I need a good tasting fondant that can be used to form decorations as well. Thanks icon_biggrin.gificon_smile.gif

Up until this weekend, I'd been using MMF for fondant, both covering and to make decorations - it was fine. Then for my daughter's cake this past weekend I made the rolled fondant recipe from Wilton, and I have to say that I preferred it. It was easier to work with, cheaper to make (for me, marshmallows are expensive here), stayed soft but firm on the buttercream and smoothed beautifully - no cracks like I sometimes get with MMF. I do kneed a bit of gum trag into fondant I'm going to use for modelling, makes it stronger and it dries harder. Hope that helps! I flavoured it with vanilla because I had 3 different flavoured tiers and wanted something neutral that would work for all of them - but you can use any flavouring you like!
