Note:
Make sure working surfaces are clean, dry and smooth.
Using cornstarch or powdered sugar to dust your work surface is a personal preference. Cornstarch will dry out fondant so never knee cornstarch into your fondant. Cornstarch can be helpful during humid weather.
Powdered sugar is preferable for dusting work surfaces when using a dense, dry or colored fondant.
Good luck and have fun baking !
