How to Keep Fondant From Sticking to Hands
- 1). Rinse your hands thoroughly under running water. Fondant easily picks up lint and dirt, and rinsing your hands prevents this.
- 2). Dry your hands with the paper towel, ensuring they are completely dry. Any remaining water can compromise the integrity of the fondant.
- 3). Cover your hands with a thin layer of shortening. This will not harm the fondant and will prevent it from sticking to your hands.
- 4). Roll the fondant out on your prepared work surface or shape it in to figures with your hands.
- 5). Repeat the application of shortening to your hands any time they become dry or the fondant begins to stick to them.
