I am going to try a new fondant recipe. So far I have only made MMF. Which recipe do you prefer? Toba Garretts or Michelle Fosters? I wanted a little feedback from those that have tried these recipes. Do you like them and why and do you have any tips for making them? Thanks so much!

I have made Toba's rolled fondant and I loved it...as far as fondant goes... Use the glycerine in it. I had only done MMF prior to that. We found the MMF too sweet.

Ditto mmf is way to sweet have tried Tobas it is very good can't give you a comparison though haven't made the other

I find the MMF too sweet as well, although Rhonda's ultimate recipe was better. Thanks for the feedback. Has anyone used Michelle Fosters recipe? like it or?

I've tried both and I prefer Michelle Foster's. It seemed smoother and easier to work with. It's flavor was just a hint more rich (real milk and butter I think makes a difference). Toba's was fine. I needed to add more sugar than the recipe called for but that may have been inexperience at the time. I've since learned to leave my fondant on the soft side and let it rest 24 hours. It will be more firm and less sticky the next day. I'm thinking the gelatin needs to set. I don't think you can go wrong with either recipe.

Thanks for the responses. I made Toba's recipe and it is good. It seems to roll out very nice. I think next time I will make Michelle Fosters recipe to see how they compare.

I ONLY use Michele's! Love it!

I can't seem to find Toba's recipe.
Can someone post a link??

Toba's recipe is in her book Professional Cake Decorating. http://www.tobagarrett.com/store.html It might be in her other books as well. HTH

Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!

I just gave my son (15) and his friends a taste of Toba's recipe. My son said he doesn't like fondant but has now changed his mind after tasting this recipe. Their conclusion is that it tasted like the old Popeye cigarette candies they had when "young", only better.

coreenag, which flavouring did you choose?

Exclusively Toba's here! Love working with it and eating it.
Be sure and try the chocolate too, it is wonderful and tastes like tootsie rolls.

My daughter and husband both disliked fondant a great deal until I made Toba's. They both changed their minds and will eat it only if it is Toba's recipe.

Teekakes where can I find the recipe for the chocolate fondant? I would love to try it! I used coconut flavoring for this recipe that I made.

Thanks Teekakes. Sounds tasty!

You are welcome!
