Is this product comparable to Wilton glycerin? I make my own fondant to cover cakes and was looking for something more cost effective.

I am not sure that it is superior to Wilton, but I am sure its of great quality and has worked very well for us. I find Wilton products overpriced.

This fondant never firms up so you'll find your sculptures won't hold there shape. Although its my least favorite for covering cakes, I find Wilton's works better for sculptures since it dries better

Just speaking from my personal experience, I live in a humid climate (Florida). I can make mine and leave it out for up to 3 weeks and sometimes when I go back to check on them, they are still a bit soft. Even gum paste. Florida climate is really super hard to live in and make good gum paste or fondant decorations. It's also hard to ice a cake here too. ugh :( The frosting melts!

I use a thing called BAK-Klene ZT and I get it at GFS and am sure you can find it elsewhere. I use it with all my cake pans. It is awesome because none of my 3d cakes or the ones i do in this pan stick and it does not leave any residue like regular cooking spray. This is an amazon link for what i use unfortunately this is a 6 pack case Bak Klene ZT All Purpose Release Aerosol Spray, 14 Ounce -- 6 per case.

Great question.. So far, I haven't had any issues with this product! It bakes clear, so you can't even tell where you "glued" it to the original item. If you were to use chalk pastels with it.. it makes great "glazes and sauces" .

I have purchased these pens as well as the multi-colored pack and they work fabulously well -and I have tried many other brands before I purchased these so I have a point of comparison.They do not run on gumpaste. I have never tried them directly on the cake. I will be making a cake today and I can run a small test on a piece of fondant if you want to wait to hear back. My guess is that if the fridge is dry enough it won't. I do keep a hygrometer (9.99 at Target or 12.99 here http://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Healthcheck-Digital-Hygrometer-V70/dp/B004GSWZZU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1430928338&sr;) in my cake fridge to keep an eye on the relative humidity.

I personally prefer the Wilton fondant for modeling- it's not so sticky and dries harder. It also doesn't get the wrinkly 'skin' on it. Definitely dust the mold with cornstarch so it doesn't stick and mix in a little tylose powder if you want it to set even harder. Good luck!

i have only used it with fondant . I would try it with sugar veil and see what happens. just be sure to dust it with corn flour first.

I have never tried fondarific YET, BUT I am planning to do a cake with it soon. I will update my post when I do!

I believe the pro mat may have the markings on it for measurement. That may be more helpful if you are doing a lot of cakes, and bigger cakes. I'm an amateur at this, and really have had a hard time using this mat. I have never done big enough fondant to make it heavy enough to actually use gravity to have it come off.

That's a good question! I usually follow the recipes on the website first and the cake did seem a bit heavy for me so if xanthan gum would help make it fluff a little more, that may be a good suggestion! If you try and it helps, please let us know!

Hi, I am not an expert on glycerin but know it doesn't crystalize like sugar does. You could experiment with it but to know definitely, I would call the company. The number is:1-866-840-2495. Ask for customer service. B.

I imagine this would qualify as a "high ratio" shortening. It is the only shortening I use and it makes a beautiful buttercream frosting. Right out of the tub, it is a "stiffer" consistency than Crisco or room temperature butter. It works great in cake and cookie recipes. I have a child with multiple food allergies and this shortening has worked wonderfully with alternative flours as well.

Hi I wanted a metallic gold to paint onto the 'leaves' of a book cake to give the impression of goldleaf edging. It does need a few layers on fondant but it is shiny gold. I didn't use it in a spray so don't know how that looks ...I used a paintbrush.

If you mean the additive in soap or candles then no it's not. If you meant "topical glycerin" no,it's not the same. Hope you find what you are looking for:)

I use this all the time on brown royal icing and fondant, and it gives a true metallic gold effect. But not sure about the chocolate candies since they will have a waxy surface. You might still want to give this a try though, Ive tried various food coloring but Americolor has given the best results.

I usually use a little tylose in my fondant and when I roll it out I use cornstarch and I don't roll it too thin 1/8" is as thin as I go.....hope this helprd
