I have a recipe for it but have never used it...I haven't tried fondant either since I haven't ever had a need for it and all my cake decorating friends hate how it tastes...

Is it difficult to use (rolled bc or fondant) ? What kind of tools do I need to get started experimenting with either one?

thanks

If you do a search for RBC, there have been many discussions about it lately. Here is one, but there are plently more... Oh Jan, are you around to do your linking magic?!?

thanks!

I just tried RBC for the first time today. Didn't really like working with it to cover a cake but the decorations were fine. It could be that I didn't have the correct consistancy. It did taste good though!

(Sorry this took so long, Missy.)

HOLY SMOKES

Looks like I have some reading to do



THANKS JAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're very welcome, tomsmom245.

There is so much information on this thread... and I think I am going to give RBC a try here pretty soon!

its in my favorites now thanks

Just to add my two cents...I made some out of curiosity about two months ago. I covered some cookies with it. I thought it was OK for cookies but I would much rather use fondant. RBC is greasy, that's pretty much my issue with it. I couldn't imagine covering a cake in it. All in all though, it was worth making and perhaps I will use it again for cookies because everyone who ate them was amazed.

I have only tried it once and also found it to be very greasy!! Would much rather use Fondant. Just my opinion though. HTH

Thanks JanH

WOW thank you for all your help!

I use it on almost all my cakes now and love it.

I tried the rolled buttercream and it was very, very greasy and grainy. There was no smooth, ceramic-like finish. After I discovered MMF, I have never gone back. Granted, making it will give you guns but it's worth it!

i just made some MMF and added some butter flavored crisco, to get it to come off of the sides of the bowl in my mixerm and i guess that i made my own version of RBC... which i didnt know existed until some one told me on another forum post...
its not creamy at all...
all i did was make MMF and add crisco little by llittle...
