Fondant problems

Working with fondant can be tricky.  I have found this out the hard way myself with fondant.  Working with marshmallow fondant I found out came out okay but when I wrapped it around the cake it sweat really bad. I tried making homemade fondant for a birthday cake im making and assembling this weekend & it tasted great but was really soft and wouldn't roll out and wouldn't crumble if I tried to pick it up. I amd going to test some more ideas today and see if I can fix this.

They say that you should use Crisco on your fingers while working/kneading the fondant. Also, I was adding more and more powdered sugar to enhance the flavor and try to thicken up. However,  they do say cornstarch works better, so maybe if I knead a little in it will stiffen up but not too much or change the flavor.

I will keep yall updated if you're there....
