I like the taste and cost factor of MMF. MMF is significantly cheaper than Satin Ice by the time I add the shipping to the price. I haven't found a single store in Columbus who sells it. I use Addendum to Rhonda's MMF. It works great for me. Never had a recipe not work. Plus I can stir the color into the liquid part of the MMF without having to knead large batches.
I like MMF. I like the feel and taste of it. It's easy to work with and I get great results every time.
This is the recipe that I use http://whatscookingamerica.net/PegW/Fondant.htm
and I flavor it with Adams powdered flavors or Lorann oil.
If you have a Kitchenaid mixer, making MMF is really easy.
I have never tried Satin Ice. I would have to order it from somewhere, and one of the things I like best about MMF is that the ingredients come from any grocery store, which means I can go get them somewhere in the middle of the night if I need to.
Are you looking to cover the cakes w/ MMF/Satin Ice? I personally don't like the flavor of MMF. Instead I make rolled buttercream. It works just like MMF when it comes to covering a cake and it tastes so much better...in my opinion. But if you're looking to buy instead of make it yourself I've heard rave reviews about Satin Ice.
For me, there is no advantage to using mmf.
Satin Ice does cost more initially than mmf, but when you factor in the value of your time, I think Satin Ice actually comes out ahead in costs. The cost of the Satin Ice is factored into what I charge for the cake, so it really doesn't cost me anymore to use it than anything else.
It takes seconds to order to order a bucket of Satin Ice. For the amount of fondant I'd need to cover a large, tiered cake, it would take me hours to get enough mmf made...never mind the pia factor!

What is rolled buttercream?
I've noticed that a lot of people make figures out of MMF - is it easier to use than gumpaste? I have trouble with gumpaste flattening out when it sits to dry.
Before applying rbc to cake be sure to apply a crumb coat or glaze first. I don't usually make decorations w/ it. I prefer to us BC. It's just as easy as fondant, but I think it tastes much better...at least compared to the fondant recipes I've made.
