thank you so much for this recipe!!! My icing turned out great. I used the powdered agar agar, and mixed it in my stand mixer. Thanks again.

Thank you so much! I’ve searched high and low for a vegan fondant recipe and was thinking of buying pre-made, but wasn’t sure if it was going to be vegan until after I bought it. Now I can make a cake for my friend! Perfect!

That fondant recipe is great for modeling figures, but I had a really hard time getting it to roll out properly. Maybe you can fiddle around with the recipe and let me know if you figure out how to get it to roll without sticking to everything. Most of the time, I end up using the gross store bought (but vegan!) fondant because it’s so much easier to work with. I would love to be able to make it myself, though.

You’re a lifesaver! I’ve been vegan and making vegan cakes for 15 years but am just now getting into fondant. Not wanting to use the crappy, chemical-filled fondant from the store, I decided I needed to make my own. Now you’ve spelled it out for me. Thank you!

Thanks for the tip. I’ve tried adding more glycerin and it usually just turns into a big, gooey mess. Lately, I’ve been relying on the Wilton fondant, which tastes nasty, but is much easier to work with. One of these days, I hope to find the time to fiddle with my recipe a bit to make it better for covering cakes. I’ve also heard of people making a fondant-like covering out of chocolate or white chocolate. This sounds more like a modeling chocolate to me, but I bet it tastes better than the Wilton fondant. I just wish vegan white chocolate were more easy to find (as in I didn’t have to special order it!), so that I could give that a try without feeling guilty for wasting the money if it didn’t work.

I usually do use gum paste to make figures.

Thank you for your recipe Making a large 5 tiered vegan 21 bithday cake for daughter. To make the fondant more pliable add more glycerin to the recipe. Also for molding you need to add 1 tsp of gum tragacanth to the fondant. It will make your figures cleaner and better.
