How Do You Make Fondant More Elastic?
When you work with fondant for wedding or birthday cakes, you might want to use it to make ruffles or roses or curtains. Then you need a stiff fondant that is elastic as well. Follow the next tip to achieve the desired consistency. Wash and sanitize your hands and table top. There is some people that suggest using elastic gloves. Sprinkle plenty of sieved powdered sugar on the area where you are going to work. Take the piece of fondant you’ll work with and knead it slightly just to make it pliable. Press the piece of fondant in the center and drop a bit of glucose. Close the fondant as if you were making a turnover to avoid the glucose from spilling. I prefer working the fondant into a rope to avoid getting my hands sticky. Add powdered sugar to the table top as needed.
