Oh My God! This has to be absolutely the best homemade fondant I have ever tasted. It takes on flavor very well, as well as color. The taste is amazing, hardens up well, and is not chewing like the store bought kind. And don't get me started on saying that this fondant has no "chemical taste" like the sore bought kind. But don't take my word for it. Try it out and share your experiences with this fondant. "I have never really liked the taste of store bought fondant. To me, it has a chemical after taste to it. And let me tell you, I am not the only one. If I could count the times I had clients say they wanted a cake, but not made with fondant, I would definitely has a piggy bank full of cash. Another reason I dislike the store bought fondant, is that it doesn’t set well in high temperature and humid areas. And adding tylose or CMC only made the fondant harder to work with in a shorter amount of time. I knew I had to come up with a recipe that not only tasted extremely good, but also could with stand high heat and humid air. My search for the perfect fondant was not an easy one. I went through a lot of trial and errors before I found the perfect combination. I have been able to turn those who preferred our buttercream over fondant, into devoted fondant cake clients. Go ahead and give it a try. This fondant is guaranteed to make any fondant disliking person to love it."
