OK, so I enjoy using fondant and recently used and bought some Wilton fondant for the class I'm in. I have only used MMF but have found that the recipe I use isn't the best....it's just marshmallows, water, corn syrup and powdered sugar. What is your favorite recipe that is like the texture of the Wilton fondant but makes sense economically to make?

Thanks

"Hands down" Michele Foster's Fondant. That stuff is awesome. I wouldn't even consider using another fondant. It taste great, it's inexpensive and for workability it's second to none.

I've tried marshmallow fondant several times and I have never had good results.

Without a doubt, hands down... Michele Foster's fondant. I use nothing else! Tastes great and easy to work with and I know exactly what is in it!

I use a 50/50 mix of Rhonda's Ultimate MMF and Michele Fosters Fondant. Two batches of Rhonda's to one batch of Michele's. I like the taste and mouth feel of MMF, but the addition of MFF makes the pliability lots better.

It all depends on what I am making and cost involved. If it's something like a wedding cake or high end item that I am being paid well for I use Jennifer Dontz recipe. If it is something for everyday I have used Michelle's recipe and it worked well too.
I prefer Jennifer's recipe but there is more cost involved in it.

I looked in the recipe section, but don't see Jennifer Dontz's recipes. Can anyone give it to me - or a link to it?

thanks!

Thanks ladies. I got all the ingredients I need for Michele Foster's fondant and am going to make it tomorrow.

Hi ladies!! can any of you be so kind to share the recipe for michele's fondant? please pretty please I looked under recipes but nothing came up. Thank you so much

I like both of the ladies fondant recipes, but I find that I cannot get my food writer pens to work on Michele's for some reason. They will work perfectly on Rhonda's so that is the one I use, but I liked the pliability of Michele's. Thanks for the idea of mixing the two together, linedancer. I will give that a try.

You are welcome and hope it works for you Cookies4kids.

does michelles recipe respond well if you add gum tex to make modeling paste? im having so much trouble finding a good recipe that turns out for modeling paste. i think alot of the ingredients here are different to the u.s.

sorry to be a pain, and thanks.

I have tried her recipe a few times, came out great tasted great, but when I went to use it, after a few days it was rock hard, and I had to throw it out, yes I followed those three steps, what could have went wrong.[/quote]

Don't throw it out. Knead, knead, knead. I had a batch to do that once and I kneaded about a handful at a time then kneaded it all together. Once I had it pliable it didn't return to that "rock hard" consistency. Have you ever used Wilton fondant? That stuff is like a brick before you knead it.

I also don't use the entire 3 1/2 pounds of powdered sugar. I always have some left in the bowl. I wouldn't even consider using another fondant. For taste and workability it's "hands down" the best I've ever used.

I LOVE Rhonda's Ultimate MMF. I have never had a complaint and my son literally waits for the leftovers.

Oh, this is great information! I do cookies, but my daughter wants to be a baker and we have made Michelle's recipe a few times for her fondant work. Over time, even with wrapping and sealing airtight, it would get hard. I now see that we should not have added the extra PS that we did. Thanks!

Tightly wrapped, how long should it last at room temp.? Thanks again!

as someone stated already (cant remember who) if you advance search "mff information" on google, and click on the first link, you will get a ton of info. on the mff from michelle herself, its great. just wanted to say thankyou to whoever posted to do that (osrry, my brain stopped an hour or so ago now). soo.... thanks. =)
