I used to buy fondant, and it tasted okay, but now I only use the marshmallow fondant recipe...it's extremely easy to make, easy to use, it looks wonderful on a cake, and you can flavor it anyway you'd like. I've used marshmallow flavoring for a super marshmallow taste, amaretto flavoring and champagne flavoring. I have to use it quickly because my husband eats it, too.... For Andrea:

Use fondant on the cake. They can always peel if off if it is. Im not sure about the "love" you can always email her as she is always very helpful. Sounds great with the dvd :-) Andrea:Oh sorry!

I am new here in Swtizerland (close to Zurich) and did not find sugar supplies yet. Let me know whenever you come to visit your friend here in Switzerland > ) Regarding to the word "love" that is impressed on the cake of Ms Zambito, do we buy it at her webpage, too ? I am going to order the Bows DVD. Thanks for the tip ! Louise,

So why not? Is it easy to buy sugarcraft supplies in Switzerland? A friend of mine have also recently moved to Switzerland. Andrea: Some kids peel it off and others eat it. So why not?

I prefer fondant covered cakes. but both ways can be beautiful. Fondant will not go hard rock if overworked. It can dry abit and then it will have too many air bubbles. Andrea: You can safely order from the site. So no need to worrie. Janet Kiesler, Maria C, Rhonda, Martha, Maria, Kim, SugaryG: So nice to hear. She is fantastic. Rikke: No but you can send me an email if you like? Trisha: There is a link to her site in the text. nurten: Not my cake so cant take the credit for it but it is really beautiful.

I purchased Perfecting the Art of Buttercream, Flawless Fondant & Boxes and Bows and I have to say Sharon really takes the time to show you how to do everything.

I just wonder about the response of people who traditionally order e.g. butter cream frosting. Do they enjoy the fondant, which give the cake such an elegant finish? What has been your experience? Also - if fondant is overworked, does it set like a rock? I've only worked with it one time years ago - bad experience. Joanne I would love to make cakes like that and would get the DVD.
