I don't know if this question has been asked but does anyone else have frustration with Satin Ice's black fondant? I love the consistency it has, easy to work with etc....BUT when I use it to cut out shapes and it starts to dry, the shapes end up with the "elephant skin". I apply shorting to the piece afterwards - but I wouldn't think to add the shorting prior because the fondant is so moist to being with. Does any one else share my frustration or it is just my craziness?

I have found that I have to knead it a lot to get it more elastic and friendly. Then I keep any extra I'm not using in a plastic bag.

It does dry out fast, so it's not just you. If you keep the pieces covered (I like to put them in a zipper top bag) until you need them they will not dry out and get all wrinkly.

I love Duff's black fondant for decos. It taste good and it is very workable.

wiltons box of black fondant is surprisinly really good.. its nice and true black, tastes pretty good and handles lovely. might want to give it a try.

I have the same problem with satin ice black fondant...im glad im not the only one. Im going to try another brand and hope for the best
