Hi all,
I've got a baby shower cake for tomorrow. They requested a banana cake with chocolate glaze decorated with baby blue chocolate buttons. I think it's too plain and might add a bow to the top and some little booties on the base. I don't have any fondant, and I hate the taste of the Wilton stuff. However, do you think it would be ok for just the bow? If the taste of that stuff will transfer to the glaze, forget it.
Any thoughts?
Well, chances are good that no one is going to try and eat the bow so I say do it! I doubt the taste will transfer. I've used it for accents before without complaint.
I use Wilton fondant on all of my dummies because it's cheap and consistent, but would never expect anyone to eat it!
I use a lot of wilton fondant, because I took the wilton course, and that is the only fondant I knew about, until this site. I usually put a little flavoring in it and it tastes pretty good. HTH
No way no how can anyone on earth possibly believe it tastes good, no matter how you doctor it. It's just not possible. That stuff serves it's purpose...but it ain't for eating! Give some of the recipes for fondant a try sometime, you will never ever eat another bite of Wilton. 
Thanks everyone! I picked up some Wilton at lunch and made the bow last night. It turned out great! My daughter came in and saw fondant scraps and said, "Ooooh, can I eat a bite?" I said, "You don't want that." She replied, "Ew! Is that the nasty fondant? I thought it was yours!" Even kids don't like the taste of that stuff! But again, it did make a pretty bow. 
Since I just started in the cake decorating fun, I have only used Wiltons fondant. Served it's purpose for making bows, and dots.
I've just purchase my first tubs (2#'s each) of Satin Ice. I didn't want to make red or black, so I bought them. Can't wait to taste to see the difference everyone talks about!! I'm making my Grandsons' Spiderman/Superman/Batman cake next week.
Wish me luck!!
I use Wilton for bows and stuff all the time. For texture and workability it's great. I wouldn't advise that anyone with tastebuds eat it, however. I always use Satin Ice for covering cakes, and I will use it for bows if I have some on hand. I have used some other cheaper brands for bows and found them very gummy and impossible to shape.
Thanks guys but like I said That was the only fondant, I was introduced to by my wilton Instructor, but I was also told by the owner of the store that the wilton Instructor's can only Encourage you to buy Wilton Products, but I just ordered some chocopan from the store. and I do live in a small Town, not that many bakers that is why I am trying to get licensed.
