Satin Ice Fondant for Cake Decorating, Dark Chocolate (2 Pound)

I got this fondant for my brother's wedding. I won't be using it until this weekend, so the only things I can comment on right now are the taste and the color and texture. First off, right out of the bucket, this fondant was very stretchy and easy to work with, I pulled out a chunk just to see out it worked, before I ordered more. I found it very nice, and I'm just beginning to work with fondant. I was very concerned with the fact that it was being delivered on a 90 degree day, but it stayed gummy and workable and didn't melt or stick to anything. The color was gorgeous. I was a little worried about it leaving a blue or green color residue or not quite being black, but it's a great color and didn't bleed everywhere. Lastly, the taste, I tried it and I have to say this is some of the best tasting fondant. I liked it so much, that I ordered the white and I plan on making the flowers out of it, because I know people will love them. *UPDATE* Worked very well. I made many flowers and other decorations for the cake with this. Everyone thought it tasted great and looked wonderful. My only complaint is that it didn't dry as hard as other products I have used, so I had to be very careful when moving them around as they easily lost shape or fell apart. I'm not sure if this was because of the fondant or because of the heat, even though i made sure they were in a cool, dry place. My other issues is that no matter what I tried, it was very sticky and stuck to the mat that I was rolling it out on. Once I let it sit out for 15min or so, it got much easier to work with and I was able to actually roll and cut ribbons without them breaking or sticking. Overall, I would buy this again, just takes a little bit of getting used to.

This was my first time using fondant and I’m so happy with how it went. I don’t have anything to compare it to but I thought this product was really easy to work with and looks great. The package was well sealed and the fondant was not too hard when I started kneading it. It became really pliable after working with it. I used the entire two pound package on this cake for reference on how much you need. It also tastes really good!

good for gingerbread making.

Black fondant. takes some work to soften and form. Rolls easy with a roller. Have not tasted it so no opinion. Worked on a large cake outside layer.

I ordered this to use to cover a whole cake. The smell is wonderful, it smells really good like a decadent tootsie roll. Rolling it however is like trying to roll a 2 year old tootsie roll. I kneaded the fondant for 15 minutes until it was softer but rolling was a nightmare. It was immediate "elephant skin" and super dry. I added a bit of shortening and no help at all. I ended up covering my cake and it tore horribly. I had to scrape it off and try 3x and ended up throwing the fondant in the trash. I had to tell my customer I couldn't finish her cake design and she had to choose something else. I was upset. I had to cut my cake price in half, essentially loosing money on the order. I paid her to take the cake off my hands. Can someone contact me about the dry fondant? Next time I will order straight from satin ice. I made the mistake thinking it was from the actual company but it's not. Learn from my lesson!

Reliable, good flavor, great color.

This fondant is perfect! It was my very first time working with fondant, and this product made the whole process so easy. It feels almost like working with Play-Doh — super smooth, easy to shape, and fun to use. I absolutely love it!

Just fine line is you need to use? Definitely recommend for cake decorators
