I made MMF for the first time this week. It certainly is much better than Wilton's. I made 3 recipes in 2 shades of pink and white. The pinks were great but the white had a different texture and it was more difficult to work with. Since I was just using it for decorations on a buttercream cake I was able to complete the project. If I had planned to cover the entire cake with the white MMF I don't think I would have been able to roll it out that thinly. Same recipe,,,same conditions...very different results. What did I do wrong?

It depends on a couple of things. What did you use to color the pinks? If you used dry color, the white was more wet. If you used liquid or gel color, it was more dry. also, you probably kneaded the colored fondant a bit more.

Kneading a little crisco into fondant makes it much more pliable.
