Quick Pour Fondant Icing Recipe

Posted on 26. May, 2009 by admin in Frostings and Fillings

“This is a great Fondant recipe that can be tinted with paste food color if desired. Pour over the top of cakes or petit fours to make a perfectly smooth and glossy surface. Excess fondant can be stored, tightly covered, in refrigerator for weeks. Reheat to use again. Recipe may be doubled or tripled.”

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

* 6 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
* 1/2 cup water
* 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
* 1 teaspoon almond extract

DIRECTIONS

1. In a saucepan, combine confectioners’ sugar, water and corn syrup. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a temperature of 92 degrees F (33 degrees C.) Mixture should be thin enough to pour, but thick enough to coat cake.
2. To cover cake: Frost cake smoothly with buttercream and place on a cooling rack with a cookie sheet underneath. Pour fondant over iced cake, flowing from center and moving out in a circular motion. Touch up sides with a spatula.
