What brand of shortening do you use? I have used Earth Balance for years, but can no longer find it in the grocery stores in my area. DD's birthday is coming up and I need some for the frosting and fondant on her cake. Thank you!
If I do use shortening (which is rare) I use crisco. We only avoid peanut and tree nuts though.
Both Crisco and Earths Balance here.
Between 3 of us we are pa, tna, milk & egg allergic. I use crisco. When you get a chance could you post your fondant recipe??

I will post it when I get home. It's on the Wilton web site though (funny since I don't use Wilton products). It's called marshmallow fondant. It's pretty easy (a bit messy though), turns out great and is actually delicious. Will post later.
I'd like to find a pourable fondant recipe that is easy. Where you can dip your cupcakes in it and then the coating hardens on the cupcakes.
