I am a begginer @ cake decorating- making cakes for family birthdays, and occasions. I have never used fondant because: I bought some pre-made fondant. I opened it up, and it smelled aweful. Also, does it really taste good? What is marshmallow fondant. (MMF) I know it can get really smooth and nice, if I ever do use it, do I need to buy all the expensive tools? I am also intersted in Gumpaste. I have heard it gets really hard and you can't eat it, is that true? And, does it taste good? I know I asked a lot of questions, sorry! I would appreciate any advice. Thanks! 
Hi rkei, welcome. I am not sure what kind of fondant you purchased, I know wilton fondant used to be pretty nasty but I have heard that it is not bad now, just a very sweet taste. I make mmf, if you click on the recipe tab at the top of the page, there is a recipe for mmf. It taste ok, very sweet. HTH

If you're looking for fondant with taste, then check out Fondarific...They have vanilla, buttercream, and chocolate in 5 & 10 lb tubs and then in 2 lb tubs they have various fruit flavors, a coffee-flavor, and at Christmas time, a peppermint flavor.

Satin Ice fondant is pretty good too. I haven't tried Fondarific yet, but the coffee-flavor sounds delish.
