How to Make Fondant Tutorial - Yeners Homemade Fondant Recipe with No Marshmallows for any Weather

Yeners Cake Tips - Yeners Way

When I had my cake shop some years ago, we made dozens of cakes a week and needed about 30-50kg of fondant per week. As you can imagine, this would have cost a lot of money if I was to buy ready made fondant so we saved quite a lot of money making it ourselves.

At that time, our fondant recipe was quite complicated with many different things. It wasn't as good as store-bought rolled fondant but it got us by for many years. Today, I want to share with you a simplified recipe that works well and only requires a few simple ingredients that are easily available to you.

In the past few years, I have been asked by many people for a fondant recipe so it brings me great joy to finally make this tutorial for you guys.

So here it is...My homemade fondant recipe! In this tutorial I show you how to make your own fondant at home with some very simple ingredients. This fondant recipe does not contain marshmallows like most homemade fondant recipes do and it should work ok in most weather types. I really hope you find this recipe useful.

Notes for making this fondant and recipe:
When Yener says icing mix means confectioner's sugar. This is icing sugar mixed with 3% corn starch. Those of us who cannot get this readily available can make it ourselves by adding 30g of corn starch to a kilo of icing sugar (15g to 500 or 7.5g to 250g)
This recipe makes 500g of fondant.

Make the tapioca part with
10g tapioca
50g confectioner's sugar
60g water

Mix and warm in microwave until it's a gel. Add flavourings and colouring to the cooled gel. Paste colours are best.

Add this to

375g confectioner's sugar
20g shortening
5g tylose

Mix until incorporated (can use mixer with dough hooks or by hand) leave overnight to rest

I’m so happy to see you happy and healthy. I remember when I first started watching YouTube, you were one of the first 10 people I subscribed to. You pretty much blew my mind with your knowledge. And sir, you haven’t changed a bit! God bless to you as well. 👍🏼🤍

I just made this today as I had to order the starch, it was so lovely 😍 I cried a little it's the first time I have ever covered a cake with ease. I avoided fondant cause it was so hard and never seemed to behave like in the vedios on YouTube, this is the first time I used all the techniques and they just worked. I covered the cake in no time and it looked great. Thank you so so much.

You are an excellent teacher sir!
You make things simple. Thanks a million for always ready to share your long term knowledge. I deeply appreciate !!!

I'm so amaze by how you decorate your cakes using simple things that other people see as junk, it doesn't need to use fancy cake decorating materials to make an excellent cake. ❤❤❤❤

I have been blessed by your back to basics tutorials. I can watch your videos all day in awe but I also am enabled to try because of your wonderful teaching ability. I am looking forward to giving this fondant recipe a try. Thank you so much for the help you provide to a newbie like me as well as the most skilled individual. We are always learning and you have taught so much.

You are such an amazing teacher. You are a boon to the baking world!!! especially to budding baker like me. I have always used your pastillage recipe and its never failed me. I am surely gonna try this fondant recipe (i tried a different recipe once and failed) and would love to have a detailed video on pastillage use. God Bless you too!! xoxo

JUMP TO 12:29 for recipe

Just made this. I overcooked the tapioca mixture so it made the fondant a bit dry but that was easily fixed with an extra teaspoon of water and I'll add more shortening when I go to roll it out. How do you know you've overcooked the tapioca? When it's clinging to the sides of the bowl and spoon. I doubled the recipe and did 2 mins in the microwave, next time I'll go in 10 second increments. What you want to see is a combined mixture that doesn't stick to anything. Just my experience, hope it helps someone. I would say also add flavourings and colourings at the tapioca stage so when the tapioca is cooked and cooled add those ingredients then. Paste colour would probably be best as it won't add extra liquid.

I absolutely love your tutorials and would appreciate you continuing to do more general teaching. For example, showing us how you did a simple version of homemade fondant was great. If you could teach us how you do your modeling paste, I would love that also. I am a hobby baker but love to learn, not that I could ever come even close to the Talent that you demonstrate.

I have always hated the taste and texture of fondant. That was before I came across yours. Absolutely, love this recipe. Thank you so much.
