Have I just gotten bad batches of fondant or does it just taste bad. I love the way it looks on a cake but hate the flavor! Any sudgestions?

No, you did not get a bad batch, fondant tastes horrible! If you want to use fondant make MMF, marshmellow fondant. The recipe is on this site and it tastes good!

She's right. Use MMF. You can flavor it whatever you want and it's easy to make and work with.

depends on what type of fondant you are buying. If you are buying wiltons fondant, thats just the way it tastes. Try a different brand or try making your own. I haven't tried the MMF but hear it is very good. I use Satin ice fondant, and it has a wonderful vanilla flavor.

I agree with peg818. Fondant flavors differ greatly among brands. I (and many others on CC) think Wilton's tastes just awful, but SatinIce, Pettinice, Regalice, and Massa Grischuna taste much better. I also haven't tried MMF yet, but the general consensus seems to be that it tastes great. Don't give up on fondant yet!!

Wilton fondant tastes like:
- soap
- play-doh
and
- clay

All combined into an awful-smelling dough.

Not that I know what those things taste like, but I can only imagine!

I've only used MMF to decorate with, and I LOVE it. Super easy, way cheap, and it tastes like a marshmallow dough. Yum!

Try choco-pan it is yummy!
