As an artist who works with all mediums imaginable, I thought I knew what to do with fondant. But everything you said was definitely something I did NOT know. Great advice!!
Exactly what I needed!!! Thank you so so much; my daughter wanted to do a special baking project and 😅 sure don’t want to ruin the fondant it ain’t cheap!
This is THE best video on fondant for beginners EVER!!!!!! I'm about to decorate a cake with fondant for the very first time and this was soooo helpful thank you!!!
Thank you so much for creating this video! I hadn't known about any of these no-no's (except gloves). You are really helpful and sound kind! I appreciate this!
The way to remove food coloring from your hands is to make a paste of baking soda and a bit of water and rub your hands gently together and then wash with soap and water. Really works! Thank you for this excellent video with great tips. 😀
Fantastic; I’m glad you found it helpful! I have an entire playlist about working with fondant. Please let me know what other questions you have. Thanks for watching!
I am from sri lanka. And i am so happy to watch this video again and again. There ara so much tips when making fondant. Thank you so much. In sinhala බුදු සරණයි.
Amazing!!! This push me to start my own YT channel and teach the Beginners too on how to make a cake toppers put of fondant without using any expensive tools.
This will be soooooo helpful I just found your channel I’m making my sister a unicorn cake with fondant I only used fondant once and I learned my lesson I stopped with fondant because how bad my hands and the fondant was thank you this will be soo helpful
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!
I find Americolor brand color less hand-staining than Wilton (aside from red!). Also placing a small bowl upside down over fondant while working on smaller pieces of it stops air from flowing over it, stops it from beginning to crust.
Thanks for mentioning Americolor! I used that brand very early on and was impressed by the effectiveness of their reds. Great tip about the bowl as well! 💕
@@AsiaCoffee you're welcome..i will always remember those things to avoid..i am a beginner here when making and decorating using fondant so this is a big help for me that's why i was so thankful for your video..it will really help me a lot knowing your tips..thank you😘
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 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.
I don't recommend using 10X sugar to roll your fondant. It removes the moisture from your fondant, causing tears and/or elephant skin. The same for cornstarch, although I find it more forgiving than 10X. Use sparingly! A silicone mat is the best bet, with nothing on it...except fondant of course!
Great video! Question: If you are using the fondant the next day to decorate would you store it in the fridge over night or leave it out to be room temperature?
@Kittyesha9 You can leave fondant at room temperature after it’s wrapped if your climate is NOT hot and humid. Otherwise, you can store it in a cooler. Thanks for watching!
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.
Where i can put the excess fondant after i close it in a cling wrap? In the fridge or in a room temperature? Thank u so much.. It's a big help for me.. 😘
I’ve used Gum-Tex in the past, also known as tylose powder. I’ve only used it when I needed the fondant to dry faster and behave more like gumpaste. Great question…. Thanks for watching!
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?
No. When rolling out fondant, you’ll want to dust your surface with corn starch. Powdered sugar can also be used in a pinch. Tylose and CMC are kneaded into fondant to stiffen it for fondant decorations. I would not add it to fondant that’s covering a cake!
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!
As an artist who works with all mediums imaginable, I thought I knew what to do with fondant. But everything you said was definitely something I did NOT know. Great advice!!
Glad it was insightful! Thanks for watching!
Your voice is very soothing and relaxing. And I love the way you explain everything. I'm glad I've found your videos
Thank you so much!😃
I agree🥰
“Unless you want to look like you’ve committed a terrible crime, wear gloves.” 🤣🤣🤣 Very unexpectedly funny. Great tips and video. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! 😉
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 💕

Fondant make a cake look so pretty when applied right. Very professional video.

Thanks for sharing your recommendation! It’s good to have options in case others don’t have access to cornstarch, powdered sugar or a silicone mat.

What are those gloves called?
Hi there! The gloves I’m using are Nitrile gloves. I choose these over latex gloves because some people may be allergic to latex. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! This was so helpful. I've always been so intimidated by fondant, but I think I'm going to give it a try.
Fantastic; thanks for watching!
Great video! Question: If you are using the fondant the next day to decorate would you store it in the fridge over night or leave it out to be room temperature?
Leave the fondant at room temperature but be sure that it’s wrapped up tight. Thanks for watching!
@@AsiaCoffee Great! thanks so much for the fast reply!
Do I refrigerate it after I wrap it ? I won’t use it until a few weeks from now
@Kittyesha9 You can leave fondant at room temperature after it’s wrapped if your climate is NOT hot and humid. Otherwise, you can store it in a cooler. Thanks for watching!
I have watched this video just in time !
Thanks for watching!
Thank you !
Thank you so much 😇

Where i can put the excess fondant after i close it in a cling wrap? In the fridge or in a room temperature? Thank u so much.. It's a big help for me.. 😘
Room temp if you don’t live in an excessively humid climate! Thanks for watching 💕
Nice video I hope to learn more from you
More to come!...Thanks for watching! 😉
Do i need to store the fondant in refrigerator or freezer? 😊
Hello lovely tips.
I use condensed milk frosting in my cakes. Will the fondant adhere to that? Thank you in advance
very epic thank you
Thanks for watching!
I loved this guide. Just curious, do you ever use gum Tex and if so….when?
I’ve used Gum-Tex in the past, also known as tylose powder. I’ve only used it when I needed the fondant to dry faster and behave more like gumpaste. Great question…. Thanks for watching!
@@AsiaCoffee thank you. I’m making a graduation cake and I wasn’t sure if I needed to use it for the cap.
I’ve never worked with fondant before.
@@gzion7 Yes, I would definitely use it for the cap. Best of luck on your cake!
@@AsiaCoffee thank you. Your tutorial video was so helpful. I’ve watched it several times to make sure I don’t mess it up haha
Thanks for the tips
Is it best to store it in the freezer or fridge or room temp?
@@Ferchi. Room temp unless you live in a hot/humid climate. In that case you’ll want to store it in a cool refrigerator! Thanks for watching 💕
@@AsiaCoffee thank you so much ☺️💖
Thanks for the tips, working with fondant can be tricky
This video is amazing! Thank you for posting.
Thank you for watching!
Love your video!!
Glad you liked it!!
Is there any alternative to shortening
Yes! You can use a little bit of coconut oil. A little goes a long way!
Super informative! Thank you for this video! New subscriber 😊
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching and subbing! 💕
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! 💕
Thank you so much!! 💗
Can I use the Tylose powder underneath when I’m going to roll it out? Or does it need to be one of these?
No. When rolling out fondant, you’ll want to dust your surface with corn starch. Powdered sugar can also be used in a pinch. Tylose and CMC are kneaded into fondant to stiffen it for fondant decorations. I would not add it to fondant that’s covering a cake!

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! 💕
