It is actually cheaper than satin ice. I would not recommend it for making decorations that you want to harden as it does not harden well, even with tylose powder added to it. But for covering cakes it is amazing. Tastes the best, you can roll it thinner so it's not really chewy on the cake and it does not dry out so it is awesome for beginners. I use it on all of my cakes and everyone loves it. Definitely get the buttercream flavor over the vanilla. The chocolate tastes like tootsie rolls, and the fruit flavors taste similar to starburst.

The recipe I always use is: http://cakecentral.com/recipes/3183/rhondas-ult... Instead of kneading it by hand, when you get to the kneading part, grease your bowl and dough hook (very important!), set it on speed 2, and knead until it's the consistency you want. Also, I've gotten the Princess Cake and Cookie emulsion and used it in my MMF, and it's a huge hit. Replace the 1/2 tsp lemon extract with 1 tsp. <a href="http://www.sugarcraft.com/catalog/misc/flavorings.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.sugarcraft.com/catalog/misc/flavorin...</a> FYI – Marshmallow fondant is SO much easier to make when you have a heavy-duty stand mixer, like a Kitchenaid, with a dough hook.

I make cakes for friends/family/co-workers as a hobby and completely agree that the Wilton fondant is horrible. I started making my own marshmallow fondant, which as Hello Bella indicated is a pain and messy. Its very time consuming very easy to mess it up by adding too much powdered sugar. So when I found a small local wedding shop looking for things for my upcoming wedding that also had half of a store of cake supplies I was in heaven and saw the Satin Ice there. I was really afraid to try it because of the experience with wilton and the price (its a little more expensive where I am then indicated in your post). But I decided to suck it up because I was making a cake and already had gone through two batches of marshmallow fondant that didn't turn out. And I was so exciteded when I tore off a little piece and found that it tasted just the same as the marshmallow fondant. With your suggestions I will be trying the Fondx and Fondarific as well!

This helps me out a ton, as I'm looking to make my daughter's first birthday cake in 2 weeks. The only fondant I've ever tried is the Wilton pre-made kind, and I agree, it is terrible!! As my sister said, "It tastes like something you would patch up a wall with." I'm going to hunt down some Fondarific. Thanks so much! Thank you for the helpful info!
