Rolled Fondant

This icing is rolled out and used as a covering for a firm cake such as pound or fruit cake, which is traditionally first covered with a layer of marzipan to seal in flavor and moistness of the cake. A light layer of buttercream or apricot glaze may also be used. Cakes covered with rolled fondant can be decorated with Royal or Buttercream Icing. Wilton also has convenient, Ready-to-Use Rolled Fondant for easy-to-handle fondant with no mixing.

How to Color and Flavor:
The pure white color of Wilton Ready-To-Use Rolled Fondant Icing can be easily tinted any color using Wilton Icing Colors. Add icing color, a drop at a time and knead into icing until color is evenly blended.

Wilton Ready-To-Use Rolled Fondant Icing has a mellow flavor which can be enhanced using Wilton Butter Flavor, Clear Vanilla Extract, or Almond Extract. Knead flavor/extract into icing until well blended.

How to Prepare the Cake
Level cake, position on board cut to fit and fill layers as desired.

For a perfectly smooth fondant cake, the cake surface you cover must be perfectly smooth. Any imperfections on the cake surface will mirror itself on the rolled fondant. Ice cake smooth with a thin layer of buttercream icing, covering all holes and imperfections. Use the Buttercream Icing Recipe, Wilton Ready-To-Use Decorators Icing or Creamy White Icing Mix. Let Buttercream Icing set before covering with Rolled Fondant. One-layer cakes with a very even surface can be coated instead with apricot glaze.

To determine the diameter you need to roll fondant for covering the cake: measure opposite sides and top of cake across center; roll out fondant to that size, 1/4 inch thick. For example, an 8 inch, two-layer cake, with two sides each 4 inches, equals 16 inches diameter. For simple, accurate measuring, roll out the fondant on top of the Cake Dividing Wheel included in the Wilton Cake Dividing Set.

How to Store Fondant-Covered Cake
Iced cake can be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days. Excess fondant can be stored 2 months in an airtight container. Do not refrigerate or freeze.

More Helpful Hints for Fondant
In general, the less height on your cake, the easier it will be to cover with rolled fondant. Individual sized desserts, such as petit fours are the easiest of all to cover.
When rolling fondant, it is extremely important to remember to lift and reposition it several times. You must keep fondant from sticking to your rolling surface or it will tear when you try to lift it up. Dusting the surface with confectioners sugar helps prevent sticking.
Rolled Fondant dries quickly. Always keep it covered to prevent hardening when in use.

Bows/Loops

Recipes:

Rolled Fondant
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup Glucose
2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening
1 tablespoon Glycerin
8 cups sifted confectioner’s sugar (about 2 lbs.)
Icing color and flavoring, as desired
Combine gelatin and cold water; let stand until thick. Place gelatin mixture in top of double boiler and heat until dissolved. Add glucose, mix well. Stir in shortening and just before completely melted, remove from heat. Add glycerin, flavoring and color. Cool until lukewarm. Next, place 4 cups confectioner’s sugar in a bowl and make a well. Pour the lukewarm gelatin mixture into the well and stir with a wooden spoon, mixing in sugar and adding more, a little at a time, until stickiness disappears. Knead in remaining sugar. Knead until the fondant is smooth, pliable and does not stick to your hands. If fondant is too soft, add more sugar; if too stiff, add water (a drop at a time). Use fondant immediately or store in airtight container in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate or freeze. When ready to use, knead again until soft.

This recipe makes approx. 36 oz., enough to cover a 10 x 4 in. High cake.

Michelle answers:

Sometimes in the summer I make fried cakes so I don’t heat up the house. I usually make them small like pancakes, they’re easy to serve and don’t have crumbs. If you do the whole cake make sure to reduce the heat and use a lid to help cook through and through. Mix the cake.Place a little oil or Pam in the skillet. Pour the cake in and shake it to level it and remove air bubbles. Every now and then use a wide spatula and ck the bottom to make sure you are not cooking it too fast and burning it. It also keeps the bottom from sticking so go all around the skillet. Cover and continue on low so the cake will cook in the center and not brown too fast on the bottom. Turn it over(!?) by using a flat plate on top of the skillet and flipping both over. Spray the Pam again and let the cake slide into the skillet from the plate. Cove r and ck until done. You can use reg frosting or I like to use apple or cherry canned pie filling on top with a little whipping cream on top!Yum! Now I’m hungry.

In Matthew 23, Jesus condemns groups of people, but doesn’t direct his condemnation to one individual alone. In Luke 13:32, Jesus calls Herod Antipas a fox, and from his tone, it comes across as pajorative.

Michelle answers:

No Congress didn’t vote on this in fact no one voted for it.

On March 23, 2005, heads of government Vincente Fox, George W. Bush, and Paul Martin launched the North American partnership at a meeting in Waco, Texas, with the expressed goal of “a safer, more prosperous North America.”

Proponents of the partnership claim its purpose is to increase security and prosperity for all three nations through enhanced cooperation. Critics maintain the partnership will sacrifice U.S. Sovereignty by establishing a “North American Union,” with open borders and a common currency.

Lets just hope this does NOT establish the NAU !

Michelle answers:

Let’s look back 150 years ago.

Blacks were not allowed to own property essentially unless they had a writ (from a white Judge) stating they were freemen and citizens.

120 years ago property owners largely were the only ones allowed to vote.
100 years ago Women were still not allowed to vote.
70 years ago Blacks were not allowed to use the same facilities , as whites, and society was accordingly segregated.
40 years ago Blacks could still not obtain mortgages and loans in the same way as non-blacks in the same community (Redlining STILL persists in many areas of the country).
20 years ago the first generation of Black millionaires started to retire.

100 years ago being gay as the love that dare not speak it’s name.
75 years ago being openly gay would get you beaten just as soon as if you were black, this is STILL true in some more rural areas of the country.
50 years ago it was possible in some urban areas to live as openly gay people, arts and culture flourished.
30 years ago the first HIV cases were found in promiscuous gay men.
20 years ago the gay community still being decimated sought partner rights / visitation became a need for some partnered relations.
10 years ago the GOP made gay marriage a plank of opposition in preserving family values.

In working with gays in my workplace for many years, while I cannot speak from personal experience, I’d say most of society is slowly coming to terms with the notion of partner rights as a normal package of rights. But gay marriage as such is not an institution that I’ve seen alot of gay co-workers really clamor for, in fact most folks I spoke to were rather indifferent on the subject.

Not in the same way as partnership / visitation rights etc.

Eventually, I suspect some sort of civil union type of thing will be inevitable in all 50 states, but I give it ANOTHER 50 years before it is just regarded with indifference by most people.

But it’s important to understand that this is issue was not an issue until the GOP got some juice into it, like most things GOP, if you aren’t reacting to something – well you’re just not afraid enough or paying attention.

So like the incendiary “Downtown Mosque / Cultural Center” , or the insensitive “OJ Simpson `If I did it book` ” – http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6517875&ps=rs or just the inane “The Keffiyeh Kerfuffle” – http://michellemalkin.com/2008/05/23/of-donuts-and-dumb-celebrities/

Consumers of the right wing’s media product are pretty inundated with “issues” , be they real or conjured by the small army of pundits and writers, most of these are trivial , but they are meant to get voters agitated about “x”, and out to vote about “x”.

What I found particularly illuminating was the OJ fiasco, which was financed, bought and paid for by Fox media , was that media pundits normally loyal actually almost came to recommend boycotting their OWN station! – The rarity of this type of revolt was notable, and Mr. Murdoch quickly did an about face, and tried to bury association – Notably Bill O’Rielly was so genuinely offended he refused to cover it.

Ultimately the Goldman family sued and won a formal apology from Mr. Murdoch for milking their suffering.

So in the real scope of things once the Fox News / GOP machine moves on to another item, this will likely slowly move towards societal acceptability.

Michelle answers:

Here is the problem. Some of the people (conservatives) disapprove of any reform. Some of the people (liberals) disapprove because they wanted single payer instead, but they are in favor of reform. The conservatives tend to lump both those groups together and report the numbers as if it were proving only their point, which is untrue. So unless you find a poll that breaks down these two groups, or if anyone tries to give you the combined numbers, blow off what they say.

Add to that the fact that people believe lying propaganda because they don’t research anything for themselves. A Harrison Poll revealed that the Republican lying propaganda campaign has been so successful that Republicans actually believe the following about President Obama:

* He is a socialist (40%)
* He wants to take away Americans’ right to own guns (38%)
* He is a Muslim (32%)
* He wants to turn over the sovereignty of the United States to a one world government (29%)
* He has done many things that are unconstitutional (29%)
* He resents America’s heritage (27%)
* He does what Wall Street and the bankers tell him to do (27%)
* He was not born in the United States and so is not eligible to be president (25%)
* He is a domestic enemy that the U.S. Constitutions speaks of (25%)
* He is a racist (23%)
* He is anti-American (23%)
* He wants to use an economic collapse or terrorist attack as an excuse to take dictatorial powers (23%)
* He is doing many of the things that Hitler did (20%)
* He may be the Anti-Christ (14%)
* He wants the terrorists to win (13%)

Rolling Stone magazine has been around since I was in Jr. High, 48 years ago. It was always a highly respected artsy magazine that had the latest on music, dancing, rock groups and fashion.

They’ve become political as well now and know their stuff.

Guess what? Fox News viewers are the MOST misinformed that exist. You don’t get your news from newscaster or any journalists. You get opinions, they spread the Republican hate. If you watch nothing else, you’re doing yourselves a gross injustice.

Watch Fox if you want. But don’t limit yourself. The world is WAY MORE than Fox News.

Michelle answers:

Brainwashing. It’s effective. So effective that they don’t even realize it.

Michelle answers:

Every news source is biased according to the views of the news providers, thus, any news source can be considered propaganda to some degree.

Having never lived during the 1940s or ’50s in either of those countries, I can’t compare Fox News to their news sources. However, I am willing to say that, while most Fox personalities definitely lean toward the far political right, the network is probably more balanced than Soviet and Nazi news agencies were. My opinion is based on the principle that Soviet and Nazi networks were state-run, where Fox is independent of the state, insofar as being controlled by the government goes. Also, I have seen Beck rail on both of the major U.S. Parties in his overly-dramatic way, not just Democrats like all the others.

Michelle answers:

Of course.

The estimated delivery time on fedex.com is the time that they *actually* expect the package to be delivered – not the service guarantee time. Since it wasn’t delivered yesterday, obviously they don’t expect it to be delivered yesterday. That there’s no estimated delivery time listed at all means that they have a problem, and don’t know when they will get it to you. When they can make a new estimate, they’ll post it. (You can set the website to text you with updates, if you want)

UPS can turn a brick into gravel. Use heavy padding in the box. Place it in another box with more padding. Not kidding. I’ve had a few broken items from FedEx as well but not as many as UPS.

To find which is cheaper simply visit both sites and use their shipping calculators. Enter a fake weight and destination. Compare the two costs.

Michelle answers:

2 to 3 days. Will depend on when the shipper gets it to FedEx.

Michelle answers:

Depending on where you sent it to, the weather could have messed it up. If the FedEx truck wasn’t in Louisville, it could have gotten stuck in some weather. If not, chances are the truck may have has some problems or there was traffic. Not sure on that one. Good luck!

Michelle answers:

Someone has to cater to the extremely frightened and ignorant. Fox Noise is an infotainment channel driven solely by profit at the whim of Rupert Murdock. They recycle the opinions of their talking gasbags – Beck, Hannity and OReilly, using the statisics these idiots create to support their theories and present this moronic blather as fact on their news programs.

And they provide a substantial amount of material to The Daily Show and The Colbert Report on Comedy Central. And those shows are funny on purpose!

Michelle answers:

Fox news is more about entertainment than news, flashy graphics, punchy slogans – and ‘We’ll be back after these message!’ For real news you should check out independent journalist such as John Pilger and Amy Goodman.

Democracy Now is an excellent news program.

Michelle answers:

I used to watch fox news but in the pass couple year ago they seem like is not about news anymore, it’s like the official republican party channel now, they suxs big time.

Michelle answers:

Well, I’m pretty sure American Idol crushes Fox News in the ratings. That doesn’t make American Idol a more legitimate source of accurate news or information.

They get hate because they are a blatantly dishonest organization. They claim to be a news organization, but studies have shown that people who get their their news from Faux know less about the news than people who don’t watch any news at all.

That means Faux News is spreading falsehoods/lies/progaganda/misinformation, which is the opposite of what news is supposed to do.

Fox News gets bashed because they are a crappy organization with a shoddy product.

EDIT – Google “Fox News Lies List” – that should occupy you for the next decade. Here’s a very basic one – when covering the very, very peaceful protests at Wisconsin capitol, while trying to portray the protestors as violent radicals, they ran footage of an unruly mob with fights breaking out. Problem with the footage was that there aren’t palm trees in Madison Wisconsin – they ran footage of a TEA PARTY rally in California while trying to portray the liberal protestors as thugs. You don’t get much more dishonest than that.

– Here’s a new one. A Fox News “reporter” claimed there were allegations of “Micky Mouse” and “Adolf Hitler” being on Governor Walker recall petitions. Utterly false. Expect to hear those phony claims repeated here, ad nauseum
