Hello! 

I am kind of in a bind.  Planning on making a last minute cake for a friend's birthday this weekend.  I normally buy Tylina Sweetshop fondant (my son liked the taste so I stuck with it using coupons for Michaels), however, Michaels doesn't seem to have it in stock at any stores locally.  I was going to try to buy Satin ice on Amazon because I have heard that is so popular, but I live in a surrounding area of where Hurricane Florence hit and Amazon cannot guarantee delivery until next week, even for prime confused

I don't want to use Wilton, my son didn't like that, and I trust if a 7 year old won't eat it.  I really don't have time or patience to make my own, it has always come out too soft and I will be short on time.  Another option is to maybe try Hobby Lobby's brand Sunnyside Up brand, that is readily available in my area.  

Has anyone worked with this fondant?  I was reading that perhaps it is similar to Satin Ice.  How did it fare?  

Thank you!

I will! I just bought some and will have my son taste it. If it doesn’t work out- I can save it for decorations or something rather than covering the whole cake.

If he doesn't like it, try kneading in some more flavoring - vanilla, almond, cherry - whatever.  I don't like any fondant except Satin Ice Chocolate, which tastes like Tootsie Rolls.

I haven't tried it either so I'm curious to hear how it turns out. Of course I've never tried Satin Ice either, which I want to do now (particularly the chocolate)

Hey there! I wanted to provide an update on the quality of the fondant. Taste wise my son really liked it. Even my husband said it was good. 

Now I am just a hobby cake decorator randomly  gifting for birthdays (mostly my kids) so I am no expert. But when it came to working with the fondant- it seemed to either dry out super quick- or I am very slow lol. I have never experienced that “elephant skin” but this did happen. It helped to knead shortening in the fondant before rolling but the end product does still have a few spots of the elephant skin. Also when I was trying to make the decorations- I had to work really really quickly. Since I do not do this all the time- it may be common but it was a first for me. Now the birthday party is tonight so I hope everyone likes it. Here is a picture of the final product!  Have a nice weekend!
