I have used MMF when I loved in Duluth, MN. It worked like a dream. I love the stuff. Then moved out to Flagstaff, AZ. It is very sticky here in AZ(we went from humid weather to dry heat) Once on the cake I get multiple air pockets. It doesn't drape smoothly. All in all, the cake looks like a 4 year old did it. I have pulled the MMF off the cake and smoothed the frosting on the cake. Kneaded the MMF, added more powdered sugar. Rolled it out to about 1/4 inch thick, and tried covering it again. But dang it!! I get the same results. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there anyone in the area (mainly AZ) who uses MMF? I could really use some pointers.

Aside from that what other type of fondant is there...Satin Ice, Choco Pan,& Wilton .
Is there anything else?

Can't help with the MMF, but I bought 10 lbs of Fondx yesterday and paid $40 with delivery... www.caljavaonline.com

There's also Fondx and Pettinice that you can buy OR you can try making Michele Foster's fondant or Toba Garrett's fondant.

I use Satin Ice myself and I like it. It's really soft though.

I live in Phoenix (Ahwatukee) and make mmf as well. I haven't had any problems with air pockets.

I don't know what recipe you use, but I just use the standard 16 oz bag of mm, 2 Tbsp water, but instead of the full package of ps, I just use 6 cups when using the dough hook on my KA and knead in another cup by hand.

Are you giving it enough time to rest before you roll it out? Could you be over-kneading it?

Is there a difference in the recipe when you use MM fluff? That's the one I've been using. Maybe I'll give the bag of MM just for kicks.

Thanks

when making mmf you have to let it rest for 24 hours. it's easier to work with after it has had time to sit.

here is an article on mmf. scroll down a bit to get to the article.
hope this helps.

I don't care for the MMF made with the fluff, I can never get it to the right consistency. I think you are right, indydebi, there is a lot of air whipped in and it is sticky-gooey!
