As we all know, fondant normally is not very tasty. What brand of fondant do you find is the tastiest???
I agree with Debbye27, MMF is definately the best. I have used it for years and my customers love it. I get a lot of people that order cakes and will request to not have fondant because they have only had the store bought kind and they dont like it. I tell them mine is homemade and it taste like a really sweet marshmallow and they will agree to go with it almost every time, and I've gotten several comments about how much better it is than anything they have had before. Not to mention it is way cheaper!
I've been wondering about this, too. I've only used homemade fondant so far. It seems to work okay, but I can't compare it with anything else. It is also really time consuming. Are there any store bought brands you prefer?
Hi -
I use Carma - - but it is ridiculously expensive tho the taste is wonderful. I think you can get it online although I got it from my wholesaler.
Michelle Fosters Updated Fondant recipe can be found here on cake central. It's awesome! Tastes great and is easy to make! No marshmallows required!
Several variations can be found in her book, The Sugar Fix.
I used to make MMF all the time. I liked the taste, but sometimes got in-consistent results from batch to batch - how firm, stretchiness, etc. I switched to MFF 18 months ago and love it! Totally made from scratch, including yummy ingredients like heavy cream and butter. It tastes the best of all the purchased and/or homemade fondants that I've tried - WAY better. And I get very consistent results batch-to-batch. I whip up two batches at a time, sometimes three. (In sequence, not doubling or triping the batch.... that would kill my mixer!)

Im wondering what MFF stands for? Ive never heard of it?

Marshmallow fondant.
MMF=marshmallow fondant
MFF=Michelle Fosters Fondant
Fosters fondant is soooo much better than marshmallow fondant. Less messy to make, less sweet and feels like the Fondx brand that I used to make. Far superior in my opinion.
With regards to Michelle Foster's Fondant recipe, there are two updated versions, one from March 2009, one from April 2009. The recipes are slightly different. Can anyone tell me the correct one or which one is easier to use? One calls for 2 tbs of glycerine, the other, 3.
Thanks!!
I also have a question about Michelle Foster's Fondant: what kind of measurements are used there: 1 cup of milk - how many dl. or grams is it? one pack of gelatin - how many grams? Will appreciate a lot if someone helps me. I can't figure our the correct proportions myself.
Norgenata you can google conversion calculators for any form of measurement you need....here's one I've used

Satin ice is super delicious, wilton on the other hand is not. Satin ice melts in your mouth.
Duff's fondant is actually not bad tasting. The first time I ever worked with fondant, I used that brand. Then I started making my own MMF and love it! I sometimes get inconsistent results as well, so I might try MFF.
I used Fondx once because I needed black and can never get my fondant proper black. I hated it...had a hard time working with it (though I'm still a novice, so I'm sure professionals have no issues with it) and thought the taste was disgusting!
We used to make our own, either MMF or MFF, and while we like them, we switched to Fondarific when we opened our storefront because we just don't have time to make all the fondant we need. We love Fondarific! It's tastes amazing, easy to work and color, and it's really not bad price wise. You can get wholesale prices on it if you have an FEIN.
ladij153, Thanks you very very much! Didn't know it's possible to calculate even "cup" The only thing left: a pack gelatin - how many grams is in it (as it is very impotent not to use too much or to little of it, isn't it..)?
how many ounces are in a pkg of gelatin? convert ounces to grams....or vice versa? May need to take the ounces in the whole box of gelatin and divide by number of packets in the box if you're using the unflavored kind like KNOX brand.

I live in Norway and use our local brand. Our pack has 12 grams. I was wondering about the weight of gelatin pack in Michelle Foster's Fondant recipe and what kind og brand she is using. But now I can search on KNOX brand that you have mensioned Than you,ladij153 for you help!

Thanks! Have to look into it!
I started out making my own fondant...MMF then MFF, but honestly agree that I just don't have enough time to make my own fondant (not to mention the fact that I too had inconsistent results with both fondants).
I also use Fondariffic. I think it tastes good, and works well. They now offer Almond flavor which is fantastic.
Wow! Thank you to everyone for sharing the recipes you like and your favorite brands of fondant. I'm going to check them out.
