The cost to make 4.25 lbs of LMF fondant costs you about $5. Considering 5 lbs of wilton fondant costs you at least $20 and is considered the cheap stuff, I would say it’s quite the deal. Another plus side to this fondant is it is extremely flexible so you can roll it out very thin. Not only does it meld perfectly with the buttercream but it stays nice and soft so you barely realize it is there. I usually heat my fondant up before working with it and it actually makes it perform better!

I unfortunately, am not one of them. I find the taste to be, well, tasteless. The fondant hardens to the point that you would sooner peel it off your cake than consider eating it. To me, this is a problem. I wanted my cakes to be as delicious as they are beautiful and I could not achieve that with store-bought fondant. I began experimenting with various homemade fondant recipes of varying degree. None really turned out the way I wanted them to be (or how I thought they should be) but I eventually came upon a fairly easy recipe that I thought tasted amazing. The only problem was it tended to tear easier than I wanted and was a bit too soft. At the time, I was desperate for fondant and had no time to run to the store so I added what I now call my secret ingredient. The fondant worked so well I have never bothered searching for another recipe. Happy accidents are amazing aren’t they?

One of the first things I focused on as a cake decorator is my fondant skills. I knew from the very beginning that I wanted to specialize in fondant cakes but the fondant I was using at the time (Wilton) was NOT cutting it for me. Now I know plenty of cake decorators that use Wilton fondant exclusively and works great for them.

<h3>What People are Saying About LMF Fondant</h3>

“I had always wondered why someone would choose to make their own fondant when there was such an array of options to purchase. Those people must be flush with more time than money or sense!The fact is, fondant IS expensive. During the holidays when I was the one who had more time than money, such is the season, I decided to try this secret recipe. It came together extremely well to my surprise. When I started working with it I noticed it was missing so much that I had come to expect from commercially-made fondant! Where were my rips? Where was the elephant skin? I paid for elephant skin!! This must have been a fluke, surely. I needed to try a second batch to confirm.This time I rolled it out and picked it up with my hands! My hands! Again, no tears. (look Ma, no tears!)I realized, the apocalypse must be nigh (again), because I am now one of those people who make their own fondant. BAM! Thank you Liz!”

“YES YES and YES… I found this a few weeks back and I can’t stop using it even if you tried to make me. It is AWESOME! I made one batch and with the ability to roll it sooo thin without tearing I was able to cover 3 6″ rounds, 1 8″ square, and 1 10″ round plus most of the decorations!! The way it covered my cakes was wonderful. It glides on so smooth, and paper thin. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to get a crisp fondant cover. My clients love the taste. It doesn’t have the strange stiff rubber texture you find with a lot of pre-made fondants. And I have tried for years to find a recipe as simple yet delicious as this one. THANK YOU!!”

Then I saw your video on your recipe and I just used it for the first time tonight and I love it!! Thank you so much for sharing it! I will be using it alot. The kids all had to taste it and they all said yummmmm”

“Elizabeth, number 1, thank you for being pretty much a godsend for sharing all that you share. I’m not sure of many people share what you do & that is one of the sweetest things in the world. You’ve not only helped me feel more confident in my work but my business is going better. This tutorial & recipe changed the way I look at home made fondant. I hated it before. It was too sweet without the elasticity & coverage that I really needed. Your recipe has allowed me to make figures, cover cakes and very very thin ruffles for cakes. The taste can not be compared to any that I’ve had before & it’s easy to color & flavor if my client wants to flavor the fondant, like strawberry or almond to go along with their cakes. I owe you a very large THANK YOU for this recipe & sharing it. I love it & will not go back to anything else. Thank you for taking an active roll in the Cake Community & for allowing you to be part of my growth, not only as a business but as an individual.”
