This certainly was EASY to make, but I had problems with the fondant crumbling I tried adding more milk or shortening without success. Perhaps there is no shortcut to a fondant. It might be okay for flat panels, but I couldn't shape it.

Hi Michael,

If you don't have the time to make a classic fondant from scratch, try Domino's Amerifond.

Hi Michael, several of the recipes that I've reviewed suggested that the fondant sit in the fridge for a couple of days. Fortunately I don't try to form, I just need a candy middle that will dissolve with alcohol.

Michael, I was in Colorado a couple years ago and the altitude affected every recipe we used. I would recommend trying again but adjusting the liquid and maybe mix a little longer.

As Michael stated. I also had the same issue. However I was wondering if mixing the ingredients in a mixer makes the difference? I mixed by hand (spatula). I make cakes regularly, and have never tried fondant thought I would give it a try. Any tops?

I was wondering if it would work with food coloring, and if you cut flat shapes.

This is the best fondant recipe I have ever used. I added a couple of extra tablespoons of powdered sugar to make my fondant a bit firmer for sculpting and cake covering. It was perfect. It melts in your mouth like frosting, but it's easy to knead and sculpt like clay. I love that it doesn't include marshmallows or glycerine, and it is easy to flavor with vanilla or fruit extracts. It's SO great that I can color this with water based dies and it won't seize up or crumble. Thank you for this! I love it.

Wonderful for improvising last minute birthday cake! Didn't work until Tamara's comment about adding more powdered sugar until the firmness I wanted!

I love this recipe. Easy and quick! Just one addition, if you want to shape the fondant, you will need to add a few spoonfuls of icing sugar.

Simple and QUICK recipe. I didn't have any trouble coloring or forming this fondant, just added more powdered sugar to increase firmness.

This was awesome! So easy to make and to form! I have no clue what the first person was saying, I guess they don't know how to make anything right cause when I made it it turned out perfect! Now, the first person who commented, I would recommend getting baking classes.

This worked really good! :)

Works pretty well, easy, tastes really good!

Thank you. This is the easiest fondant recipe I've found. All the others have glycerin and glucose and all that stuff that i cant find in the grocery store. I tried the marshmallow recipe and it was so sticky, it did not work. THANKS!

This is a quick and easy, but makes very, very little fondant. Also, if you are looking for a rolled, hard fondant, this is not for you, it comes out softer, more of a frosting consistency than a rolled fondant! Otherwise, the taste is great, I added a little splash of vanilla with the milk and it gave it a nice flavor!

AMAZING!!!! I needed to finish a cake for Winter Fun Festival for my son's school!!! Fast and easy to make. And I really like the fact that it only makes a little...and so easy to make if you need more!!! Thank you!!!

Thanks! Tastes Great!

This was amazing!!

I liked this recipe very much :) They only problem I had with mine was that it didn't get that stiff. It still worked though and it tasted amazing for only 3 ingredients ;)

This recipe was the easiest I could find on such a short notice in order to decorate cupcakes like I hoped to by the end of the day. It worked out WONDERFULLY. My only comment would be if you don't completely COVER the rolling pin with extra 10x sugar or flour then it turns into a sticky mess. After a little more kneading though it came back and now looks great!

This fondant recipe is fantastic!! I used coconut oil instead of the shortening or butter and added pure vanilla to the milk. The taste and consistency is AMAZING!! Thanks!!

This was super easy to make and tasted good. It was really soft though. I added more powdered sugar to stiffen it enough to form. However, when I tried to roll it out to put on my cake, it kept sticking to the rolling pin regardless of how well I coated the pin and it fell apart before I even got it on the cake. I even let it sit in the fridge for a couple days before using it just to be sure that it set up properly. I think this is a recipe best used for candies and smaller decorations.

I love this recipe it Is so fast I had to make some to do a edible book report on I forgot all about it and then I remembered I could use fondant instead of frosting!!
