For those of you that don't know MMF stands for Marshmallow Fondant. There seems to be a bit of a debate in the cake community regarding the use of store bought fondant vs marshmallow fondant. They both obviously have their pros and cons: Store bought is easily accessible and immediately useable yet usually tastes pretty horrible. On the other hand MMF is far less expensive and can be flavored to compliment the cake it is being used on but can be a bit time consuming to make.
I have used both and I can say that I've been won over by the MMF hands down!
The texture of MMF is smooth and elastic like store bought but it tastes SO much better. Not to mention that it takes about $3 to make compared to the $15+ for the store bought stuff. Plus the MMF because a part of the cake, not just some gross covering that everyone pulls off before they eat their slice. It colors and flavors easily and is easy to work with. Not to mention the recipe is incredibly easy.
The recipe that I use can be found at
