buttercream fondant

we halved this recipe since we only needed it for cut-outs. it still made quite a bit!

1 c. light corn syrup
1 c. shortening
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract (use clear for a bright white color)
2 pounds confectioners' sugar (1 regular sized bag)

• combine all ingredients using the dough hook on your mixer. you may need to finish up the mixing by hand.


• to make colors, seperate out however much you want and knead in food coloring paste (available at craft stores + wal-mart)


• roll out with powdered sugar sprinkled on your surface and on the rolling pin - this keeps it from sticking!
