Just wondering if you guys have used either or both? Are they the same? Similar enough?

I was just going to add it to regular fondant & experiment w/ rolling thinner than regular fondant & taste too.

I asked Daniel at Caljava about the two. He said that they were both pretty much the same, both using white chocolate. I've used Sweet Inspirations and it is yummy, but very soft. I've also used Fondex and it is amazing. Kneading it is key to it's ease of use and you can combine it with the white chocolate fondants to give them more stability without messing up the taste. Hope this helps!

Personally, I think the taste of Fondex is far superior to Pettinice, although I have used that also. The thing about Fondex is that it is soooo user friendly. Again, kneading it with shortening on your hands is really important in order to get the smooth, elastic feel you want, but when handled right, it is amazing. I really found it less apt to crack at the edges, and repairs are very easy to fix.
If you like white chocolate, then Sweet Inspriations is really good, it's just very, very soft and not as sturdy as Fondex. Caljava suggests mixing them.

One other thing...when kneading fondant, any for that matter, it's best not to knead as you would bread by folding it into itself. That is how air bubbles get into the fondant. I was taught by Daniel to soften the fondant in my hands first (not too large of a piece). Then to roll it out like a long snake. Bring the ends together and with one hand roll away from yourself while rolling towards yourself with the other. It will roll into a nifty sort of rope with no bubbles. Repeat this adding shortening until it is a smooth and elastic. Seriously, no bubbles!

Chocopan and Sweet Inspiration is made by the same manufacturer. The Sweet Inspiration is supposed to be a somewhat firmer fondant, but they are very similar.

True. I found Sweet Inspriation to be pretty soft. I spoke with Kerry Vincent and she also advised combining it with the Fondex.

Thanks. I had planned on mixing the 2 or w/ Michele Foster's fondant.

What an interesting tip about rolling fondant.
