Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the shortening and corn syrup. Mix in the salt and vanilla flavoring, then gradually mix in the confectioners' sugar until it is a stiff dough. If you are using a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment. Otherwise, knead by hand. If the dough is sticky, knead in more confectioners' sugar until it is smooth. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
- To use, roll out on a clean surface that has been dusted with confectioners' sugar until it is 1/8 inch thick or thinner if you can. Drape over frosted and chilled cakes and smooth the sides down, or cut into strips to make bows and other decorations.

Tips:
- Use unsalted butter at room temperature for a smooth, creamy fondant.
- If the fondant is too sticky, add more powdered sugar. If it's too dry, add a little bit of water or cream.
- Knead the fondant until it is smooth and elastic, but be careful not to over-knead it, or it will become tough.
- Roll out the fondant on a lightly greased surface or between two pieces of parchment paper to prevent it from sticking.
- If you are using the fondant to cover a cake, make sure the cake is completely cool before applying the fondant.
- To smooth out the fondant, use a fondant smoother or a rolling pin.
- If you are using the fondant to make decorations, use a sharp knife or scissors to cut out the desired shapes.
- Fondant can be colored with food coloring or edible paint.
- Store fondant in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
