1 Tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of unflavored gelatin
1/4 Cup of water
1/2 cup glucose or corn syrup
2 tablespoons of vegetable shortening
1 tablespoon of glycerine
8 cups (2 pounds) of powdered sugar sifted
add gelatin in to cold water let it sit for 2 minutes
place in a double boiler to melt the gelatin and once melted add glucose and shortening melt these together take off of the heat and add glycerine. Next you will place 1 pound of powdered sugar in a large bowl make a well and pour mix in and mix until it creates a large lump it will be a mess don't worry keep mixing, when most of your powdered sugar is mixed in place the remaining powdered sugar on your counter and knead it in the fondant if it is too stiff at any point you can add a couple of drops of water but use sparingly.
36 ounces of fondant which is enough to cover a 10 inch round cake
Fondant should be 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch thick on your cakes
