Fondant is sooo hard, my first attempt ended with it becoming so sticky that I couldnt get it off my hands! I had to go out and buy more powdered sugar after that try because I used everything I had to try to fix it. Sigh
I had to scrap the first batch because it just wouldn't work out. I gave it another go tonight and it was better but now every time I try to roll it out it tears. I spent a good chunk of my time tonight searching online for some guidance and then decided to ask the one who wrote the book! (My "Aha moment" for the day) I went to Rose's website and left a note and am now hoping that someone will write me back soon. I will be starting up the Chocolate Almond cake while I wait for my answer or some Divine clue that will solve my fondant woes. I am at least reassured that I know that most bakers just buy fondant in bulk when making wedding cakes so once I get this recipe down, I will just have to make the last Chocolate fondant in the book before I go to the premade kind.
Hopefully I dont have Fondant dreams/nightmares tonight...
