I made it for the first time today and I'll definitely continue to use it icon_smile.gif The taste is 100% better than fondant.

Anyhow, my questions:
-What can I do to make it less "stiff" and more managalbe? After making it, I let it sit wrapped in a moist cloth, but it was still stiff so I put it in the microwave and that helped...is there another way?

-What is the best way to wrap it on a square cake so that there are no creases on the bottom corners?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Ahh-haa! square corners is what I would like to know how to do also with the mmf...and...should it be really thin to smooth easier?

Oh, I also store mine wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, then inside a sealed plastic bag. I'm still "playing" with some from March!

Another thing I've done is to cut off the amount I need and just nuke that, not the whole thing. I do use shortening on my hands and cornstarch on the countertop.
