Fondant problems!! Need help before mothers day!!?
I can%26#039;t really provide immediate help for your current trouble with the fondant flowers, because I think the problems you%26#039;re having are because of the marshmallow fondant.





I teach cake decorating classes, and when I share the marshmallow fondant recipe with my students, I advise them to use it only for covering cakes. It is too soft and does not hold up well, in my experiences, for modeling figures and flowers.





In the future, when you model flowers out of fondant, you can either knead in Gum Tex, a strengthener (add 1 teaspoon per 12 oz. of fondant, knead it together inside a plastic bag so none of the Gum Tex powder is %26quot;lost%26quot;) or mix equal parts of fondant and gum paste (also used to make flowers) together. The fortified fondant or fondant/gum paste blend is stronger than plain fondant and more resistant to tearing, and will also dry faster. I don%26#039;t know how well this method will work with the marshmallow fondant, but it works well with Wilton fondant.





Either way, I would recommend using prepared/purchased fondant (Wilton or another brand) for modeling figures and flowers; the marshmallow fondant is too soft and/or doesn%26#039;t come out exactly the same every time you make it.





Hope the cake was a hit!!! What a great treat for your mom!!

My quick answer--marshmallow fondant isn%26#039;t the answer, but I can help you be done by tomorrow.


You need some last-minute ingredients, but a trip to michaels will be the trick....
