What kind of fondant do think is the easiest to use for covering a large cake, including Michele Foster's and Satin Ice. Any idea? Thank you so much for your input.
mmf is also very good, what size cake r u covering? i covered a 12" above that was a 10" and above that was 8"
I am covering a 18" round and a 18x24" rectangle. I have used MMF also, but prefer Michelle Foster's I think. Open to suggestions though. I like the taste of the homemade fondants better than Satin Ice MMF and Michelle Foster's both taste better I think, but I know a lot of people use Satin Ice and it is the only commercial one I have access to besides Duff's and Wilton and they are expensive and the old Wilton tastes horrible.
I used to swear by Satin Ice until I came across this...super-easy to work with, hasn't failed me yet, and FAR cheaper:

(Replace the vanilla & lemon extracts with either Princess or Buttery Sweet Dough emulsion...delicious!)
Definitely MFF with white chocolate added. I think chocolate makes the fondant stronger and easier to work with. The largest cake I've covered was a 15" round that was 3- 2" layers. With the filling added the cake ended up being 7" tall. I didn't have any problems covering it. HTH
bchumley, what is princess or buttery sweet dough? please
They are baking emulsions made by Lorann's. Hobby Lobby sells them. You can also order them on line.

They're an alternative to extracts...great flavor blends. The ones I use are Loranns...Hobby Lobby stocks them in 4oz bottles for about $5.
