I love DIY stuffs even find solution to DIY fondant myself, LET'S bake and create a customise 100% HANDMADE Birthday Cake with patience and love for our SPECIAL ones with total sincerity!!! 

My home made fondant. Actually not difficult to make these!! No lose to try it yourself, right?

Let's prepare the ingredients...

These the MUST BUY items + food colourings for making fondant. All ingredients u may purchase it @ Phoon Huat in sg.

900g of icing sugar.

I normally spoon out 100g on aside to make 900g.

3 tablespoons melted shorterning.

Chop a portion of shorterning, melt it under a heat.

5 teaspoons of gelatine powder

1 tablespoon of glycerine.

I highly recommend to buy Wilton brand by making a good quality fondant.

1/2 cup of glucose

60ml COLD water from fridge. 

I use a clean medicine bottle for easy measurement . 

...............................................................

Are u ready? Let's make fondant now!!!

Pour the cold water onto gelatine powder.

Stir it .

Stir and wait for around 10-20sec, it will freeze and thicken itself.

Prepare a pan of hot water, double boiled  the mixture with boiling water under heat .

Stir till it melted.

Add in glucose .

Stir till the glucose completely melted.

Add in shorterning, continuously stir it till well mixed.

REMOVE from heat , place on the big bowl of water. Add in glycerine, and stir it.

Add in 3-4 teaspoon of flavoring u like. 

Normally I use vanilla essence / peppermint Flavours and it taste good!!! 

Let it cool down to LUKEWARM temperature.

Prepare a big big bowl, add in 1/2 of the icing sugar. DIG a hole in the middle, pour in the lukewarm mixture.

Use a wooden spoon, combine the icing sugar with mixture and fold it. 

Add in 1/4 icing sugar gradually bit by bit when it turn thicken and sticky. 

Almost done ... But still a bit sticky .

Now use your bare free clean hand to knead . Add in the last 1/4 of icing sugar bit by bit, whenever u feel stickiness on your hand. 

Stop adding icing sugar when u feel the fondant non-tacky on ur hand !!! U may have leftover icing sugar, keep aside for later coloring use. 

Choose your preference Colours for dying your fondant. I only use Wilton brand gel food colourings. It cost around @$3.50 per bottle, it's a great use in macarons and buttercream too!!!

Add in colourings knead it by hand, add in more colouring and sprinkle more icing sugar to the colours to want.

Ok DONE!!! Nice yellow right???

Assorted Colours

Always keep your fondant in a airtight container or it may dry up fast, it may storage up to1 month but pls remember to place it @ room temperature. 

Useful tools for making creative fondant design.
