Customer Reviews

I would use it again. Fairly easy to work with.
I have completed all the Wilton cake decorating courses and I do cakes on the side. I used this rolled fondant on a wedding cake last weekend. Overall easy to work with, softens fairly quickly and rolls out nicely.

I don't mind eating it (i sorta like chewy 'stuff') but most people generally don't. You are supposed to cover the cake with a light coating of buttercream before adding fondant (make sure the buttercream is perfectly smooth; fondant will show all imperfections) and let the buttercream dry before putting fondant over it.

Of course most people prefer to flavor/color - just add cornstarch to balance out the stickyness. I don't flavor mine, just color. A really dark blue required quite a bit of color (1/2 the jar) plus cornstarch. This much cornstarch and additives make it harder to work with, it is not as supple for working it over the cake. Lighter colors work best with this rolled fondant.

I will keep using this fondant in the conveninet size packages.

The only reason i rated 4 stars instead of 5 is because there's no expire date on the package that I can find. Some other packages (NOT purchased through Amazon) had some hardness that I thought I had kneaded out, but tiny hard chunks showed up when I rolled it thin.

THE WORST!
I have my own supplier for my fondant. But there was one time when I accepted a rush job and wasn't able to check that I don't have enough fondant left. So I went out to buy Wilton. I was so impressed on how easy it is to work with. So I cut my decors and colored it. As I was drying the stars, I tasted one (isn't that what good cooks are suppose to do?). I almost vomited when I tasted it. I am very sensitive to food taste and smell. The Wilton Fondant taste like rancid oil. At first I tasted the coloring and the pearl dust I used coz I thought the bad taste was coming from there (and the fact that I never thought Wilton can make such bad product). Anyway, I ended up calling my supplier and agreed to pick up the fondant just so I can get one.

I Would NEVER Serve a Cake Made With This Stuff!
When I started taking the Wilton cake courses I really looked forward to taking the Fondant and Gum Paste class. And while the fondant is easy to work with and makes a beautiful cake, it is THE WORST TASTING STUFF I'VE EVER PUT IN MY MOUTH.

Cakes are meant to be eaten. And I have pride in my cakes. I want them to look good, and I expect them to TASTE GOOD! This stuff tastes so bad that I could never, in good conscience, serve a cake decorated with it to anyone. I wouldn't even give it to my dogs. IT TASTES THAT BAD!

Come on Wilton! Surely your chefs can create a fondant that people would actually want to eat.
