Wilton Yellow Fondant Vanilla-Flavored for Cake Decorating 23.9 oz.

I forgot to order a cake for my husband's birthday and ended up making my first custom cake! Easy to use, cheaper than other fondant, impressed with the quality for the price. Great flavor! When I have eaten other fondants they didn't taste as good as this one. I was able to knead gel food coloring in without too much trouble. I was shaping it, but I think it would roll fairly easily. I used about half the box for my purposes. Did not dry out too quickly to work with. Pretty proud of my cake for an absolute beginner!

I really like this fondant. I have never used fondant in the past, but had always wanted to try it. This stuff is easy to work with and gave my cake such a smooth finish. It's also fun to mold things with. This 5 lb box contains 2 foil wrapped sleeves. I used ½ of 1 sleeve to cover a short double layer 9" cake and used the cut off scraps for extra fondant molded decorations. I sprinkled my rolling mat w/powdered sugar and then I kneaded the dough. I then rolled it to about ⅛", like the directions stated. It went on my prepped cake easily (cake had a butter cream crumb coat). I smoothed it out and trimmed off the excess. I had my kids help make decorations from the fondant. We actually colored this fondant w/some concentrated food dyes that I had. I kneaded the coloring into the white fondant and I just sprinkled in some powdered sugar to keep it from getting too tacky. The kids had fun making shapes w/the fondant. The taste was OK. I wasn't a fan of it, but my husband and kids liked it. To me it tasted like store can frosting w/a hint of marshmallow flavor. The texture was also weird to eat too. Again, no one else seemed to mind the texture, but did note that it was a little tough/chewy. If you use fondant or are new to it, like me, then I suggest trying this one either way. It's easy to work with, fun to mold decorations with, & satisfying to cut when you finally serve the cake.
