You’re on your own for that one, Juanita. Grocery store prices vary drastically from one place to another.

The clear is to help keep the fondant a pure white colour – using tinted flavourings will ‘muddy’ your white colour.

I’m thinking it wouldn’t be the same. The shortening is just to keep it from sticking. You’re welcome to try though.

If I don’t have an opportunity to find butter extract, could I substitute butter for part of the shortening to get the buttery flavor?

Thank you! I agree, Pepper, you should! Perfect for summertime grilling.
