Hi,

I am relatively new (made my first cake on March 10th 2007). I used MMF fondant and it was o.k. My first cake was a 2 tiered "box present" with a bow on it. It went o.k. but I struggled with rolling the MMF. It would retract as I would roll it out... so my husband and I got blisters rolling out enough to get it to a 1/8 inch thickness. Anyway my question is the following. Do "seasoned" cake decorators use the standard Fondant recipee with the glycerine, glucose and yeast ? or do they use MMF. It certainly is easier to make the MMF.

Your thoughts on this please.

Thanks a lot

Hello, im not exactly seasoned, being doing cakes for almost a year but i swear by the Wilton Rolled Fondant. I've heard too many horror stories about fondant mixing going wrong or not rolling out properly.
