does fondent have a flavor, or do you have to add it?

Answer 1

Fondant Recipe
2/3 c. or 1/2 can Condensed Milk
1/2 c. butter, creamed
1 tsp. salt
5 1/2 c. icing sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Cream butter. Add condensed milk, salt, then add icing sugar gradually. Mix, then pour onto a baking board and knead with hands until smooth. You may divide and color and flavor each section as you wish. Make into small sized shapes, let set overnight and dip in chocolate.

Note: you can make Easter eggs with this recipe by coloring some of the fondant yellow, rolling it into small balls, and covering with white fondant that you shape into egg shapes

Note: Christmas mints can be made this way by including candy canes that you hit in a plastic bag with a rolling pin to break them up into small pieces. Makes really unique colors and a nice minty taste. You can also add ground nuts to the centers of these. Your imagination is your only limit.

Answer 2

You have to add flavor and color, but if you're buying pre made fondant it can already come in a flavor or color. They also make fondant in white chocoalte which I've found it actually the best to work with and best flavor.
