Buddy Valastro Foods Ready-To-Use Fondant (Blue Vanilla, 4.4 Ounces)

I’ve worked with fondant that was a real workout. This was soft and workable without any kneading at all! It rolls out like a dream. Making shark teeth for my Shark Week cake was a breeze! It stays soft so you don’t need a saw to cut through it and it tastes really good (really sweet, but it’s FONDANT)! Although I didn’t need to, I imagine it would be really easy to color with a drop or two of gel food coloring and a little kneading to mix it in. Just make sure you take what you need out of the container and keep the rest covered tightly so it doesn’t dry out. Will definitely purchase again.

This is the first time that I’ve used this brand but I was really disappointed in you have to work quickly to try superquick and ends up looking like rotten Play dough - There was two packages both were equally disappointing- I bought all the other colors in wilson brand I wanted a light blue ordered this and the fondant inside was quite a bit darker than advertised- I used this as the base layer on a fondant mini cake and used the extra to make flowers for the second cake- But the picture is an example on how it cracked - On the Cake that I used this for the base i had to really fill in cover pieces - I definitely would not recommend this product- I made the cakes the night before the party so they should’ve at least lasted a couple days not overnight crackage !!!!

I used this Fondant to cover a cake. I needed a similar to hot pink color so I had to purchase this. I covered a tall 8" cake and it had very poor "elephant skin" texture after coverage. Plus tore in some areas. It was a one shot coverage so I had to give the lady a discount when I gave her the cake. See noticed it too. Smells like playdoh also. Only plus side is the container amount was enough to cover 8" cake and 12" outside of board with still some leftover.

I bought the red fondant to try to replicate the masterpieces I've seen on the Food Network. As someone who has never used fondant before I have to say that the Buddy Valastro fondant put all my fears to rest! This stuff is so thick and smooth. My family was so impressed with the cake I decorated!

Totally unsatisfied with this fondant, it was very old, and completely DRIED OUT. My cake kept bulging, & wrinkling upThe fact the it cannot be returned is even more disappointing 😕 , upon ordering 5 different 5lb. BucketsThe 2 tier cake was used with Satin iceThe red cake & yellow cake was used with Wilton(SEE THE DIFFERENCE HERE) !!!!I could not use any of it, I had to take several of my cakes apart because it kept tearing and drying out as I rolled it out. Not only that it had a big glotch of something as a jelly bean substance mixed in between EACH Bucket.This is very frustrating, that I cannot even contact the seller, nor return it.Please do not purchase this product, if you want a nice, pretty cake ...USE WILTON

I bought this specifically to be rolled out and cut into shapes for cupcakes. It dries out very quickly so I recommend only pulling out a small bit at a time and knead well each time, work quickly and seal all the way in plastic wrap when you're done.Because I worked quickly there was minimal staining. I didn't bother tasting it because... fondant never tastes great but it didn't smell awful.

I had never made a fondant-covered cake before, so I really have nothing to compare this product to. But I found it easy to knead and roll out, and had absolutely no problems or complaints with it. It was fun to work with and did just what I needed it to. The only negative thing I would say is that it really didn't taste very good, but I guess fondant never does. So we just admired the cake with the fondant on it, then removed it and ate the cake with just the buttercream. Yum!

My 9 YO is getting into baking, and this is the first batch of fondant we bought her. As I have no idea what to expect from fondant, all I can say is that it does what we need it to do, and it doesn't taste horrible. So, therefore, full marks?
