Yeah, the icing was the problem- I got so confused over what type to use that I ended up just using Supercook ready rolled white icing. The ready to roll had some questionable ingredients so I used the ready rolled even though I had to then knead in food colouring (somewhat defeating the purpose of using ready rolled!)<BR/><BR/>I didn’t really want this type of icing though as it’s soft and not French Fancy like but at this stage I was more interested in getting the shape and cake taste right. SO....I will be doing these again with a pourable fondant which will give them that slightly ‘crunchy’ outside that petit fours should have – is that the type you tried to make? I plan to use Vegan Yum Yum’s recipe <A HREF="http://veganyumyum.com/2008/01/petits-fours/" REL="nofollow"> here </A> which looks fantastic, although does require corn syrup which you can’t really buy in the UK. I order mine online as I use it a lot and find it can’t always be replaced well. Anyway, hopefully it will work as well as hers and I'll re-post with the results!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17733503025531290452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608706408360417857.post-36233664992265726152009-02-10T17:08:00.000+00:002009-02-10T17:08:00.000+00:00Congratulations!

What brand of fondant have you found in the UK that is vegan?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
