So glad to hear that you liked the recipe. Homemade fondant is so much better than store bought. w-

I didn’t use all of the sugar but just added it gradually like you recommended in the video! Thank you!

I am making a mermaid cake that is covered in fondant circle cutouts. I know they will take a longtime to cutout. How far in advance can I make this fondant, and cutouts and best was to keep them before putting them on the cake without them cracking or looking messing up? This will be my first fondant cake and I have been reading trying to find the best way to do this.

Hi Darlene,

That’s because 4 cups of sugar is equal to 2 pounds not 1 pound. I use 4 cups for a 16 ounce bag of marshmallows.

Hi Eva, It really depends on what you are doing and the conditions in your house. A warm, dry house will harden faster than a cool, moist/humid house. If it’s just covering a cake in a thin layer it will harden faster than making a thick teddy bear statue. Also, it’s not going to harden as hard as something like gumpaste. I’ve had fondant take 2 weeks to harden when making a character. Hope this helps a little. w-

Hi! I’ve never frozen MMF and I’m not sure it would work. Your best bet would be to make and freeze the cupcakes individually (up to a month), make the buttercream frosting and store in the fridge (a week early), make the fondant a few days early and store (tripled bagged with air removed), then assemble the thawed cupcakes the night before you need them (or the day of). w-

Hi Lara, I haven’t tried that and I’m not sure that it would work. There are vegan marshmallows you could try as well, but again I haven’t tried it. Let me know if you do try one of those and if they work. w-
