I need to know what the best type of fondant is...and by best I mean easiest to use! Scared to death of the stuff just to be honest, and I need all the tips and ideas I can get. Please and thank you!
well for ease of use its Wilton (as long as you don't plan to eat it)
Then i find that fondx or satin ice pretty easy to use, and they both taste pretty good.
Best tasting (that i have tried) is Choco pan quite expensive and not as easy to use as the others.
This of course is JMO
I have used Fondx, it is delicious. It taste like marshmellow. However, I don't think you can airbrush it. The Chocopan is also great tasting Here is a list of Sharon Zambito's favorites. Just scroll down towards the bottom.

thanks guys - I had heard of Fondx - but is that only available through online ordering?
My kids want to be able to eat the fondant so Wilton's doesn't really work for me
I LOVE Fondarific - the buttercream flavor is great and I have found it super easy to work with. What I don't like is the price, particularly since I don't sell cakes, so cannot recoup the cost, and I'd have to buy it online and have it shipped $$$
I took the advice of several contributors here and started making Michele Foster's Fondant (MFF) - recipe is here. It tastes good because you can flavor it however you want to and it's relatively inexpensive because the only non-grocery-store item in it is glycerin (which isn't expensive-just had to get it in a health food store). It's not quite as flexible to work with as Fondarific but has been a reasonable compromise for me.
Satin Ice is the way to go. Isn't quite as easy to work with as Wilton, but close. And tastes soooo much better!
