway. Thanks for watching Momma Gail!
@@AsiaCoffee yeah, that is true. I personally don't like the taste of it.
@@AsiaCoffee 00

Hi, thank you for this amazing video. Very helpful. I have a question. I am new to baking and i have started making Marshmallow fondant. I feel it dries out very quickly when i try to decorate. I am planning to use same fondant to cover a cake. How do i keep the fondant soft so it doesn't dry quickly.
I’ve never made marshmallow fondant, but I plan to make a video about it soon! I imagine your fondant behaves a lot like store-bought fondant, so I will offer the following tips:
1. Make sure that your fondant is covered in plastic wrap when you’re not working with it.
2. If your fondant seems especially dry, try spritzing it with a very small amount of water, then knead the fondant.
Best of luck on your cake and thanks for watching!
“Unless you wanna look like you’ve committed a terrible crime”😂😂 Anyways, I loved watching your video Asia, and thanks again!💝
Very informative video!! Thanks a lot. I will be working with fondant for the first time in a few days. Can I spread the fondant over my cake and refrigerate it for a day or two?
Yes you can! Thanks for watching! 💕
Thanks for the tips. What should you do after rolling to remove the 'whiteness' on your fondant from a result of the cornstarch?
Gently remove as much as you can with a pastry brush. If more cornstarch residue removes, remove it with a little little it of steam. Too much steam will make your fondant very shiny. Thanks for watching!
@@AsiaCoffee wow thanks for the reply. Much appreciated 😊😊
What can we use instead of white vegetable shortening?
Thanks! Love your video btw!
Cornstarch
Or powdered sugar
I don't have shortening, can I use cooking spray or coconut oil? Also how long does it take to dry and how do I store it? I'm in Middle Tennessee and its summer out but cooler in the house.
Thank you. - Ms. Lhen
Thank you for watching!😃
Hello I'm a newbie here... I like to start making fondant.. And I want to learn more
Welcome to the world of cake decorating! 💕 I always buy fondant, but I’m going to experiment and make my own fondant from scratch soon. Perhaps I’ll record my first try and upload it for you all... 🤔 Thanks for watching!
I've never worn gloves when working with fondant; I guess that I should probably start!!
How do you like the Satin Ice fondant? I've only used WIlton.
This video is awesome! Great job, Asia!
Satin Ice is pretty good, but Renshaw is my favorite (although it's not as accessible as other brands). I use Wilton fondant when I teach because the texture is easier for beginners to work with.😉 Thanks for checking out my video, Michelle!
@@AsiaCoffee That is so helpful - thank you! I'm excited to "work" with you. This should be a fun adventure!!
@@AsiaCoffee Which is odd considering Renshaw is the only brand of fondant stores really sell where I live
Lucky you! 💕
Hello lovely tips.
I use condensed milk frosting in my cakes. Will the fondant adhere to that? Thank you in advance
Good tips.... I use fondant rarely.... But I've seen great reviews on The Master Elites from SUGAR ARTS.... Last a long time and you dont have to use as much. 💜 No matter the color.
Thanks so much for sharing that recommendation! 💕
Lovely video! Quick question: If I cover my cake in store-bought frosting instead of buttercream, will the fondant stick just fine?
Yes, fondant will stick to your cake covered in store-bought icing, BUT you have to be careful. Store-bought icing (unless it’s Wilton or CK brand) tends to be really soft. You’ll need to refrigerate the cake to stiffen the icing BEFORE covering in fondant. Otherwise, the fondant will slip and slide, and you don’t want that. Thanks for watching!
I went to a birthday party and eating the cake was just like eating chewing gum or something and the cake was a mass of fondant, that was something I didn't like about it. And thanks for telling us these tips so if I make cake covered with fondant I will surely check this video again.
I’m glad you mentioned that! The texture and chewiness of fondant is a bit awkward for most people. 😂 Thanks for watching.
