If it is going to be eaten then cornstarch should be used. If it is not going to be eaten (just decoration) then tylose gum works great.

If you're trying to stiffen the fondant to make it easier to use in silicone molds, but it will be eaten as part of the cake, you should use cornstarch. If you're using it to model figures that won't be eaten, you should use a gum like tylose or gum tragacanth.
