Rolled Buttercream Fondant

1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
2 pounds confectioners' sugar


1. In a large bowl, stir together the shortening
and corn syrup.
Mix in the salt and vanilla flavoring,
then gradually mix in the confectioners' sugar
until it is a stiff dough.
If you are using a stand mixer, use the
dough hook attachment. Otherwise,
knead by hand. If the dough is sticky, knead in
more confectioners' sugar until it is smooth.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature
or in the refrigerator.

2. To use, roll out on a clean surface that has been
dusted with confectioners' sugar until it is 1/8 inch
thick or thinner if you can. Drape over frosted and
chilled cakes and smooth the sides down, or cut
into strips to make bows and other decorations.
