While I was shopping at Michaels today, tubs of Duffs BC fondant...
I wasn't aware he had a line 
Has anyone try his fondant? I just received my funky tappits today & bought GP for it as suggested by others however I wonder if Duffs fondant would work instead as it already comes colored in red... I will be doing a strawberry shortcake cake & was going to make red gp letters, but as we know how difficult it can be sometimes to make the color red, I thought I'd try Duffs fondant...
It's a little pricy, but I have a coupon for 50% off....
If anyone has tried it pls let me know your thoughts ;o)
TIA

They have a bunch of artist type things like drawing pads and things and he also has premade "kits" to make some of the cakes he's known for. There is a place online that you can buy some of his line. If I type it out it will be blocked so just put craft after sugar and you can see it all.
$30 for 2 lbs??????????????? wowwwwwwwwwwwww
Agreed! I can make 4 pounds of MMF for less than $7.00. Wow, that's some expensive stuff. I've only see Choco-Pan that expensive.

I've just had a look on the website and copied and pasted this:- DUFF GOLDMAN 2 LB PAIL FONDANT $9.00 each. HTH ; 
I sat with Julie Bashore at a dinner last weekend. She's affiliated with Satin Fine Foods, makers of Satin Ice. She told me that Duff's Fondant is denfinitely made by Satin Ice.
I use SI, but I told her I was really disappointed that SI got in bed with Duff and then went on to market a product at such an exhorbitant price.
My opinion won't matter, but that's how I feel. The only good thing to come out of it is that apparently if I need colored fondant in a hurry---and I have a Michael's coupon--I can run out and get some quick!

That's a high price, but making red and black is a pain in the butt, so it's probably worth it for those two colors. Others, not so much.
What a HOOT! I remember watching one of his first shows when he was shocked to learn colored fondant was available! He was mad because they had been doing all the different colors manually themselves! Now he has his name on the stuff!
Yes it is Satin Ice brand, I bought some because Decopac is selling it and that's who I get my white fondant from. I'm sure the price the OP saw is because of the International shipping charges to get it to Canada where she is located. Decopac is selling the 2# buckets for $10 or $26 for all three colors (#2 of each) and they have flat rate shipping. More expensive than SI white, but waaay less than shipping the colored SI real FedEx rate allll the way from SI in NY (to AK).
Duffs fondant is Satin Ice, it actually says it right on the container.
I was at the Baking Expo last weekend in Atlantic City and the rep at the booth told me and then showed me where its written right on the container.

I'm looking at the container I bought yesterday & nowhere does it satin ice...
Has anyone tasted it yet? I'm curious to know now that bridge72 says it smelled like buttered popcorn. And if' it's still Satin Ice but with his name on it uh, why do I have to pay more? I may as well buy the red and black Satin Ice without his name...

This makes me chuckle. This is what's commonly known as free enterprise. It's what corporate America does - finds ways to sell their products. It's kinda' what the U.S. economic system is founded on.
I don't think there's a thing in the world wrong with a company using a celebrity to sell its products. It's used extensively with sporting goods, and every chef I know has a product line. I don't tend to respond positively to that type of marketing. It's pretty obvious that the items are more expensive because so many consumers seem to be influenced by celebrities they like, or they like the status of using a celebrity product.
A concept I learned as a kid is "Buyer Beware". You don't hear that expression much anymore because consumers seem to think that if they make a stupid purchase they're suddenly a victim and it's someone else's fault, but they are words I live by.
To the Ontario group, Virgin Ice now sells their fondant in Black and Red and much cheaper too. I found 4lb pails in Cambridge for about $18. They were nice enough to allow me to taste it before I purchased and the black is very nice.
Do they have any other locations? Cambridge is quite far for me 
Yes..I saw his line in my Michael's last week and it is priced at $30.00 for 2lbs CAD...Sorry but at that price ..I will pass.I can get a 5 kg pail of Cotton Candy smelling white Deccorice from Dawn foods for $22.00...Yeah I have to color it myself but for that price it is worth it!

If you have a bulk barn near you they may sell the virgin ice. I know I have bought some there but not for a long time.
