I had My frist class tonight with fondant and the taste was my teacher talk about the Rolled BC icing is it like fondant and can you use it just like you would use fondant and also how does it taste?

I actully just made some on Sunday and some MMF to figure if it would be better for molds. The taste is great but it is way to soft to work like fondant. I would use the MMF recipe. It taste great too.

I have used the rolled bc several times. If you add a lot more sugar than recommended, you can use it like fondant. I don't think it would ever be as sturdy as fondant. It tears every easily. I have used it to make figures also.

I have been using the rolled buttercreme frosting at work to decorate shammrock cookies on a stick to sell in the cafe. It works great for something like that, but is so soft to use like fondant. I roll the buttercreme out and cut the same shape as the cookie, and lay it on the cookie and decorate from there (sugars, sprinkles or write on it with a different color buttercreme) and it works great!

Someone mentioned mixing the two together! Has anyone tried that! Curious how it works, but haven't had time to try it!

I have used the mmf and rolled buttercream together and I have to say that I love it. i will be using that from now on.... yummy and easy to use.

You can mix 50/50 or 75 mmf/50 RBC

Rolled buttercream is shiny looking because of the grease in it...You can mix it with fondant and it is easier to work with that way. I prefer straight fondant because of the matte finish. Not all fondant is nasty, just Wilton's!!

I've used the Rolled BC once & really liked it. Could you not add a bit of gum tex to it to make it harden more like fondant too?

I use rolled Bc all the time and mmf... Wilton's is nasty.....
I perfer the taste of rolled BC, but it is way harder to cover cakes with, for that I much rather use mmf.
