Time 25m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
½ cup water
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • 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. Stir in the almond extract.
  • To cover cake: frost cake smoothly with buttercream (see Editor's Note) 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.
  • Excess fondant can be stored, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for about four weeks. Reheat over a double boiler just until pourable.

Time 35m

Yield 2 1/2 cups, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted (about 1 1/2 lbs.)
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 teaspoon clear almond extract (may substitute any clear flavor, lemon is also delicious)
food coloring, if desired

Steps:

  • Cover cupcakes lightly with buttercream icing. Let set 15 minutes.
  • Place sugar in saucepan. Combine water and corn syrup; add to sugar and stir until well-mixed. Cook over low heat. Don't allow temperature of mixture to exceed 100°F Remove from heat; stir in extract and icing color.
  • Place cooled cupcakes or mini cakes on cooling grid positioned over cookie sheet or pan to catch excess icing. Cupcakes which will be covered completely should be turned bottom side up. Pour icing on center of cupcake using pan or measuring cup. Or, pipe icing from a cut decorating bag. Cover the cupcake completely, or use your coating as a glaze to simply cover tops and drip over the sides. Touch up any bare spots with spatula. Let set.
  • Excess icing may be reheated just to pouring consistency. Don't overheat the icing as it will lose its shiny finish.

Tips:

  • Use the right chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste and texture of your fondant icing. For the best results, use a high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate.
  • Temper your chocolate: Tempering your chocolate will help to stabilize it and prevent it from seizing. This is a simple process that involves heating and cooling the chocolate in a controlled manner.
  • Use the right amount of corn syrup: Corn syrup helps to give fondant icing its smooth, glossy texture. However, it is important to use the right amount, as too much corn syrup can make the icing too soft and sticky.
  • Don't overbeat the icing: Overbeating the icing can cause it to become grainy and stiff. Beat the icing just until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Let the icing cool before using: Fondant icing needs to cool completely before it can be used. This will help to prevent it from being too soft and runny.

Conclusion:

Fondant icing is a delicious and versatile icing that can be used to decorate cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With a little practice, you can create beautiful and impressive fondant icing decorations that will make your desserts look like they came from a professional bakery.
