Instructions:Â Chocolate Poured Fondant
step 1
Follow Quick Pour Fondant Icing recipe, but increase amount of water by 1 ounce. After fondant is heated, stir in 3 ounces of melted, unsweetened chocolate, then add flavoring.
step 2
In saucepan, combine sugar, water and corn syrup; stir over low heat until well-mixed and heated to 92°F (thin enough to be poured, but thick enough so it won’t run off the cake, cupcake, or cookie). After fondant is heated, stir in melted chocolate, then add flavoring.
step 3
To cover cake or cupcake, ice smoothly with buttercream and let icing crust, or cover with apricot glaze. Place cake on cooling rack with a cookie sheet beneath it. Pour fondant over iced cake, flowing from center and moving out in a circular motion. Touch up sides with a spatula.
step 4
Excess fondant can be stored, tightly covered, in refrigerator for weeks. Reheat to use again.
step 5
Recipe may be doubled or tripled.
