Fondx Samples Arrived Today
Decorating By prettysweet Updated 12 Jun 2007 , 7:30pm by Sugar_Plum_Fairy
I received 3 samples todayof Fondx Bright White, White ChocolateFondant Bright White and Chocolate. The sample size was about 2x2 in thin squares. The chocolate tasted like Toosie Roll and and both of the others had little to no flavor. Although both were labeled "Bright White" the white chocolate was much more off white. There was no price list or ordering info included. I guess no flavor is better than Wilton's terrible taste fondant, but I was hoping for a more positive experience.
I got my today to and am very happy with the tast of it. I think it is way better than wiltons. Hope to order so soonl. I got the same three as everyone else.
Ditto...also received mine in the mail today. Haven't tried them yet, but they did send me an information sheet and ordering directions.
I was wondering how did you guys sign up for these samples for the fondx.
Please let me know. I heard that this is very tasty

Just go on the website and send them an e-mail in the contact us section. In the comments section write, Please send me any samples you may have. Thank you.
That's all I did and they sent them within a week!
ANYTHING is better than the Wilton fondant! ![]()
I to love fondx, not only is the price fantastic, but it goes much farther than other brands that I have used. I have also have had lots of people comment on the fact that it didn't overpower the cake flavors and blended nicely. By the way dirt tastes better that wilton's fondant. I wish they would get on board and improve the flavor and the price. I just went to Cocoa Outlet's web site and clicked on contact us and there was directions on how to request puchacing info and request free samples.
I actually got an e-mail from them asking for my address. I left them a second request for samples the other day (Fri? Sat? Don't remember) since everyone was receiving theirs and I hadn't. They said they e-mailed me when they got the first request and that maybe it was deleted as spam if I have a spam blocker (which I do, but I still get spam constantly). Weird. Very weird especially because both times I submitted my address in the fields provided.
Oh well, hopefully I'll get my samples soon. So far I've tried Penttinice which I liked. And I recently purchased black and red Satin Ice, but haven't tried it yet. Can't wait to compare and contrast.
I got mine saturday and I wasn't inpressed with the taste, but I hate fondont. I also didn't have any ordering instructions or prices, I thought that was kinda strange.

Patricia, they might be out of the ordering instructions, etc. With so many of us CCers having converged on them all at once, they didn't stand a chance.![]()
You wouldn't believe it..I ordered my samples on Monday and they came today!!! 5 samples...
Fondx Bright White (absolutely love it!!!!)
Chocolate fondant ( dark chocolate tastes like tootsie rolls..love it)
White chocolate bright white..not bad.
White chco. rasberry..(not crazy about)
white chocolate caramel ( not bad)
All in all I will be ordering!! Very pleased with their timely response and I love the fondx!
I received an e-mail on Monday because they didn't have my address (even though I left it on the 'contact us page') then I received the samples on Thurs or Fri of this same week. I only got the three tiny ones though. The bright white, dark chocolate and white chocolate. Since I was running late for a deadline and in the middle of baking I put them to the side to try later which I will do later today.
Is it me or does this company just seem very arbitrary to how it handles sending out its samples?
I got a sample last week and a sample this week. I think they sent me your sample, Sugar Plum!
I didn't like the caramel either. I did like the Fondx because it didn't have much of a taste and might be good for cakes that already have a good flavor. The raspberry was sooo good!
I ordered mine on thursday and got an e mail from the on friday confirming mine were shipped and I received them today (monday) anyways I ended up getting .... one dark chocolate sample ... mmm! .. I also got a white chocolate raspberry ...mmm! .. I received one white chocolate in bright white, havent tried, and one white chocolate in original white .. havent tried .. I also got a fondx bright white which I have not tried and I also received a caramel flavor which I have not tried yet ... I did receive their pricing guide as well ... My samples were maybe 2X2 inside small ziplock bags ... I was pretty impressed overall! ![]()
I didn't get a pricing guide. Got an email that they were all out of catalogs and pricing guides. Would you mind sharing? I'm curious how it compares to Satin Ice.
Duh, nevermind. Finally found the prices on the website!
WOW those ribbons are beautiful. I did some checking and found that a 10# Fondx from cocoa outlet was $28.75. At cakedecostore.com it is only $24.75 for 10#. I don't know what shipping is at either.
Because they are in Hawaii, shipping is very expensive. I put a couple of items in my cart (nothing super heavy) and the shipping was at $21, so I decided to do some more searching first. On another site, the same items cost $8.95 to ship. The shipping cost would deter me from purchasing.
I would really like to know if more people prefer Satin Ice than Fondx. Is there another place to order Fondx from? Can we get samples of Satin Ice from anyone?
Thanks you guys..I love CC!
I really like the taste of both and I love how Satinice rolls out...I haven't covered any cakes with FondX...I only ate the samples they sent![]()
...LOL...I ate all of them last night when I was up till almost 1am!!!...lol.....its bad for me not to be able to sleep ![]()

OMG, that's freaking hilarious! I am sitting here craving something sweet but there's nothing sweet in the house...but I have all my FondX samples!
Thanks for the suggestion! LOLOLOLOL
Let's see...I got "White Chocolate Fondant Bright White," plain "Bright White," "Dark Chocolate Fondant," and an unlabeled light brown sample. It's kinda weirding me out a little that they're in ziplock bags...I hope these people washed their hands before handling the fondant.
I REALLY wanted the White Chocolate Raspberry!! ![]()
