Sweetlayers..... Wilton??? OMG, that is the worst stuff out there. The only thing it's good for is covering dummies.
In my opinion, chocolate fondant is the way to go. I make a wonderful semi-homemade that tastes great. Semi-homemade is easier than all homemade 
I'm here to help if you need me.

I said I'd never use a box mix. I still bake from scratch but there are a few cakes that I'll do from a mix with doctoring.
I also said that I'd probably never do fondant. Now I love to work with it (sometimes).
I make Michelle Fosters fondant recipe or I buy Albert Uster fondant. Love the stuff, they both taste wonderful.
i've tried michelle's fondant but not AU. can you tell me the difference between the two as far as how they handle? do you prefer one over the other?
Hee hee all the ant issues I've caused!
Wily_kitt, you got me too....your avatar made me jump out of my chair, yikess!!!! 
I'm a clean freak and no dust or bugs in my house so, you can imagine how my heart sank to see a bug on my screen LOL, 
then it down on me...phewww, it's only your avatar he,he 
Wilton Fondant!!!
I think I just puked in my mouth a little bit
LOL, this is a funny thread! But I have to agree. . . YUCK! MMF is so easy and cheap to make, it's fresh, has no preservatives, I can freeze it in bulk and thaw and color as I need it! It's so easy AND it has a fail-safe good taste!
I said "I would never freeze a cake"!!! But, I'm still so new, I'm not sure what the future holds! LOL! I can see myself getting over-booked and having to freeze just to keep up! We'll see. . . 
Wow, you guys that buy Wilton to put on a cake. Nevermind the taste, but holy cow, that is some of the MOST expensive fondant there is! And you can't eat it! I don't understand why you guys throw money away on something you can't serve to a dying horse!
Are we only talking about baking stuff we swore we'd never do? If not, I have a very long list.

You got me curious. We may have to move this topic to the "lounge"!
I said I would never gain so much weight...but I did!

LOOOOOL!!!
This is the *worst* hobby to have when you're watching your waistline. When I'm caking I end up sneaking a glob of fondant here, a spoonful of frosting there...it just never ends.
I said I'd never become "one of those obsessive, crazy cake ladies". Yet here I am....
So for all the talk about freezing cakes I have a question, when you freeze the cakes in advance-what temp do you start to decorate them. Do you start when they are still frozen? Semi-frozen? Cold? or wait until they are room temp? I work full time and go to school full time so I have VERY limited time here and there to work on my cakes so it would be nice to be able to make a cake on one day, freeze it, and do the decorating another day!
