I had to make a spongebob cake today. I decide to try Fondx Elite yellow. I ordered and it was shipped by UPS. It had gotten so hot in the back of the big brown truck it was almost goo went it got here. I just let it sit at room temperature for the past week. I covered spongebob in minutes. The seam just literally melted right together, it looked like I had just slipped a cover over it. It was amazing. I have never worked with a fondant that awesome before. I'm a true fan now!
I have never seen fondant work that well, the seam on the side literally healed and formed one solid piece. Amazed in an understatement
I love working with it! Check out this sale on 2lb buckets, they are reg. $15.99 on sale for $5.00! http://www.caljavaonline.com/sale1.htm The sale ends 8/16 and the shipping is very reasonable.
I've not used the elite stuff, but the regular fondx is pretty good. Love it!
I just got a tub of this for winning best in division in a cake competition and can't wait to try it. Now I just need someone to order a cake that makes it work opening a 10 pound tub of it for...
I'm also a HUGE fan of Fondx.
Two years ago, I used Satin Ice to cover my son's wedding cake, all 9 tiers, and after about an hour or so I started seeing these huge craters on the top edges of the cakes - It was like the Grand Canyon on every one them.
I went back to the cake supply store with every intention of getting some more SI thinking that I had purchased a bad batch. But when I saw the Fondx I decided to give it a try instead. I was so happy that I did. It rolled out beautifully, and I didn't need to use PS or shortening because it didn't stick to the mat like SI does. And, it was such a breeze to cover the cakes - even the big 16 inch cake.
In my area Fondx cost a little more than SI, but it is well worth it.
LOVE FONDX!! I bought over 50lbs at convention this year to save on shipping!
Caljava ships free if you meet their minimum order (around $300, I think). I always buy in bulk and stock up so I get it shipped free and I buy when it's on sale for double the savings.

Thank you so much for sharing this information....just ordered a bunch to beat the sale deadline of 8/16!
Well, 30 hours later my cake looked just as awesome as when I covered it with the fondx I never have intentions of using anything else if I have fondx. Oh and the attaching details of other fondant was super easy a touch of water was like super glue no sliding around. I covered a large spongebob made of RCT and it was so smooth> Im still amazed if you cant tell.
So glad I read this forum tonight!
Don't freak out if you want to check shipping and it's expensive for one tub.
I just ordered 7 tubs, and the shipping was $10.97-the same amount as for one tub. ![]()
