Has anyone tried to flavor Wilton fondant with a lemon or almond extract to get rid of that horrid taste? Please let me know your experice with that.

Best,

I personally have NOT...however I have read a ton of posts on this site with people that have claimed to...usually the almond is the favorite and they swear it actually tasted good after that addition!!!

Hello!! You should try Satin Ice it's better than Wilton and it tastes much better.

Well, I've done it--and I'll never do it again!

I found that in order to get a significant change in flavor, I needed to add a lot of extract. IThat made the Wilton fondant very sticky and I had to add a lot of powdered sugar to get it back to a normal texture. The fondant now dried too quickly--my guess is that the alcohol in the extract and the powdered sugar were the culprits.

I also find that Wilton fondant often develops "elephant skin"--once on the cake--no matter how you roll it, etc. I'll never use it again--it cost me a gold medal in a competition recently!

I agree with Diana--order some Satin Ice and save yourself the grief!
