Besides rolling it to drape over the tiers, you can mix a small amount of water into the finished fondant to make it pipe-able for decorating.
For a hard set icing warm the thinned fondant until it melts and becomes runny. When it's cooled enough to handle, put it into a piping bag and the piped fondant will become hard when it cools (great for gingerbread houses%26lt;g%26gt;).
One other neat thing about that fondant recipe is that if you break the fondant you don't toss it out! Mix enough water into the ruined fondant to make a thick syrup. Bring it back up to 238F. and proceed like it's a fresh batch (or mix it into a fresh batch%26lt;g%26gt;).Does anyone have an outstanding vegan decorating icing recipe for a wedding cake?
Not cream cheese frosting
Frosting
5 tablespoons margarine, softened 8 ounces vegan cream cheese, softened 1/8 teaspoon butter extract (optional) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups powdered sugar
In a mixing bowl, beat together margarine and vegan cream cheese. Beat in butter extract and vanilla. Stir in sugar. Beat until fluffy. Spread over cake.
Note: I use a brand of vegan cream cheese spread called ';Better Than Cream Cheese'; by Tofutti. It's good stuff!
Basic confectioner's icing
Icing: soften margarine. Stir the sugar into margarine a little bit of time alternating with soy milk. Stir the margarine, soy milk, sugar mixture until creamy and smooth.Does anyone have an outstanding vegan decorating icing recipe for a wedding cake?
Most icing is just confectioner's sugar and milk so find yourself a recipie online w/o eggs and replace all the milk w/ soymilk and chese w/ soycheese simple
Doesnt really taste like royal icing, but its a royal icing substitute.
o 1 cup raw cane sugar
o 1 and bit t cornstarch
o Rice milk, lemon juice, or your choice of liquid
Take about a cup of raw cane sugar and pop it into the blender with a little cornstarch (a little more than a teaspoon) to make it into powdered sugar -- blend until it's as fine as you want it -- then use a little rice milk or lemon juice (or whatever liquid you like) to make whatever consistancy you need.
Sometimes I add vanila or lemon zest or ginger or cardamom depending on what's getting iced.
i have no clue that is hard because of the eggs good luck with your icing hunt!
