What to use in place of glycerin fondant roll?
It sounds like you're asking about what to use instead of a glycerin fondant roll for rolling out fondant. Here are some alternatives:
For Rolling Out Fondant:
* Cornstarch: Lightly dust your work surface and rolling pin with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
* Powdered Sugar: Similar to cornstarch, powdered sugar can help prevent fondant from sticking. However, it can sometimes leave a slightly grainy texture on the fondant.
* Vegetable Shortening: A thin layer of vegetable shortening on your work surface and rolling pin can create a smooth, non-stick surface.
* Parchment Paper: Rolling fondant on parchment paper can be very helpful, as it prevents sticking and makes for easy cleanup.
Other Alternatives:
* Gumpaste: Gumpaste is a type of fondant that dries harder and is better suited for delicate details. It's typically rolled out on a cornstarch-dusted surface.
* Modeling Chocolate: Modeling chocolate is a pliable, chocolate-based material that can be used for sculpting and decorations. It's often rolled out on a smooth, non-porous surface like a marble slab or tile.
* Fondant Sheets: Pre-made fondant sheets are a convenient option for covering cakes and other desserts. They are often already rolled out and require little to no additional work.
Important Considerations:
* Type of Fondant: Different types of fondant require different techniques and tools. For example, glycerin fondant is often softer and more pliable, while traditional fondant can be more firm.
* Climate: Humidity can affect the texture of fondant, making it sticky. In humid conditions, you may need to use more cornstarch or powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
