Satin Ice Fondant for Cake Decorating, Dark Chocolate (5 Pound)

Great consistency. Very easy to work with. It didn’t stick to the push molds i used to make flowers and stayed soft & tasty as part of the cake decoration.

Satin Ice is the best fondant around. I've been using Satin Ice for 5 years now on all of my cakes my cakes. It is nice and smooth, soft and pliable. It doesn't require much kneading. The amount of kneading time is considerably less. It's a little more sticky than other types of fondant but you can keep it from sticking to your hands by rubbing some crisco on your hands before working with the fondant. It rolls out easily on the mat, but be warned you really need to sprinkle on the powdered sugar before you try to roll it onto your roller to put it on the cake. I live in a very humid environment and this fondant works well. I love that I can order my most common colors and not have to worry about then dies affecting the texture of my fondant. I have been purchasing my fondant at a local bakery store, but when they did not have the product in stock I checked and found it on Amazon. To my surprise it was much cheaper than what I have been paying, so I will be ordering from now own. It's exactly what I would have picked up at the store

I cover my cakes in this Fondant. It is easy to work with and doesn't crack like some fondants. I also use it to sculp characters as decorations for children's cakes and for creating flowers for wedding or shower cakes. The shelf life has always been great, I have used it well beyond the date stamped on the container.

I am not a huge fan on fondant but my nephew was getting married and picked out one tier of the cake that had to be fondant, not buttercream. I purchase this Satin Fine brand on referral from a friend who uses it. I have not used fondant in years and I have to say, it has come a long way! This was very vibrant in color and rolled out with ease. I "painted" on it and it held the color well.The wedding was outside and my greatest fear was melting or drying out and cracking. This cake was the base of three tiers, each with a different theme. It sat in the sun (80 degrees, low humidity) for about two hours and suffered no ill effects. It did not melt or crack. I did notice a little drying around the edge but that was all. I'm sure if the cake were inside, it would have stood proud for hours.Most surprising was the taste. When I trained in cake decorating, we used Wilton fondant which was some of the most vile stuff I have ever tasted. This however, was fabulous. It has a vanilla flavor and paired perfectly with the icing. Nobody peeled it off as I have seen at other events with cakes I didn't do. lolThis 5# pail did this 12" double layer cake with plenty to spare. There was probably enough left to do another 12" cake. If you are looking for a fondant that is easy to work with and tastes great, you have found it.

Best fondant on the market in my opinion. I’ve tried renshaw, Wilton and Duff (omg no!) fondex and used to make my own mmf as well. After 13 years of using fondant, 10 years of using satin Ice, 6 of them professionally, I have a few opinions ;). Yes it does form elephant skin and tear if you are not careful. Take you’re time and kneed completely first. It is not nearly as hard as other fondants (duff and foundex required microwaving) but being softer it gets gummy easier. Careful with added colors it will change the consitency. The taste however is wonderful. Way way better than other brands. I have customers who refuse fondant because of precious encounters until they try satin ice. My kids eat it plain. Overall nice texture, great flavor. Harder to model because Of the softer consistency but better for Cake coverings.

Once you get it moving it’s just like play dough! Easy to work with & doesn’t smell bad or taste bad.

I don’t even want to leave a review after what happened with this fondant over the weekend. It was by far, the worst experience. I have ben making fondant birthday cakes for 15 years and have never had this happen. I was making a cake for 50+ baby shower. The fondant out of the container seemed off, it wasn’t the usual quality and no matter how much grease, corn starch or glycerin I used, it would tear and fall apart. After two hours, I got it on the cake horribly. It was falling off the sides. I was so upset I put it away to take a break. When I pulled it back out to see how I could salvage the cake, it completely came apart. The pic shows the aftermath. It was so hard it crumbled apart all over my counter and floor. I had to run to Walmart for their fondant and my son drive me to the shower while I fixed the cake. Thank god for Walmart to save the day but this was an absolute waste of money and I was a huge satin fan.

It was expired when I got it. It was so dry. I couldn’t even use it.
