Question: I was wondering if someone - maybe a chef or a parent cud help me!. today at the playgroup i work in we used!.!.!.

so i was wondering if anyone knows what this stuff is called!. hope u guys dont think im crazy for calling it playdough like food but thats what it looked and felt like and even the kids asked if it was playdough!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:

It could be a number of things!. I wonder if possibly you are British and what you call biscuits, I, an American, would call cookies!. If that is the case, it could have been either marzipan, which is made from almond paste and sugar, or fondant, which is made from cornsyrup, powdered sugar, and flavoring!. If it was biscuits as in buttermilk biscuits, then it quite possibly could have been biscuit dough dyed with food coloring!. Playdough, as we know it, is simply a basic unleavened dough!. If you were to make it at home, it would probably be made from rice flour, salt, and water!. Hope this helps!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hi It was probably ready to roll icing, which is a malleable play dough-like white substance that can be colored and it used to cover cakes!. Sometimes known as Regalice, though supermarkets make their own brands tooWww@FoodAQ@Com

You were using fondant!. It is edible and often used for decorating cakes and like!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
