Mmf Or Michelle Fosters Fondant?
Decorating By yummymummy Updated 27 Mar 2008 , 5:02pm by chicapastel
Okay, so I'm doing this communion cake in the shape of a bible and client chose to cover w/ fondant. I explained that fondant is an acquired taste for some people because it's pretty sweet. She doesn't mind. That being said, should I use MMF of MFF? Ive used MMF, but haven't yet tried MFF. What are the pros and cons of both, and how is the flavor comparison?
Again, Thanks a bunch CCer's!!!
I LOVE Michele Foster's Fondant! The taste is much better, the elasticity is better, and...you can flavor it how you wish... I have started matching my buttercream and my fondant flavors... I'm doing a Sweet Sixteen this week that I'm using Creme Bouquet... Just remember that it has to rest for the gelatin to do it's thing... So don't worry about it if you don't think that it's not "Firm" enough when you wrap it up to rest... It seems a bit loose, but it will get there!
When I was using MMF, I did find that it worked better if I added a couple of tablespoons of corn syrup...
HTH,
Pat
Michele Fosters all the way. Had to make 5 batches for a wedding cake this month and each one had the same consistency and it's DEEElicious. I don't use anything else.
Michele Fosters for sure! I've tried MMF and Toba Garett's recipe and since trying Michele's I've never made anything else. You'll love it.
Thanks everybody! I'm so glad so many like my fondant recipe. I'm also thrilled that I am now an acronym.

LOL! You're now famous! oh yeah...sorry I spelled your name wrong! I knew it looked funny when I typed it! A thousand apologies!
There really is no comparison. between the two IMHO. MMF taste like marshmallows and literally slid off the sides of my cake. I tried Tobas and while it's nice MFF has the taste and WORKABILITY that I couldn't get with the other two. And it really isn't any harder to make MFF than MMF.

Don't worry. You wouldn't believe how many different ways my name has been spelled AND pronounced! Mitchell, Marshall, Machete, Michael, etc.
It doesn't bother me at all.

I get that w/ my last name! You have no idea how many people call our house or send us mail and add an "n" smack dab in the middle of my last name! Hello? Can these people read? There's no "n" in Frechette!
LOL...in their defense though, we're only human!
curious kids. How long does this fondant last??
It has milk in it. Can it sit, or have to be used right away?(Michelles fondant)
it's probably like certain BC recipes, the large amount of sugar stabilizes the small amount of milk and butter.
Michele,
Where can I find your fondant recipe? I would love to try it.
Thanks

The sugar acts as a preservative, so the fondant will last a long time. I've had some sitting on the counter waiting to be used on a show cake for about a month now, and it's still fine. It also freezes very well. Just be sure to always keep it very well wrapped.
