How do you make your marshmallow fondant less sticky?

1. Add Cornstarch: Before kneading the fondant, lightly dust your hands and a clean work surface with cornstarch. Cornstarch acts as an anti-sticking agent, preventing the fondant from sticking to surfaces.

2. Proper Mixing: Ensure the marshmallow fluff and powdered sugar are mixed thoroughly. Undermixing can result in areas that are too moist and consequently sticky.

3. Kneading: Knead the fondant thoroughly until it becomes smooth and elastic. Thorough kneading helps distribute moisture evenly and reduces stickiness.

4. Sugar-to-Fluff Ratio: Use the correct proportion of powdered sugar to marshmallow fluff. Too much fluff can result in a sticky fondant, while insufficient sugar can make it too soft.

5. Glycerin Adjustment: If the fondant feels too sticky, you can add a tiny bit more powdered sugar. Be cautious not to add too much, as excessive sugar can make the fondant dry.

6. Chilling: Place the fondant in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Chilling firms up the fondant, making it less sticky and more manageable.

7. Use Gloves: Wear clean, powder-free gloves while kneading and working with the fondant.

8. Avoid Water: Steer clear of adding water or any other liquid to the fondant. Water can increase stickiness.
