In your mixer Bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon powdered gelatin into 4 tablespoons of water. Nuke in microwave and pour over 2 tablespoons of shortening.
Add a few drops of large color if you need a batch. I added Americolor Soft Pink. Mix well. Now it seems that the arteries if you eat too much frosting.
Fire your mixer with the paddle, add 2 cups of powdered sugar. Beat on medium speed – not too fast or you'll have powdered sugar everywhere and too much air in the dark.
Add .5 Cup golden syrup, glucose or corn syrup … whatever tickles your fancy. If you are doing white fondant, use something without color. If you're a cheapskate like me, use the cheapest option. Transfer to Blender and add 4 cups powdered sugar, a little at a time, beating on speed, medium-low. It should have a thick texture as royal icing. Your mixer can jump and rattle.
Dump sugar 1 cup powder on your work surface and scrape the dark out of the bowl. It does look like marshmallow fluff or what? You just want to take a bite. Not. It doesn't taste like marshmallow fluff! I learned this the hard way, people.
Mix mix mix! I added about 2 more cups of confectioners sugar here, but it really depends on things such as humidity, measure and planetary alignment. So feel your way forward. Should be quite firm to move or flatten when formed into a ball. But it will be very elastic and soft at this point. Now put 1 tablespoon shortening on his hands and knead well fudge.
Wrap in cling wrap multiple times. I got 1196 grams out of this, components for 2.5 lbs. Let it sit for 24 hours, without needing to refridgerate, although I always do.
