Vegetarian Fondant Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 cups powdered sugar (sifted to avoid lumps)
• 1/4 cup cornstarch (for elasticity and smooth handling)
• 1/4 cup water (room temperature for better consistency)
• 1 tablespoon glycerin (food-grade for pliability)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (or your preferred flavoring)
• 1 tablespoon agar-agar powder (a vegetarian gelatin substitute)
• 2 teaspoons glucose syrup (aids in achieving a silky texture)
• Vegetable shortening (for greasing hands and surfaces)
• Food coloring (gel or powder-based for vibrant shades)
• Edible glitter or luster dust (for decorative purposes)
