where can i buy satin ice fondant without paying shipping??...i need 20 lbs

you'll have to look for a local supply store in your area... google it (bakery/cake supply store with your zip) I get 20 lbs for $42

Cake dazzle, are you kidding me? $42? Wow. I had to get mines for $70 including shipping. I need to go where you shop hehe.

i know!! I love it!! I get it from twin bakery supply... they sell flour, sugar, filling selves... etc... nice and cheap!! (well i get everything besides satin ice cheaper at my local food store!!)

http://www.doitwithicing.com/ They are near you and probably carry it, or can order it for you.

That is why I make my own Fondant

Cheap and no shipping charge.

There is no place near me to buy any cake supplies other than Wilton, and their fondant is GROSS!

Cakedazzle, I am speechless. My jaw dropped.

Jaime, if I wasn't lazy, I'd probably start making my own. =]

My fiance lives in San Diego. There is also this place in Temecula and Norco called Pilas Pantry. Their Satin Ice I believe is priced in the higher side but they do sell other brands of fondant.

Try www.****************** I'm not sure how much shipping would be to CA but their 201bs white Satin Ice is $45.99. Plus they give 10% off to CC members. Just put "cakecentral" (not the quotes) into the coupon code. Total would be $41.39 for the 20 1bs plus S&H. Sometimes their website says they don't have it in stock but I would call and check with them anyway. They will let you know if it's on order or will try and order it for you. They have great customer service. They also have other brands of fondant as well.

I make my own MMF, but do order my dark colors. The best price I have found for Satin Ice is from www.******************

You do pay for shipping, but all in all it is still a bargain since you don't pay tax.

JaimeAnn..i was wondering what recipe do you use for your homemade fondant.?..and do you know if by steaming it, it will get shiny??..

I usually make MMF this recipe..


16 oz White mini marshmallows (not jetpuffed ! I use store brand)
2 Tbsp Water
2 pounds Powdered sugar
1 tsp clear vanilla
1 tsp butter flavoring
1 tsp almond flavoring
1/2 C vegetable shortening (for the kneading step only)

In a large bowl, melt marshmallows and 2 Tbsp water in microwave for about 1 minute, stir in flavorings and return to the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until mixture is completely melted. Add about 3/4 of the amount of powdered sugar to the marshmallow and mix in. Dough will be stiff.

After fondant has cooled just a bit and is safe to handle, grease prep surface ( I use vinyl) with vegetable shortening, also grease your hands.

Knead fondant, adding in the rest of the powdered sugar (you may not use all of it) until a smooth elastic ball is formed. You may have to add more powdered sugar if dough is too soft. Add more water (a tablespoon at a time) if it is too dry and tearing, add more shortening if too sticky.



And Yes steaming it will make it shiny !

Oh Jamie, trust me, try MFF one time, you'll never go back to MMF. It is truly decadent. The extra steps are worth it. I promise!

What kind of taste difference is there b/w MMF and MFF?

Ok , you talked me into it .. I am making up some samples this weekend for my friends wedding . I will be doing the cake and 200 individually wrapped NFSC cookies and I wanted to see if using fondant on the cookies instead of RI might save me some time , and maybe taste better too.

I am going to give it a go!

Quick question for Jamie & Xstitcher..

Do you use the recipe that calls for 2 T gelatin or the one that uses 3 T ?

And do you use milk or cream?


TIA

Hi JaimeAnn,

Use this recipe:

http://www.cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-7446-1-Michele-Fosters-Fondant.html

I used milk for mine as that is what I had on hand.

Here's are a couple of posts by sugarflowers (aka Michele Foster) that you might want to read, in it she says to use the above posted link for the recipe, and FAQ's:

http://cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopict-625727-michele.html+foster+fondant

And trust me, it's actually easier than it looks. It's just a couple more ingredients that's all. I also let my KA do most of my work for me


ETA:

I had actually used this recipe as it was there before Michele had uploaded the recipe herself:

Thanks Xstitcher!

Dazzle that is a great price!!! I see you live in Buffalo, I'm much more south NY on Long Island and my local supply store sells it for 60 something dollars.

OK, my MMF is hard.... every time, will MFF be better? Ive tried less sugar, less CS, more CS....ugh Cant get it to feel like store bought...??? Does it ever?

I dunno about MMF. I only made it a few times, got sick of the stretchiness and the sickly sweet taste. MFF is pretty perfect. Not stretchy, and has a sweet sort of neutral taste. No chemically taste at all.

My mom has become my MMF maker I told her we got a new recipe, just when she FINALLY memorized the MMF I use Look forward to trying MFF out this weekend.
