Hi everyone
I am so excited I just made mmf for the first time ever. I usually purchase satin ice. Not any more I don't think. It is in it's resting period so not sure about how it actually is but i was so happy that it was so easy I used the how to under the article section. so easy. I just made sure that I greased everything that this substance was going to encounter this helped to reduce the sticking to everything. by the terture of it now I assume it is goinmg to be great. Now lets sum this up normally I pay $9 for a 2lb container of satin ice fondant and $8 for 2lb of satin ice gumpaste.
I am going to try gumpaste another time.
16 oz of marshmallow $1.50
2lb powder sugar $1.30
flavoring lets just say $0.05
shortining lets just say $0.02
Thats a total of $2.87 for 3lbs this to me is tremedous
THANK YOU TO ALL MY NEW FREINDS AT CC

That's great!
When you try gumpaste, use Nicholas Lodge's recipe. It's the best

used fondant and it works wonderfully I will probably never buy this again.
i'd never worked with gumpaste before so i tried nicholas lodge's recipe. i was spooked by the spongy texture at first but its quite sturdy and great to work with. my first attempt at roses looks pretty good if i do say so myself.
Making your own is good if you do not have a lot of orders but when you get several you may reconsider using Satin Ice still. I will do both it depends on the job. I use Michelle Foster also haven't tried that one.
here ya go:

i've heard that some have a problem with the "new" crisco because of the 0 trans fat but i used crisco and it was fine.
