Does MMF ever look as good, cover as good, and as pliable, as the store bought stuff? I want to believe it is, but I've never worked with store bought. But it seems like everytime I find a photo I think is awesome, I ask what Fondant they use and its a store bought brand!

So my second question is IF MMF will never be as good as the store bought stuff, then which brands are best and which ones don't taste disgusting?

Try MFF. Very superior taste and easy to work with. I started leaving the vanilla out, and adding a bit of almond extract. Yum!

I make Michelle Foster's fondant - from the recipe section here. Love it. I've also used Satin Ice, has a good flavor, too. That's the extent of my knowledge!

I'm not saying my stuff is awesome but if you look in my photos, all I use is MMF. I get pretty decent results with it.

I have bought the Wilton brand from Wal-mart ONCE!! It tasted horrible and even the smell when working with it made my stomache turn. I work at a funeral home also so I know what smells good and bad! I always make marshmallow fondant with the recipe from here. I have tried European fondant recipe from here as well but it tends to dry out after 1-2 days in the fridge and with a full time job I need to make fondant at least 2 days ahead of time to do a cake on a Saturday.
I would love to try Satin Ice fondant but I live in the middle of no where Oregon and the shipping charges aren't cheap. I'm far from a professional so MMF works for me!

I usually make MMF but I add 2 tbsp glucose or white corn syrup and 1 tbsp glycerine. The fondant is very plyable and tastes great.

Thanks everyone. My last couple forum questions have been about MMF, I'm sure you can all see how irritated I am getting with it! LOL! That's all I have used, and I get a different result everytime So, I will just keep working with it and know some day it will work with me

And...Texas Rose, I just looked at your stuff and it is awesome! YAY gives me hope!!!!!!

Can you make your own marshmallows for MMF?

I wouldn't bother making your own marshmallows for MMF. If you are going to go through all of those steps you might as wll make non-marshmallow fondant.

(Plus... homemade marshmallows are too yummy to be turned into fondant.. )

Thanks! I wasn't fishing for compliments by the way

Anyhow, looking at your cake photos I'm thinking that the only time the MMF gives you grief is when you're making a dark color. It does that to all of us...I've noticed that sometimes adding a little water will help. Also, if you need a whole batch of one color, you can put the color in when you add the water to the marshmallows.

Okay. Great tips I went from crumbly fondant on the Topsy Turvy to So soft I could barely move it Fondant, hopefully my pictures don't show the issues I was having. But I definitely need something in between . But on my package cake it was pretty perfect.....so IDK, it's hit or miss!!! And I prefer it be HIT all the time..haha

Okay, what is MFF? I tried searching in the recipes section and got no results...

I haven't done fondant in a while, but I think next time I do I will order some satin ice. My MMF always seems too inconsistent.

Texas_Rose, I also have used MMF for all my cakes. High five to the MMF girls!
