The recipe Ruary Rudd gives is for candy, not fondant.  He appears to have
reversed the quantities.  The recipe is 1, 234,5.  1 pint of water raised to
234 F with 5 pounds of sugar.  Fondant is used by bakers to pruduce the icing
on buns.  I believe it is made from icing sugar (fine powder), glycerine, and
water and possibly egg white.  Recipes vary.  Talk to your baker.  Mine lets
me have a honey jar full for 50 pence which I use for feeding mini nucs.
