I am fairly new to cake decorating, and have a few questions about fondant. When I used premade (Wilton), it tore easily and tasted awful. I have read wonderful things about marshmallow fondant but also many complaints that it is too soft and doesn't cover well. I have also been considering Satin Ice but am hesitant to pay that much while I am still learning. In your experience, which types of fondant works best over all? Any to avoid? I have learned SO MUCH from this site, and all of you, and thanks in advance for any tips or advice!

I use Fondex. You can get it online from caljava. It is amazing to work with and tastes wonderful. They also make Sweet Inspiration white chocolate pendant that is quite yummy.

Thank You! I have never heard of fondex, but will definitely check into it. Has anyone had success with home-made fondant?
