Notes

8 cups of sieved powdered sugar will be a bit less than 1000g/1kg. Cups are a measure of volume, when the sugar is sieved the volume increases a little.
NOTE: I don't recommend agar agar instead of gelatin as others have had issues using it. 8 cups of powdered/icing sugar will make about 1kg of fondant.
