Newbie: Hi was wondering if anyone has ever tried Duffy's fondant available at Michaels??
Hi guys!
Thsi is my first time in this community...glad to be a part of it..
I have just enetered this crazy and obsessive cake decorating world and have been using Satin Ice rolled fondant for decorating but I got an email from michaels.com and they announcned their new line of Duff (from Ace of Cakes) fondant and icing. has anyone ever used it??
Rumor has it that it is actually Fondarific who is the manufacturer but Duff is the label..Maybe you have used fondarific ....if yes.. how was it??
thanks again
brigid

Not much competition when the product is more epensive. 2lbs of Duff Fondant aprox $20. You can purchase 5lbs of Wilton brand for the same price at least in basic white.

I did hear that Wilton and Michaels will be offering Michaels brand cake decorating products. The store employee could not tell me the price ranges of their future products.

I heard rumors that these would be Wilton stuff in disguise! I hope that's not the case.

She said it would be better than Wilton brand! Why in the world would Wilton offer a better product for someone else? Duh!

agree makes no sense unless Micheals would like to bring their own line and asked Wilton to step up their product quality..let's face it I think wilton would be hearing and reading all the reviews everywhere about how awful their fondant is..in the end it is all about making money..lol!

Hi, I have used both Satin Ice and Chef Duff's fondant from Michaels. I don't have immediate access to Satin Ice- I need to drive 1/2 hr to get it. I really like Chef Duff's fondant from Michaels. If you use the coupon the 2lb tub costs $12. It can cover 2 8" rounds. It smells great and is very easy to repair. It's smooths easily and is a charm to work with- so is Satin Ice however. I have made marshmallow fondant for a few years- when it works for me it's wonderful but it'not always perfect. Sometimes it has small gelatinous specks in it- sometimes it has too many air bubbles in it from over kneading and sometimes it doesn't take color well for me. With my cake business becoming more busy I find I can't deal with the stress of unpredicatble fondant so I will be using commercially made fondant for the most part and am relieved that Michaels is carrying this new brand.
