And is it per per batch? Because I'll probably be making a double batch so that I can make the bows from your tutorial, but in black and I don't want it to dry out, especially it being my first time working with fondant...by the way got any tips for a first timer using fondant and attempting at making the bows in your tutorial? Please let me know!<br />Thanks! :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02940273439809822570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260582170361048199.post-58979428918205257492012-10-13T17:48:04.740-05:002012-10-13T17:48:04.740-05:00hi i want to ask if what ingredient can i replace ...hi i want to ask if what ingredient can i replace for the vegetable shortening because i can't find any of veg shortening in our place and because i dont what does it called in italian..maybe you can help me...thanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053862131546873127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260582170361048199.post-79853460486059757102012-09-01T08:42:56.364-05:002012-09-01T08:42:56.364-05:00I'm not sure if the fondant will be able to la...I'm not sure if the fondant will be able to last that long. I think that if you add less than a 1/4 cup of vegetable shortening in the mixture it could make it last longer! You can use large marshmallows, it just might take longer to melt :) Good luck!Brooke Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077202654860399830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260582170361048199.post-68537167811850578782012-09-01T08:37:04.180-05:002012-09-01T08:37:04.180-05:00When I color it, it does seem to dry up a little b...When I color it, it does seem to dry up a little bit but I always add some piping gel to it to make it a little bit more soft!<br /><br />I am also going to add vegetable shortening to the recipe so that it will be more moist :)Brooke Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077202654860399830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260582170361048199.post-65505456906337679682012-08-30T12:00:52.032-05:002012-08-30T12:00:52.032-05:00I have a birthday cake to make, (a doll cake), by ...I have a birthday cake to make, (a doll cake), by 9/7.
