How to Use Vegetable Shortening with Fondant:

1. Kneading and Conditioning:
• Before rolling out your fondant, knead it well to make it pliable. If the fondant feels dry or cracks appear, add a small amount of vegetable shortening.
• Apply a pea-sized amount of shortening to your hands and knead it into the fondant until it becomes smooth and elastic.
2. Rolling Out Fondant:
• Lightly coat your work surface and rolling pin with a thin layer of vegetable shortening to prevent sticking.
• Roll out the fondant to the desired thickness, turning and moving it occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick.
3. Covering a Cake:
• Once the fondant is rolled out, apply a thin layer of vegetable shortening to the cake’s surface to help the fondant adhere.
• Carefully lift the fondant and drape it over the cake, smoothing it gently with your hands or a fondant smoother.
• Use shortening to help smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles, applying a small amount as needed.
4. Fixing Cracks and Tears:
• If cracks or tears appear while covering the cake or creating decorations, use a small amount of vegetable shortening to smooth them out.
• Gently rub the shortening into the crack or tear with your fingers until it blends seamlessly.
5. Creating Decorations:
• When making fondant decorations, such as flowers or figurines, keep a small amount of vegetable shortening handy.
• Use it to condition the fondant, making it easier to shape and mold intricate details.
• Apply a thin layer to your tools to prevent sticking and ensure clean cuts and shapes.
6. Storing Fondant:
• If you need to store fondant for later use, coat it lightly with vegetable shortening to prevent it from drying out.
• Wrap the fondant tightly in plastic wrap and place it in an airtight container to maintain its softness and pliability.

Application Tips:

• Use Sparingly: A little vegetable shortening goes a long way. Use small amounts to avoid making the fondant too greasy.
• Blending Colors: When coloring fondant, add vegetable shortening along with food coloring to help the color blend more evenly and keep the fondant soft.
• Cleaning Up: Vegetable shortening can leave a residue on your tools and work surfaces. Clean them with warm, soapy water to remove any leftover grease.

Ideal For:

• Fondant Covering: Achieve a smooth, flawless finish on cakes with ease.
• Modeling and Shaping: Create detailed decorations and figures without cracking or drying.
• General Fondant Work: Enhance the overall workability and performance of fondant for all your cake decorating projects.
