It seems like it's only the white one cause I've used the other colors and they worked great, and i'll be very honest with you, they taste awesome. That white buttercream fondant is off the chain!!

I just did a friend's wedding cake using Duff's fondant. I don't work with fondant much but I wanted to try it out. I liked the taste soooooooooooooo much better than the Wilton fondant but it did bubble up much more easily than the Wilton and it was much softer. Also the color is more ivory than white. I didn't have trouble with it tearing or not keeping its shape, but I needed to use quite a bit of icing sugar to avoid it sticking. Also I found that I needed to roll it quite thick - at least 1/8 inch. I tend to roll it thinner but the Duff fondant is so much more pliable that if you don't roll it thickly, it shows any icing imperfections on your buttercream (and I had many since I only use a thin layer of bc on the cakes I cover with fondant). However it did stick to the cake easily - I never even touched my piping gel which is what I normally use to "stick" the Wilton fondant onto a cake. I think just keep your icing sugar nearby and you should be golden!
