3. Stir until the unflavored gelatin dissolves and the butter melts.
4. To the gelatin mixture in the heatproof bowl, add 4 cups of icing sugar. Stir together with a wooden spoon or use an electric mixer.
5. Pour mixture out onto a surface spread with icing sugar and knead in the rest of the icing sugar. (3 cups)
6. Place in an airtight container or freezer bag right away.
Notes: If the icing is sticky add more icing sugar. This recipe makes very nice rolled fondant that looks professional. If you want to use fondant after a few days and it goes hard, it can be softened by microwaving it for 30 seconds.
