I have a bride who wants a fondant covered cake. I gave her the Wilton F. to try she didn't like and asked me for a better tasting brand. I like the taste of Satin Ice over Wilton, but have heard so much about Choco-Pan that I am tempted to try. Could you please give me your opinions of these two brands. I'd have to order Choco-Pan on line, and would be glad to pay the shipping if it were much better tasting (and easy to work with) than the others, but I don't want to pay extra if it won't make that big of a difference.

How would you rate (taste and handling) the different brands of fondant on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being the worst, 10 the best)? Thanks

I buy both. I love satin ice vanilla flavored just as is or it is good to add flavors too also. Choco-pan is white chocolate rolled fondant and does have a white chocolate taste tome. I love, love their chocolate version and their caramel one too! I do not like chocolate satin ice...but know lot's of others who do.
Choco pan to me can be harder to work with in the heat but tatse is worth it. Depends on what flavor you want and what you wanna do with it in what weather. Hope I helped some!

i prefer satin ice to the white choc fondant. but the fondant i use most is Fondx it taste like mmf and it really easy to work with. i used the white choc fondant from cal java and it i got cracks and its was not as soft as satin ice or fondx

Thanks your answer helps a lot! Two of the tiers will be orange w/ orange b/c, and the other tier will be chocolate w/ choc. ganache. I think the Choco-Pan would be a good complement to both flavors.
I notice on their web site that the CP is to be rolled out thinner, but if I roll it thinner than normal would it still be easy to handle, and would it cover the chocolate tier in a way that the darkness of the choc. wouldn't show through?

I used the satin ice this past weekend. i think the taste is excellent and I covered a devils food cake with it. I rolled it out like normal-not too thick or too thin, and you couldn't see thru it at all. It was so easy to work with. I have tried making the mmf before, but from now on I will be using the satinice. I ordered mine thru intotheoven.com. A 20 lb container plus shipping was $64. hope that helps

For white fondant, Satin Ice or Fondx.

For chocolate fondant, Choco Pan Noire (dark chocolate) but it is a little pricey. A cheaper, good tasting alternative is Pettinice chocolate - tastes like Tootsie rolls.

the worst tasting fondant by far is Wilton. So if thats all you know anything is a step up.

Wilton's is the easiest to work with.

Satin ice is pretty easy to work with and tastes good.

ChocoPan is harder to work with, but is by far the best tasting fondant i have ever tried.

JMHO

How do you flavor fondant? Do you use the liquid extract almond, vanilla, etc. Will it mess up the the texture?
