Cooking time: 45 mins

STEP 1
Products for making fudge
STEP 2
Pour sugar into a stainless steel pan. It's better to take hot water
STEP 3
Pour water over sugar and stir until dissolved.
STEP 4
Place the pan with the syrup on the stove, turn on high heat, when it boils, skim off any foam that has formed and cook with the lid closed for about 10 minutes until it becomes a soft ball.
STEP 5
Soft ball test - to get a soft ball, you need to periodically take a sample of the syrup with a cold teaspoon, then quickly cool it in a bowl or plate with cold water. After rapid cooling, you need to try to roll the syrup into a ball. If you managed to roll the ball and it does not stick to your hands, then the syrup is ready.
STEP 6
Cool the syrup; to do this, simply place it in a bowl of cold water.
STEP 7
Add citric acid. You can measure it with a teaspoon, or you can simply squeeze 12 drops from lemon.
STEP 8
Beat with a mixer until the syrup turns white and curls into a crystalline mass.
STEP 9
To glaze the fondant, you need to heat it to 45-50 degrees. If you add coconut flakes, you get a textured coating for the cake.
STEP 10
You can tint the fondant with food coloring and make figures.
STEP 11
Cake decorated with sugar fondant

I really liked the article!!! To be honest, at first glance (based on the title photo), it seemed to me that there would be something uninteresting. Just three simple ingredients... And it turned out to be so interesting!!! I was especially attracted by the “soft ball test” technology - a very interesting way to check the readiness of the syrup! And the last photo: the decorated cake - what a miracle))) Thanks for the recipe!

Thank you for appreciating my work. Sugar fudge is really very convenient for decorating confectionery products; it is a little inferior to mastic, but quite suitable for home cooking.
