hello there
i was just wondering if i can use corn syrup to make fondant instead of glucose, has anyone tried it? i would really love to know if there is a difference, and does anyone know how to make glucose, i heard you can just but the powered glucose and mix with water…...any thoughts?
thanx

Patricia,  the recipe I use for fondant is with corn syrup.  works and tastes great.  Not sure what the difference between two is…

well i read the ingredients of the glucose and guess what it said??? corn syrup LOL!  i can’t believe it, thanks so much for you quick response!!!!

Not sure if I’m remembering this correctly, but I think glucose has less water than corn syrup.  If you use the fondant recipe in the Cake Bible, I think there’s a note about using corn syrup instead of glucose.

I use the fondant recipe from TCB and I always use corn syrup instead of glucose (just b/c I always have it on hand). Julie is right, there is a note about substituting - if you use corn syrup, reduce the water to 3T instead of 1/4 cup. TCB fondant recipe is extremely good and so easy to work with.

thanks so much, i can’t wait to try it
