Thanks to you for watching! I love helping people out with the videos, so I'm glad you find them easy to follow.
Great! Thanks so much for watching!
@pseftigirl there is a product called tylose which can be used as a thickening agent for fondant (and is what we use). it can be found at most cake decorating supply stores. i'm not sure about cornstarch though.
@pseftigirl is your fondant homemade? if yes, then you can keep it in the fridge...use the microwave to warm it up (in 10sec intervals). if you don't have to put it in the fridge, i recommend that you don't. just leave it in an airtight container and it will keep just fine until you need it in january.
thank you so much! i think a TV show might be a ways away, but one can always dream :) i'm a school teacher by day (kindergarten) so the teaching aspect of the channel comes naturally to me, but thank you for saying such kind words.
I use a Canadian distributor but you could try Amazon or ebay too...or Americolor's website.
they're just 2 different brands that sell gel paste. yes you can use wilton to colour fondant.
I know I've commented before but I just honestly find you so likable, you manage to be knowledgeable and (for lack of a better word) educational without being condescending or superior (lookin' at you, Mich Turner) which is a rare find! I'll be keeping an eye out for your TV show but in the meantime, please keep the videos coming! :)
I like wilton tools, but if you're looking for fondant etc, I prefer Satin Ice. If you have other things you want suggestions on, please feel free to send me a message :)
What are you using to colour the gum paste? And what are you using to draw the white and black spots on?
You can get them at any cake supply store or craft store...or online...try ebay and amazon for some good deals.
I use Americolor gel usually and you can get it on ebay, amazon etc. In Canada, I get it from Golda's Kitchen.
Yes, if your fondant is premade, you can still color it with the gel pastes.
I use Satin Ice brand and get it at cake supply stores, both locally and online.
i buy my fondant at cake supply stores. you can try online supply store, or sometimes ebay, and amazon have them.
Thanks for mentioning our Chefmaster liqua-gel! Your video for dying fondant was great!
Liquid food colour would make it too runny in my opinion....but if you try it, and it works, let me know and Ill pass it on! As you can tell in my video, the red dye took so much, it made it super sticky...and the heat in the kitchen didn't help!! I would be worried the liquid stuff would make it way too runny as it isn't as concentrated as the gel colours.
Sure sounds like a good idea! have fun!
Have you tried the vanilla with chocolate ganache filling? It's really good! Or maybe our chocolate cake, with a chocolate mousse covering....yummmm, I wish I could come to the party!
Thanks for doing red. It seems like whenever there's a fondant dying tutorial, the colours selected are always pastels. Its nice to see the reality of exactly how much dye is required to achieve that beautiful red.
sorry, but chocolate is not my forte...but i would guess, that yes it could be used just like it is for icing??
cornstarch would be my pick for it
gel colouring is much stronger/concentrated and produces more vibrant colours
You should be able to keep it for a long time if it's stored in a sealed container. I usually have mine in a ziplock, inside a sealed tupperware.
really you are creative ...i love your channel so much
so i have a question
where can i store the fondant?? and how long can i store ? how many days?
thank u 😙
You can get the little bucket (2 lbs) for $8 to $10 if you shop around.
yes
how long can you store fondant once dyed (and where?) I plan on making my parents a huge 25th anniversary cake and want to know if i can get started on the fondant early
i really love your videos. they are so easy to follow thanx jen
Thanks so much!
I don't know the exact number of days, but I am able to keep mine for months...just make sure all the air is out :)
this fondant (store bought) does not need to be in the fridge. you can mix it whenever you want ahead of time.
My dad is from Holland! :D But from me, greetingh from Romania!
Once you have coloured your fondant 2 u need 2 storeit in the fridge? If not then where? & How long can the mixed/coloured fondant be stored for before u have 2 use it?
I am a big fan of your cakes and I realy like to learn more..
I only have a few questions:
You told you were buying those bottle online, witch website do you use??
And can I also buy them in Holland??
Thanx for uploading, greeings from Holland

Hi lovely video thank you. I was just making a polar bear figure but the black eyes in gum paste that I placed on the white polar bear's face bled the black colour a bit on the white face (I coloured the black parts seconds before applying them)! Is there some time I need to wait before assembling coloured components of figurine to stop this happening? Thanks!

Hi I'm going to try and do this with yellow (making a sponge on squarepants cake) can I use the concentrated gel with ready to roll fondant/icing
Do you do the same thing with a thicker, more "solid" gel?
Where did you buy your fondant? I have a hobby of baking.... And I'm only 13 haha but I really like your channel. It's helping me learn a lot for future purposes. Thanks :D
After putting it in the zip lock bag where do u store it, fridge, freezer or pantry? & how long can u keep it once it's colored?....... Also once u open the Satin Ice fondant tubs, do u still store the uncolored/unused fondant in that tub at room temp or once opened does it need 2 b stored in the fridge?...... Also i've tried coloring fondant before & it became really sticky & stuck 2 my hands & benchtop, how do i prevent this? From Australia PLEASE HELP
When it starts to stick to your fingers you can use a little bit of Cisco on your hands and it will not stick to them.

Hi, I'm a cupcake and cake decorator and my business is just getting well known. I do a lot of different colours for cupcake orders and I was wondering if buying a set of large Americolor food colours online, pack of 41, for $250au was worth it? I have the money, and I've been using the sample colours for a while now and I love the product.
Another important difference to mention between Fondant and Gumpaste is that Gumpaste gets hard because it has Tylose added to it. FYI: I find the best thing to get the stains from food coloring off my hands is white vinegar.
you should put it in an airtight bag (ziplock) or container at room temperature
Can u use the same colors for icing
Does using a lot of dye mthe fondant taste bad? And how would you get pink
Does satin ice taste as good as marshmallow fondant? Also why did you choose satin ice rather than wilton fondant?
I've had both - wilton tastes terrible - satin ice is much better! I make my own marshmallow fondant because everyone says it tastes better! and it's a little bit different texture - (and cheaper) but it does take a lot of work to make :) hope this helps!
I looked for websites for these colors and I can't find what looks like a lefit sote to buy from. Where so you buy from?
did you bought it on Amazon? because I am looking for gel paste. what kind of colors do you have? or you can just give me the url :D Thanks :D
I wanna try progel colouring but haven't really heard of it...
did you say where you get your dye? I didn't catch that.
Where do u get those huge bottles!
Can you buy fonda, do I put the fonda in icebox , how long can it stay in icebox
Where did you get your fondant and gum paste?
& because of the stickiness i tried add icing sugar but it made the fondant weird because i had to use tonnes of icing sugar because i used a lot of color paste especially when making dark colors like black, dark brown or red. Please help this Beginner
OK that's a lot and I will always be one of your subscribers
But after u'v mixed it & don't use it right away how & where do u store it?
Is it a the clouring liquid color
Can you dye the marshmallow fondant???
Dakota Mcshane Yes, you can with gel paste.
I tried dyeing marshmallow fondant and it got mushy.. I’ve given up on fondant because it doesn’t matter what I do, I can’t dye it...
