Unfortunately that is the way Sugarcraft is. Personally I will never buy anything from them. Here is a thread where someone else had the same thing happen to them.

what brand fondant was it?? The taste will vary incredibly from brand to brand. I have tried two American fondants, one being Wilton (exactly like biting into a wax candle) and FondX from caljava, which is absolutely beautiful and i just adore it!!

The brand is Pettinice....the consistency i nice and it is easy to work with but the taste is just awful...I thik this will be the last fondant i order, i think i will start making MMF...Ive heard ppl say that it tastes good, so i tihnk thats what i will use...and that Sugarcraft thing makes me really mad!! and the shipping IS outrageous, oh well, they wont get my business again,...there is a lady i know that is going to give me her wilton caddy full of stuff..she was gonna take the classes hbut never got around to it and i have offered her money for it but she wont take it and i think im going to get it today, so i told her if she needs a cake, i'll hook her up lol thanx guys <3

If you're going to be making the fondant specifically to make roses, then i would suggest that you make them with gumpaste. It's much better for roses and any type of flowers, You can get much thinner petals, and it has a much more elastic consitency.

well i plan to cover some cakes with fondant, how does gumpaste taste??...becasue when i decorate a cake i want everything to taste and look good

No one really eats gumpaste flowers, i can't say that i've ever tried one, they're too pretty to eat ; )
Nati
PS: Never tried MMF either, so can't judge on that one ; )
ohhhh....ok....srry im pretty new to this whole thing lol...kinda confusing lol <3
Gumpaste flowers will dry hard, so you really wouldn't eat them. I haven't tried the Pettinice fondant, but you may be able to add some extract to it to enhance the flavor a bit. I'm a MMF fan myself. There was a question about how much fondant to use on a cake last night, give me a sec and I'll pull it up for you.
This link will lead you to what Wilton suggests for amounts of fondant to use per cake. Just have a little extra on hand, just in case.
