Satin Icing (Fondant)

This is a true molding icing with a lemony flavor.

Satin Icing (Fondant)


  • 4 tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons lemon juice 6 cups confectioner's sugar, sifted a few drops of food coloring


  2. 2. Add 2 cups of the confectioner's sugar and heat gently, stirring, until dissolved. When the mixture begins to simmer at the sides of the pan, increase the heat slightly and cook for 2 minutes until it boils gently; do not oveerboil at this stage or the icing will be too hard.
  3. 3. Remove the pan from the heat and add 2 cups more confectioners' sugar. Beat thoroughly with a wooden spoon, then turn the icing into a mixing bowl.
  4. 4. Gradually mix in enough of the remaining confectioners' sugar to give a soft dough. Turn the dough onto a surface dusted with confectioners' sugar and knead until it is smooth. Add color, if using.

I kind of have the same Q? Is there anyway you can make it taste other than lemon? Thank you
