I had a question for you...have you ever tried using fondant for your cakes (either as an accent or covering the whole thing, etc.)? I was just curious! =;)

Blessings in Christ!

Yes, Rachel, I have "Tried" using fondant--twice. The first time, I made the basic fondant recipe from the Wilton book... It took a lot of time and, when I finally got it on the cake, it looked like leather! It had wrinkles in it that I couldn't get out and, well, I was not impressed. Thankfully that was just an experimental cake and my family didn't really mind how it looked. :)

My 2nd attempt turned out a lot better... My neighbor friend shared a recipe with me for Marshmallow Fondant (you can find the recipe by just searching Google for it--http://www.cakejournal.com/archives/how-to-make-marshmallow-fondant has one with pictures...). That turned out a lot better, as the fondant was much more pliable AND tasty! I think I used that recipe to cover a whole cake. Anyway, I'd recommend the MMF over the other kind any day, if you want to give it a try!!!--Or have you tried some kinds before?
