I find it hard to not use a bit of sugar syrup when I use the poured fondant because it tend to thicken over time so you need to stir in the sugar syrup to make it more thin. You can man your own sugar syrup: http://coffeetea.about.com/library/recipes/blrec_sugarsyrup.htm deemah: I dont have a post on rolled fondant , but I hope to add one. Until that Google: rolled fondant recipe mommai: Do you mean the sugar syrup to thin down the poured fondant??

Thank you so very much. I saw where someone used ready-made icing, added more 10X sugar, and melted it on top of the stove prior to pouring. They were very pleased. I am a purist, so I have not tried ready-made icing. Maybe some of the people out there know about this method. Also, I can not get your subscription service to accept my email address... keeps saying it is invalid. What can I do?

I once tried it with vanilla cupcakes. Have you tried to add maybe just a tbsp of extra flour to the mixture?? It sometimes helps the problem. But try visit the group I was talking about and Im sure that you find the answer. Cupcake Fan: I know that this problem has been discussed over and over again on flickr’s Cupcake take the cake group.

The recipe is exactly the same as the vanilla version except that you use less flour and add cocoa in its place. Its really becoming an irritation as I have to keep re-baking my chocolate cupcakes.
