So about 10:15 pm I was double checking the order for tomorrow's weddng cake, and just as I finished buttercreming the largest tier, I notice the order specifies "fondant."

Uh oh. I know I'm almost out. And it's 10:15 pm. Obviously the cake supplies store is closed.

Soooo . . . off to the 24 hour Walmart I go.

Let me sing the praises of Buttercream flavor SatinIce mixed 50/50 with Wilton fondant. You get the easy workability of the Wilton fondant and the good taste of SatinIce Buttercream flavor. No elephant skin, perfectly pliable.

Heck, I'm going to plan on doing this in the future!

Better sign up for emails from Michaels so you can use those 40% off coupons.

I have always wondered how that would work out... The consistency of Satin Ice drives me crazy but u get the taste... Wilton has the perfect consistency lets not go to how it tastes :S

Thanks Leah I will sure try it

You don't have to sign up for Michael's discounts. I just do a search on Yahoo and find a coupon whenever I need one. And you can print them as many times as you want.

Thanks so much for the tip, will definately try that!

Other members have also had success mixing Wilton and SI fondants together:

HTH

Do you think Wiltons will work with MMF?

Awesome, thanks. Looking forward to trying this.

I bought Duff Dark Brown Fondant.(I wasn't about to color a 1/2lb of fondant dark brown and didn't have time to order something else) And it was cracking like crazy. I mixed it with wilton and it was perfect.

Don't yah love it when things work out..I have heard that Wilton has improved the taste of their fondant dramitically in the last year...Good to hear!!

I have tried Wilton recently and the taste was decent. In the past when I bought it it had a dead vinegar/chemical smell to it. I recently bought a 5 lb box to use for decorations and it was ok.
