I currently make MMF when i need to use fondant. I was wondering if anyone would share with me a recipe for fondant that is better in flavor. The MMF is pretty good compared to some, but i'm sure there's better!!!

I like to make mmf and still use it but just recently I purchased Satin Ice and I love it! Its so easy to work with and it taste good too.

I vote Satin Ice too. Definitely the best I've ever tasted!

Cream Cheese fondant tastes good. I've only made it flavored with mint and it tastes like cream cheese mints.

SophiBelle's Jello fondant is also good. It will tast like whatever flavor Jello you use and of course will have that color.

I just got a sample of Fondarific, and boy is that stuff nice! They have a buttercream flavor and fruit flavors that taste like skittles/starbursts. It is not sticky at all, has a very nice feel working with it and has a good mouth feel too.

I've heard that michele foster's fondant is amazing. can't vouch for it myself though!

By far the best tasting fondant I have used is Choco-Pan.
The packaged Wilton fondant is great for learning fondant techniques, but tastes like Clay.
Satin ice is very nice to work with & has a nice flavor & texture.
Choco-Pan is very palatable. it has a white chocolate flavor & pleasing texture. It has a greater yeild than most as well.

Michele Foster's for me!

Choco pan for me. A little harder to work with, but worth it in the taste department.

I found the choco-pan recipe in cc recipes it's not rated very well I wonder why? This Sophibelle's Jello fondant I can't find is this something you must order it's sounds great?

heres the jello fondant.

HTH.

I like the Satin Ice for taste and easy workability. Choco-pan is a little sweet for me. I still haven't mastered making fondant but I've heard Michelle Foster's fondant is amazing. I am wondering about the cream cheese fondant -- where is that recipe??

I'm not a fan of SI. I don't why some really like the taste because to me it tastes manufactured (like vanilla flavored Play Dough). It also dries too fast and too hard.

I've been wanting to try FondX as I've heard from other's who don't like SI but they do like FondX. Chocopan is too soft IMO.

But I am a die-hard MMF fan. I add 1 tsp of popcorn salt which really helps cut the excess sweetness, 1 T of glycerine to make it more pliable, and I use a dram of LoRann butter flavor. It tastes like BC! I also like the taste of it with Nielsen Massey's chocolate extract.

I currently use Satin Ice but I also have tried and like Pettinice. I recently did a class with Bronwen Weber and she uses FondX so that's what we used and I like that too.

I checked out Fondarific's website and it does sound enticing, but $33 for 5lbs is way too high for me.

I have always used a recipe very similar to Michele Foster's. It's especially delicious when flavored with creme bouquet. But I also sometimes use Lorann candy flavorings if I need a different specific flavor.

Thanks for this post--I've only tried the MMF and Tobas...excited to try some of the others. Seems like when you make it , it always vary in recipe (amt of 10x etc) for texture.

Thanks cakedecoratingsmything!! I'm going to try this soon!! I currently use rhonda's ultimate mmf. I always seem to get tears & it's not so easy to work with making flowers.

Where can I find this creme bouquet??

Just Google creme bouquet (or use any other Internet search engine of your choice.)

You can only get it online and at cake decorating specialty stores.

I decided to make cream cheese fondant after HATING Wilton... Ew. I posted my recipe in the recipe section:

http://www.cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-7060-0-Cream-Cheese-base-fondant.html

You can flavor it however you want, even chocolate! I'm partial to the almond flavor, but I have to agree, the mint is VERY tasty!

For ready made, Satin Ice. I have switched to home made though because at this time I have more time than money for supplies. Both Michelle Foster's and Rhonda's are very good. I tend to make Rhonda's more often because the ingredient cost is less, and it is less time consuming. I will have to try the suggestion of the LorAnn flavor.

Thanks Kansaswolf!! I had done a search for it and found nothing. Thanks for sharing!!

Cream Cheese base fondant

Serves/Yields: Covers one cake-mix cake
Prep. Time: 10-15 mins
Cook Time:
Category: Fondant/Gumpaste/Sugarpaste
Difficulty: Moderate


This is a recipe I came up with myself after a horrible experience with tasting Wilton fondant. It uses ingredients that are either in your kitchen, or will be easy to find. Now, FAIR WARNING: this is a soft fondant and is prone to breaking and tearing more than Wilton. I don't know how it compares to Satin Ice or Chocopan, because I've never used anything but this and...Wilton... It may be harder to get PERFECTLY smooth sides, but the taste is to DIE for... All the cakes in my pictures are made with this fondant, except the baby shower cake, if you're wondering how it looks. Hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

8 oz softened cream cheese (I prefer Philly, but other brands may be fine)
2 lbs powdered sugar (NOTE: the amount of PS required will depend on the humidity, altitude, etc.)
1/4-1/2 c. cornstarch
2 tbs corn syrup
1-2 tsp CLEAR vanilla
1-2 tsp almond extract

1. Put cream cheese and half of PS in bowl, mix until smooth. (I mix by hand, but a heavy-duty mixer on low with a bread hook or equivalent would probably work as well)

2. Put half REMAINING PS (1/2 lb) in cream cheese with cornstarch, corn syrup, vanilla and almond extracts. Mix until smooth.

3. Take out of mixer and knead in as much PS as is needed for fondant to be smooth and ALMOST not sticky. If too much PS is added at this point, it will not roll properly. You probably will not need all the powdered sugar called for.

4. Roll out and cover cakes as you would with regular fondant. Also good for figurines, dries well for bows and other decorations. It may not roll out thin enough for realistic flowers, but I don't make those.

OTHER FLAVORS: Substitute any extract or flavoring in place of the almond. For example, I've used mint flavoring and topped chocolate cakes with GREAT success...

Chocolate fondant: Substitute 1/4-1/2 cup cocoa in place of cornstarch. Omit almond flavoring.
