Cooking Instructions

1hr 30 minutes
  1. 1

    Put cold water in a sufuria

  2. 2

    Add gelatin

  3. 3

    Stir well

  4. 4

    Let it settle for 20mins as it thickens

  5. 5

    Then put it on heat but inside another pan with water till it melts (don't heat directly)

  6. 6

    Then the glycerine and pepper mint /vanilla extract while still on heat(optional)

  8. 8

    Sieve the icing sugar in a bowl

    Knead well to acquire a perfect finish

  12. 12

    Knead thoroughly to the right consistency.Once it becomes less sticky to the hands it's ready

  13. 13

    You can also check if it's ready when you fold it and stretch a little bit...it should not break

  14. 14

    Oil it then wrap in a cling film. Oiling prevents hardening (I prefer solid cooking fat)

  15. 15

    Take a piece then roll to a big shape, use corn flour to roll it

  16. 16

    Right enough to cover your cake,before covering it with the fondant use a little bit of royal icing to cover the crumbs it also enhances the cakes firmness

    Then cover your cake basing on its shape,then trim the unwanted pieces

    Shape perfectly as you smoothen it
