So many cakes use fondant now. It has such a smooth nice finished look to it. My problem with it is that is doesn't taste very good. Does anyone have any tips or special recipes to make it taste better? I haven't used it very much simply for this reason. Please help!
ANYTHING tastes better than Wiltons! LOL
Really, try some other brands... I love the Mill Lane brand from www.creativecutters.com ... their white is a bit sweet (but not nearly as sweet as MMF) and their chocolate tastes like an upscale tootsie roll (YUMMY!)
Many here use SatinIce and are quite happy with it, though I found it to be a bit "spongy" compared to the Mill Lane... just my opinion though!
You can make your own fondant or MMF, they take about the same amount of work & time, and the fondant is actually very slightly cheaper to make from scratch!
Satin Ice has my vote! I think it has a silky smooth refined taste. If I just want to mold something or make embellishments, I will use the MMF because it is a lot less expensive. The MMF is a little too sweet in my opinion.
What is MMF? And does anyone have any good recipes for fondant? I do prefer to make my own.

Its Marshmallow fondant. There is a recipe listed here under "Recipes."
I like MMF plus regular fondant when I add almond extract to it. To me it makes a huge difference in taste.
I think some people are more turned off about the pasty texture than the taste itself.
