I will be doing my first wedding cake and my friend wants it covered with fondant, I have only ever made and used marshmellow fondant on the my past cakes. What is the best brand to use? In taste and quality.

Some people use Satin Ice and like it. I personally hate it.

How about you use Choco pan?

I use Satin Ice to cover all my cakes. I love working with it, and have always had compliments on the taste. It comes in great pre-coloured hues as well as white and ivory.

Thanks, I think that I am going to try Choco Pan for the cake. I am going to do a trial cake before the wedding to make sure I like how the Choco Pan looks.

There is also Fondx. It tastes good and it is good to work with. It just a little bit more pricier than satin ice.

You could always make your own (so much cheaper) that's not made from marshmallows. I made my first batch yesterday and it was so easy and so, so cheap. Just a thought!

I make a semi-homemade white chocolate fondant that is wonderful! NEVER any elephant skin cracks... performs like a dream. You can roll it super thin and it tastes great!

EMCM and Jennifer, what recipes do you use?

ThisNameInUse, I've PM'd you my recipe

Just got it!~

Thanks!

u can also always try Michelle Foster's fondant recipe. u can find it under "recipes" on this website.

i think it's a pretty yummy homemade alternative to MMF.

I just used jennifermi's chocolate fondant Sunday and it was a dream to work with I liked it much better then satin ice and it was easier to work with then chocopan. Can't wait to see how my DH boss like the taste.

Hi Jen,

Your recipe sounds good! Could you PM it to me, also?

Always looking for something tried and true!!

Thanks,

Aaran

I ONLY use choco-pan. I know some people have said they find it hard to work with, but I love it and can't imagine using anything else. it is a bit too soft for figures, but I usually us modeling choc. for them anyway. Their customer service is AWESOME, and I can almost always order and the UPS man is knocking on my door two days later!

I have an outdoor summer wedding coming up in two weeks. I normally work with MMF, but the last time I used it everything went wrong. I think the humidity had a lot to do with it. Elephant cracks is a perfect way to describe the issues. Anyway the wedding is outside and it could be hot and humid. I'm planning on using mousseline buttercream on the inside because it can stand up to heat, but what should I use for the fondant. I don't want to order. I want to make my own and I would like to have it taste good as well. I also want something stable that won't melt in heat or humidity. Any suggestions would be so helpful.

Her recipe is on her DVDs.

I've used Satin Ice, Michele Foster. Toba Garrett, and Sophiebelles, but didn't like the taste enough to keep making them. I like the taste of Chocopan, but it is much softer than others. The only one I like at this point is the Fondarific Butter cream and chocolate fondant. Yummy!!! I have really wanted to have a yummy white chocolate fondant recipe, but haven't had much luck.

I would love to have a white chocolate fondant recipe also That sounds wonderful!

I too would love to have the recipe for the white chocolate fondant. I make the mmf but it can be great one time and a big disaster the next. Thanks !

Has anyone tried Pettinice fondant? I buy it from my local bakers supply store and love it. Tastes just like a marshmallow. I agree with everyone else though.....I would LOVE to try a white chocolate fondant. Sounds so yummy.

I use MFF recipe and add melted white chocolate to the mix before I add my PS. It tastes awesome and I have never had a problem with the consistency being too soft.

AJen would you share your recipe with me the white chocolate fondant thank you

AI've got a kids cake to make what kind of fondant does anyone recommend I'd love to make it and save a little money I've tried marshmallow fondant and I didn't care for it . Please help thanks

AIf you have read my previous posts, you're seen me rave about fondarific. I do really like it. It's easy to work with. The trouble is that what makes it so easy is also what makes it so hard. Fondarific is very stretchy and easily smooth. That's great for covering but bad for cut outs.

Last week, I tried 5 lbs of Pettenice & 1 lb of chocopan. One of my mentors uses that combo. Wow! OMG!! Sold'. Converted. Trouble is chocopan is a fortune & I still have a lot of Fondarific. No problem! Switched Fondarific for chocopan with almost same exact results. Converted & never going back.

The o ly downside is petinice only comes white & ivory. Thank goodness fondarific comes in so many shades.
