For best results, use a high-quality vegetable shortening. The flavor will be more neutral, allowing the buttercream taste to shine through. If you prefer a softer fondant, add a tablespoon of water or milk to the mixture. Kneading the fondant well is crucial for achieving a smooth, elastic texture. Don't be afraid to add more confectioners' sugar if needed, but add it gradually to avoid a dry, crumbly fondant. If you're coloring the fondant, use gel food coloring for the most vibrant results. Liquid food coloring can alter the consistency of the fondant. Before draping the fondant over your cake, make sure the frosting is smooth and even. Any imperfections will show through the fondant.
