Is this a recipe to make fondant to cover the cake?

Question

*1/3 cup softened butter or margarine

*1/3 cup light corn syrup

*1 teaspoon vanilla

*1/2 teaspoon salt

*3 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar ( 1lb)

do I need to make any changes if not what is another recipe for fondant?

Answer 1

google fondant recipe and boatloads will pop up.  Check epicurious.com or allrecipes.com.  I am not sure what you have there.  I didn't think butter went into fondant but maybe........

Answer 2

Your recipe is for the fondant or cream used in cream filled chocolate candies.  There's no butter in fondant covering.  Sorry, I don't like the taste of fondant on cakes so I don't have a recipe.

Answer 3

That's not fondant to cover the cake.  It wouldn't be pliable enough, I don't think.  That looks like a recipe for candy centers.

I make marshmallow fondant.  Here's the recipe that I use: http://whatscookingamerica.net/PegW/Fond...

It's easy and quick and very reliable.  It has turned out well every time I've used it.
