This is truly an excellent "quick" fondant and super easy especially because there is no glucose or corn syrup involved!

I have never made fondant... I followed this recipe.. used milk and shortening.. but I used powdered milk.. I tried it with regular milk and with the powdered milk (mixed it with water etc).. and the flavor is sooo different.. it tastes so much better with powdered milk than regular milk...

I made it once and it turned out to be frosting for some reason. I did everything right, but I didn't turn out. I guess I'll make it again and see how it turns out.

I just made this myself. I used butter flavored Crisco (won't next time) and milk (instead of water and butter). I just had to continue stirring and it firmed up a bit. I believe for the first writer, their mistake was adding more liquid. I had to add a dash more sugar after adding some vanilla extract to a small portion I set aside...firmed right now. Now to go make a cake or cupcakes and see how it works out.

I'm the worst baker ever and I did it in like 3 minutes! Tastes fairly good and looks amazing on cakes! At first it looks like it won't turn out but keep stirring and it turns our superior. I used milk and shortening I'm not sure what it will look like with water or butter but milk and shortening is great! Nice and easy, most recipes were like sweet milk or glucose but this was a simple 3 recipe thing.. Definitely making again!

I made Wendy's Fondant tonight to use for an adult birthday cake. I doubled the recipe (I used shortening- FYI) and mixed in my K Aide mixer.It came out great. (I used half & half instead of milk as that was what I had on hand. Since I needed a dark color - I used a few drops of Gravy Master- With all that sugar-no one will detect the taste.) I rolled it between 2 sheets of waxed paper then peeled off one layer and placed the remainder over the rolling pin. Then I peeled off the other layer. Then carefully, I placed it on my cake etc. It helps if you roll it out about 1/4 inch thick. Also I rolled it out in sections rather than all at once. Really glad that I found your recipe: great time saver, money saver And tastes great. Thanks! Eyelean

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.

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 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!

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 ;)
