If there is a hump on top of your sugar cookie, that lump will show up on the fondant-covered sugar cookie. You can use a paring knife or a microplaner to submit down the hump as well as make the top of your cookie smooth.

Exactly how to Turn out Your Fondant for Use on Cookies.

Prepare your fondant for use according to package guidelines. I suggest that you taste the fondant as well as include flavor, if required, before kneading the fondant and also removing the fondant. There are a number of concentrated flavors on the marketplace. A little goes a long means. For each extra pound of fondant, use just 1/2 teaspoon of concentrated flavor. Knead in the focused taste with a little (50/50 mix) confectioner’s sugar and also cornstarch to preserve the uniformity of the fondant.

Make use of a moving pin and also a non-stick mat to present your fondant. Use a handful of fondant to begin. Kind a sphere and afterwards squash the fondant into a disc form. Start rolling out the fondant by continuing the fondant with the rolling pin. Lift the fondant from the floor covering and also revolve the fondant direction after each roll to make certain that it is not sticking to the mat. Use your 50/50 mix if your fondant adheres to the floor covering. Roll your fondant out to 1/8-inch to remove with your cookie cutter as well as cover your sugar cookie.

Roll your fondant as very finely as you can to use plunger cutters for flowers or other decorations.

How to Apply Fondant to Cookies.

Make use of a food safe paint brush to paint piping gel in the innermost component of your cookie, preventing the sides. Piping gel is the “glue” to protect the fondant to the sugar cookie. It is very important to prevent the edges to offer you a professional looking cookie.

The very same cookie cutter that you made use of to remove the cookies is the same cookie cutter you use to remove your fondant. Please see to it to remove any type of sugar cookie dough residue from the cookie cutter and utilize a clean cloth to clean the cookie cutter between sugar cookie dough and also fondant use. This action is necessary.

The most important point you have to bear in mind when using fondant is that humidity turns fondant into a goopy mess. You can control this by having a 50/50 mixture of confectioner’s sugar as well as corn starch. When worked into soft fondant, this 50/50 combination permits you to turn out your fondant as well as utilize it even when the weather is damp.
