And it aint half bad!
I keep reading about how people peel it off the cake....Why?!
I am no where near artistic enough to dive into the world of fondant, but i had a birthday cake ordered from another homebaker. She makes the fondant herself. Yeah it was sweet, but get enough cake on your fork along with the fondant and no worries!
I didnt eat all my fondant but I had most of it! So my verdict, pretty darn good!!! 
I don't mind the taste of fondant (Satin Ice is pretty good actually). What sets me off is the texture, but I'm a big texture person for all foods.
I think so a lot of people its the texture that they done like. I guess you expect soft icing on your cake and when you get something firmer its a little off putting. I done mind fondant cake either. The wilton fondant on the other hand is gross! Its all about what stuff you use. Glad you enjoyed it!

I did a cake for my grandparent's 60th anniversary. Buttercream with MFF "Duff" roses around it. I didn't do an all fondant cake because my husband was convinced the people at the party wouldn't "get" fondant. (I think mostly because he doesn't get it, but I digress....) Do you know that my grandfather saved all the roses and leaves I had to strip off to cut the cake, put them in a bowl, and a few days later was still munching on them like candy? I was totally shocked.
Grandma later asked me why I didn't cover the whole cake with this wonderful stuff like they do on TV. She had seen my other cakes and knew I could do it. She loved the cake I did, but she's in love with MFF. Who knew?!

My mom is like that. I put butter rum flavoring in my MMF and she nibbles on it whenever she comes over.
My sister's hubby-to-be is the pickiest eater in the world, hardly likes anything. So you can imagine the surprise when he not only liked a cake that I made, but LOVED the fondant. lol
LOL
wow.
I think the lady did do spreadable ganache under the fondant. True the texture isnt what you expect on a cake, but hey it sure makes a gorgeous cake!
