Sugar, Sugar, Wonderful Sugar!

Tonight I made fondant! And had powdered sugar all over the kitchen, almost killed my kitchen aid mixer, learned I don't own a strainer, and realized I really really need to make or by an apron, but I made fondant and so far it seemed to turn out pretty good! Last year during my cake decorating classes I worked with fondant a little and it seemed pretty fun, but the Wilton premade was not very good at all, it was not edible. At one point I did try and make fondant, but didn't have a double boiler(tried it with two pans and it just didn't work well) and it still didn't turn out right. I just left it at that figured I would figure something out when I needed to.
Wilton came out with the 2010 cake book so I picked it up(I have to get it every yr :)!), N looked through it with me and this year they have transformer cakes. Well he wants one of them(of course!) and it's covered in fondant, so with the Fourth of July coming up I figured I would try my hand at fondant again, this time with a double boiler and a new recipe. I think I could have used more vanilla, but so far it's seems to be pretty good, and it's much easier to work with then the other batch I made last yr. I have to wait at lest 24hr to use it, so for the moment it's sitting on the counter in a plastic bag.
