Cooking Does anyone Play with Fondant?

[Mrs. M. Mouse]

we have been watching ace of cakes and the food network challenges and I have this giant idea that playing with fondant would be a ton of fun! I was wondering if any of you have experience with this medium?

if yes could you post some pictures for inspiration? thanks

There's a whole 88 page cake decorating thread over on the CB. The women there are really inventive.

Anyone in here decorate cakes?

FYI, I made my daughter a great birthday cake covered with fondant with flower and butterfly fondant decorations. It looked very professional and I used "mock" fondant! - marshmallow Fluff and confectionary sugar.

Just mix the two together until you get a thick dough consistency. You can tint it with paste or gel colors. It's super easy to roll out and work with - and looks and tastes pretty good, too.
