I did search for some answers to this I swear but didn't come up with any
Most of the time people on here talk about SI or Fondarific but rarely Choco-pan that I have seen. I haven't bee thrilled with SI and Fondarific is great but reaallllllly soft and more expensive for me.
Choco-pan is mid range price wise and the purple I have tastes amazing. I have yet to work with it though - Im trying it this weekend.
Do people like it? Any issues you guys find with it? Thanks. I'm trying to find the perfect fondant to use on a friend's wedding cake.
Personally, I'm not a Choco-pan fan. I find it is often too sticky for me to use. Sometimes you really have to use a ton of PS to work with it. It also tends to do even worse in high heat for me than SI does. Just my 2c.

Hmm okay good to know. We don't have super high heat but ...
I've found Choco-pan to be much softer and stickier than Fondarific/Duff's Fondant........................very prone to fingerprints, dents, etc.

Tastes great but yes it can be difficult to work with. It seems this product melts/breaks down easier especially in warmer or humid weather. Using it in cooler weather is preferred.
Hmm okay. Tastes good but softer and stickier than Fondarific. Not what I want then.
I'm guessing this is why people like SI then? Not as soft and sticky. Argh decisions, decisions!
I do like SI. I can honestly say that it's never given me a problem--knock wood.
I did have a bucket that seemed too soft once and I mixed 1/3 Wilton with 2/3 SI and I had a marvelous product--worked beautifully and tasted great. So, if I ever need to stiffen SI up, I do this.
HTH

It does help a lot Rae thanks My friend has asked me to do her cake and while she knows I'm not a professional (nor do I claim to be) I don't want her cake to look like poop! I much prefer to work in buttercream but she's adamant she wants fondant which is why I'm on a hunt for the perfect one for me.
I've been trying all kinds of them over the summer just to get a feel for which ones I like best. I think SI is going to give me the look we're after though since it seems to dry a little more than Fondarific. I find it always seems to stay tacky.
