Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A
Hardness of fondant
My niece has asked me to make her some baby shower biscuits which I shall cover in textured fondant. I’d like to try making marshmallow recipe but wonder how firm this sets as I shall be bagging them up together. Any advice would be appreciated.
ThankQ.

Hi AnnieLaurie
It will probably be softer than bought sugarpaste, it depends on what other ingredients you are going to be putting into it. To firm it up, knead in a little tylose or gum tragacanth and let it rest 24hrs to activate the gum before using.
