I've asked in Parenting, but here goes here too: .I've made this recipe a couple of times http://parich.blogspot.co.nz/2010/02/marshmallow-fondant-ici ng.html Last night's batched looked ok and was easy to work with but had a rubbery texture when we ate the icing on the top of the cake. Any ideas on how/why it happened this time! Thanks

Did you use different marshmallows!I'm not an expert, but do know that marshmallows are largely gelatine, and gelatine can vary a lot

Same brand - I don't like them 'raw' - but they usually make nice icing and in milo, coffee etc.

I'm no expert, after reading the recipe on that link my guess is the texture is different because of the kneading. Have never made it, a brilliant idea sounds like you have to get it to the right stage before its readyto roll, or maybe the contents of the marshmallows have been changed, therefore altering the texture of your icing.

It may be that the air temperature affected the gelatine in some way.
