What Are Your Thoughts On Satin Ice Fondant??

Loriemoms that's funny...I didn't think about it like that
I don't know about the freezer...but has a shelf life of roughly a year, if kept in an air-tight container.
Yeah I never heard of putting it in the freezer either. I go through my fondant too fast, but I did have a pail of pink satin ice sit around for quite a while! Probably a good six months. It was fine!
I did microwave it for a bit... My big issue was when smoothing it, it would get streaky and have lighter and darker areas. I didn't care for that at all. Probably just have to work with it more, but I don't have time to experiment these days. I do like the taste of Choco-pan.
Ick. I don't like Satin Ice (1) I don't like it's matte finish, makes the cake look too fake (I know... "Huh?"), (2) it dries too hard, (3) tastes like PlayDoh, (4) cracks easily...
I've gotten so used to making MMF under various conditions (heat, humidity...) that it's all I use any more. You can easily color it and flavor it. And it is inexpensive to make!
Thanks loriemoms! I'll give CK a try. Thanks again for sharing.
I have used the red a couple of times. I too find that it dries very quickly. When using it on a cake it also cracks on me. For flowers it is ok but it seems to be just as fragile as straight gumpaste. Maybe it's just me but I would rather use MMF for a cake and a mix of MMF and GP for flowers.
