Instructions

1. Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a medium-sized glass bowl. Place the bowl on top of a pot of boiling water (to create a double boiler), and whisk until the gelatin dissolves.
2. Stir in the butter and honey, and whisk until smooth.
3. Pour 2 pounds of powdered sugar into a very large bowl, and make a well in the middle of it. Pour the honey mixture into the well, and then stir it into the powdered sugar.
4. Stir until you have a dough the consistency of bread dough, adding powdered sugar as necessary.
5. Sprinkle powdered sugar on a clean countertop, and place the fondant on top. Knead, adding powdered sugar as necessary, until you have a smooth round ball of fondant.
6. Work in food coloring as desired, kneading and adding powdered sugar when necessary.
