So far I only have used Buttercream and tried fondant (hated the taste). I am however frustrated at the limitations in decorative possibilities such as sculpting ,cutouts, etc., and wondered if rolled buttercream behaves like fondant yet hopefully tastes like buttercream. Anybodies thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Rolled BC is much softer than fondant. It's super stretchy and unless it's cold, I can never work with it. I know people will use it on cakes but it's rare and I believe they have more trouble with it than it's worth.

Now the real question is.... What fondant did you make? If you tried Wilton, it's awful and should not even be classified as edible. Disgusting stuff. If that's all you have tried, then you definitely need to try other fondants. Satin Ice gets great reviews, as well as Pettinice, and I love MMF (I make it using Rhonda's Ultimate recipe from the CC section).

I personally think that rolled bc is the nastiest stuff ever conceived. I'll eat Wilton fondant first. It's like greasy bad fondant. yuk. And difficult to work with also.

However, I loooove Satin Ice. Pettinice is also good. I haven't tried Fondx but a lot of people seem to like it.

OK I will try fondant (satin ice ) again 'cuz I really want to do more with "sculpting"...Thanks guys

My family aren't fondant eaters either, but Satin Ice is well-liked by everyone. It also works up very well.

i use michele foster's and it is easy to work with. tastes good too. well... i also put tons of flavoring in it, so i guess that contributed to the taste as well.
