I tried rolled buttercream as per some of your suggestions and it worked very well and I've also done fondant in the past but I just had an "ah-ha" moment, what about Cream Cheese Fondant? I tried the recipe on here awhile ago for a cake and it was so tasty but hard to work with but I think for cookies, it might work but before I go off and waste a bunch of ingredients, I just wanted to know if anyone has already tried it and how it worked.

well....I'm off to try it. I'll let you know if it works out

I have not try it, but please let us know if you like it

I hadn't even heard of cream cheese fondant until just now..lol. Please let me know how it tastes and how easy/hard it is to make. I am curious now.....

It tastes great and pretty much looks and acts like Rolled buttercream on the cookie but it is a major PITA to work with because it is very soft and breaks very easily. Here is the recipe I used: http://cakecentral.com/recipes/7060/cream-cheese-base-fondant

I think that next time I'll try a cream cheese mmf recipe I saw on another site and see if that hold up better.

I'm trying out new icing techniques to open my horizons, so to speak, but I keep going back to glace for looks, ease of use and taste...

another possible issue...not sure if they will freeze because cream cheese does not freeze well at all. I have one in the freezer, 'll take it out and defrost it in the morning and re-update

hi, i found this recipe for cream cheese fondant. I am going to try this one. the one on c/c says it is really hard to work with. Also , i found on a site, can,t think of it now. they sell cream cheese flavoring . that would be really tasty also.

I've tried the LorAnn's cheesecake flavor and didn't care for it. What recipe did you come across?

i,m sorry, i thought i put the link. be right back.lol the link i am entering now is where i saw the cream cheese flavoring.
