My kids would eat a whole batch of it if I'd let them. They may not be too discriminating, though. I use Satin Ice fondant, and my customers and friends and family love it. At most kids parties, the kids all scramble to get the fondant decorations and things Every time she see a small piece of fondant on the worktable it;s "do you need that?
Taste aside, some people don't like the texture, no matter how good the flavor is though. The very first time I used fondant to cover an entire cake I made Michele Foster's. The cake was for my niece's 1st birthday so I was able to get feedback from my family. It was pretty much split down the middle, half liked the fondant taste and texture, half thought it was pretty but just got in the way, so they ate around it.
I am going to try adding flavor maybe strawberry to the next batch I make and see how that goes over. I liken fondant to the texture of Circus Peanuts I use fondant AND eat fondant Satin Ice, FondX, Chocopan Fondarific is also a very edible and cut-able product. I like to eat fondant. Marshmellow is good, even bought wilton isn't to bad if you add more flavor to it. You have to be careful how much flavor you add.
You can make the Wilton fondant in the yearbook as well and add your own flavor, that tastes good. I just don't like it too thick, then it seems too chewy. Circus Peanuts My grandmother used to feed them to us in church to keep us from "fidgeting". My mother would get so mad cuz they stained our little white church gloves. Yep that's exactly what circus peanuts are I think it's fine, and my friends at work think it's fine.
I've never quite understood how people are such picky eaters. All 3 fondants are well received around here Satin Ice, Michele Foster's and marshmallow. It often depends what you're used to. In England where I grew up most of the special occasion cakes are covered with fondant.
Many people like it, but as with all foods some don't. In fact to many English people the thought of putting peanut butter and grape jelly on a sandwich is gross! Or eating pancakes and syrup from the same plate as sausages and bacon. In the USA however most people have grown up with buttercream covered cakes. People I have spoken to have no idea that fondant is even edible and are reluctant to try it. I think it is up to us as cake decorators to encourage people to try it and prove that it can taste great - even if we don't like the taste or texture ourselves.
I also think that most of the amazing cakes on this site are covered in fondant! But that's my personal opinion. I wonder if you could make fondant from the circus peanuts.
I find the best way to slice a fondant cake and not worry about the potential of squishing it is not only to use a sharp knife but to use a pointed knife.
I use the pointed end to pierce the surface of the fondant and then follow through and complete the slice along the entire length of the knife. I had an issue with cutting fondant only once and it was because the cake itself was too soft and I didn't use this method. Now, I can even cut a supersoft cake like a chiffon that has fondant on it by using the point to pierce the fondant first. As for the taste of fondant, I personally don't mind it but really have never liked icing of any kind on my cakes.
Kids love it though and as PinkZiab mentioned, will fight over the decorative pieces. You can also make a buttercream iced cake that has just fondant decorations for those that don't want fondant. You get the best of both that way! I have never used fondant to cover a cake nor have I ever eaten cake covered in fondant.
Most kids love the candy clay, but many adults don't eat it because of the chewy texture. I suspect this would happen if I covered the entire cake in fondant. I have tried all the tricks to get my buttercream smooth, but I'm not there yet.
I love the look of fondant and would really like to learn how to use it. But I doubt anyone would eat it. General Discussion. Log In Sign Up. Fondant Food Preferences.

Sauces Butter. I make my own fondant out of marshmallow cream. It's much tastier. I do agree about the plastic figures. It's more fun for the kids and less work for me. Taste is subjective. We like fondant. I don't like cheap plastic toys on cakes for anyone over 5. Fondant is disgusting. I went with a friend who was looking for wedding cake ideas. I have to admit we were both loving the cute fondant cakes.. Oh I am sure it is easier. That is why I am not sure why it is so expensive.
I could make fucking works of art with fondant.
