Can someone tell me what is the best fodandt recipe is to use for covering cakes, PLEASE? All the ones I have tried cracks a splits, and it seems to go real greasy. any ideas anyone.

My "hand down" favorite is Michele Foster's Fondant. The receipe is found in the "most saved" receipes here on cc. It's a high quality fondant that taste awesome. It's so easy to work with. I usually add 8 ounces of white chocolate to mine because it's my favorite flavor. It is also good with just vanilla as flavoring. Some swear by Marshmallow Fondant but I have NEVER had much luck with it myself. Michele's receipe however has been perfect everytime. Well....except for the one time that I didn't strain the gelatin mixture before adding to the powdered sugar. If you follow her receipe to a T I guarantee you won't be disappointed. ;

EDIT: You should always let fondant rest overnight or for at least 6 hours before using.

im one of those that swears by MM fondant! i use 1 bag mini marshmallows and a 2lb bag od powdered sugar. put the amrshmallows in the microwave in 30 second intervals until melted. add flavor/color. and mix in the p.s. grease your hands and counter top as you knead in the sugar. the reason some might have problems with this is because they don let it rest long enough. I always let my fondant rest overnight before i roll it out.

Thank you for all the help I will try these. I love working with fondant, but don't like it when it cracks, again THANK YOU!
