Thanks to everyone who has posted anything on mmf! I was looking for some new ideas since I have 4 birthdays next week in the family that I am doing cakes for. I found the mmf recipe and lots of advice and decided to try it tonight. It was soooo easy to use! 
I even tried making roses with it, and the petals were so lifelike. I did try going too thin, so the petals smashed when I set them down to dry, but that was my own mistake. We tried the cake (first ever fondant cake for me) after supper and it was a hit.
A couple questions:
Does the mmf stay chewy for long? We ate it two hours after it was made, so it was still fresh.
How do you make flowers so they don't lose shape when set down? They were gorgeous, but didn't hold shape. I tried them thicker, but it didnt have the same look.
Does anyone know why in the world my husband will only eat the violet fondant? He swears it tastes better than the blue and copper. (I kneaded in gel coloring - the marbled effect worked great for flowers, and it gets solid coloring easily too. This stuff is awesome!)
oh, I have a mmf question. Can the cake be refrigerated after the mmf is on it? I thought I read somewhere that a cake covered in mmf shouldn't be refrigerated.
I have read that too, but I often refrigerate mine and I have had no problems. Keeping it out in a house filled with boys just isn't practical.
i just got done with my first fondant cake ever also, using MMF of course i love the stuff! it was so easy to make (besides my using too small a bowl to microwave the marshmallows in...long story. hehe). and it tastes great! my boyfriend even thought it was yummy, and he's the fussiest eater 
Zmama, When I am making MMF flowers I use "fixed" fondant. That is MMF with a little fixodent in it. Sounds weird I know but it works like a charm! You can look at my pics. The white roses on the white cake are fixed roses.
