I've tried making my own fondant but haven't had 100% success with the consistency. I know many of you use Satin Ice so I wanted to give it a try but wanted to know where is the cheapest place to purchase it.

Thanks, Ruht

Not sure, try to google it. just a thought

I just bought some from the bakers kitchen online. The actual price was like a dollar more than GSA, but the shipping was about $5 less per tub for me. I saved about $10 and it arrived quickly.

Cakes by Sam.com It's cheaper but the shippingand handling is what gets you!

Into The Oven. intotheoven.com A 20lb bucket is $46.00 and they've super reasonable shipping.

Just bought a 20lb tub from intotheoven.com and it was $46.00 + $16.00 shipping but it arrived 2 days later...fast service and the cheapest I've found!

You can buy it from me, either in shop or I ship. I also charge actual shipping.

Wow that still isn't too cheap huh? How many cakes does 20lbs cover. Like does it do a 10-8-6? Thanks for any information.

I order from Into the oven too....I'm in California so the shipping is ughhhhhh....high...but it's so worth it...I check with a local cake supply store here and for a 20lb bucket.....$100.00....no lie.....it cost me about $46.00 for the fondant and $25.00 to ship.... and their service is great.

Wow that's not too bad then, I never can get it thin enough without it ripping. Also , what do you all use to roll out something as big to cover a 12" ?

A very large fondant roller and muscles till they ache! LOL I powder the surface well with cornstarch too. Just do the same as for the smaller layers.

You can try fondant source as well (AKA jesters). I think they still offer 10% if you enter "cakecentral" in the coupon code.

Thanks for all the tips, it's still quite expensive so I don't know if it's worth purshasing. I do the MMF and my problem is that it is either too sticky or it rips if I roll out thin with the MMF it's kind of hit or miss. I'm quite jelous I see so many perfectly beautiful MMF covered cakes, I just don't know how to get to that perfect consistency any suggestions????

If it's too sticky you may not have kneaded in enough powdered sugar in. Also, I think it's best if you roll your fondant on the thicker side (1/4") when your first doing this and then once you get the hang of it you can think it out some (I wouldn't make it any thinner than an 1/8" though).
