So I finally switched to Satin Ice. Yay! It's tastes soo much better then Wilton but now I have a dilema.. My fondant cracks when I cover the cake which never happened with the Wilton. Should I use Satin Ice differently????

I've never had satin ice crack on me.

Can you give us more info? Or even a picture of what you are talking about?

How do you roll your fondant? If you roll your fondant on a greased plastic matt then flip it over on to the cake, the moister side of the fondant will be top up and may cure your problem.

I sometimes have the same problem and I think I have narrowed it down to the fact that it seems to do it when I use cornstarch instead of shortening to keep it from sticking. When I use shortening I dont seem to get the cracks. I think that is the difference for me anyway.. HTH

I used Satin Ice for a short time....just enough time to use up the 15lb bucket so not very long. I did encounter the cracking and I was using cornstarch so what I did to fix it was just knead it by hand instead of using my sheeter machine. The heat from my hands softened it up enough so that when I used the sheeter to roll it out and I then put it on my round and square cakes it was perfectly fine with no cracks.

Thanks for the great advice. I will have to keep away from the cornstarch.
