Well Lorie
When I don't make my own...I use Satin Ice, occasionally FondX if I can find on sale. Fortunately for me, I am near 2 very large decorating warehouses. I am able to purchase there own brand. I buy a large tub, split it up and freeze it in portions.

I'm in the UK Lorie, so a lot of this may not be relevant to you.  I always use store bought fondant as I just can't be bothered to make my own.  I actually really like Tesco own brand - it's really fudgy and is nice to work with.  When I need something more specialised (ie a particular colour that is hard to achieve by colouring white fondant), I use Renshaw Professional.  It's more expensive, but they have a wonderful range of colours.

Dr. Oetker ready to roll is pretty good too.

Nope..... At least not here in Canada. There is a grocery store here, Metro, and there carrying some brand I sampled at the Canada Sweets show. Tasted dreadful.....wouldn't buy even if I was desperate. Googled, and the brands you mentioned are not available in USA or Canada....

I envy all of you because you have so many choices of brands for ready-made fondant. Here in the Philippines you need to go to Manila to buy those but only few choices. So now that I learn how to make fondant I just do it from scratch and it is a fondant that you can eat because it tastes good though it's really difficult to do it unlike just buying it.

I am not familiar with these brands.  I will research them online.  Thank you for responding.
