Duff Goldman Fondant & Bakeware at Michaels!

Duff Goldman, Ace of Cakes, has a line of assorted flavors of fondant aptly called Duff Fondant and bakeware at Michael's Craft Store! Anyone try the fondant? The buzz is that it tastes great but may be a little tricky to work with. It's also a bit pricey, but you can always wait for Michael's discount coupons or a sale. And shhhhhh! if you didn't know already, Michael's Craft Store accepts A.C. Moore coupons.

The fondant is SatinIce with a different label on it, or so I've heard!

The fondant is definitely not Satin Ice...Just bought the black (needed it last minute and ran to Michael's with a coupon) and it never hardened...(I like to dry out some of my fondant blossoms before putting them on cupcakes). I will not buy again =(

Thanks for your comment Rene. Not a good thing if it doesn't harden.

The Fondant is suppose to be from Fondarific. It is the only fondant that he uses. They make an excellent product. If you are having problems using it give Laura at Fondarific a call. they make every batch by hand and she can help you out with it.

i'm just rather surprised to find the price almost $20 for such a small amount! the nearest location for me to find this product by Duff is 2 hours away- the other nearest places to get even a store bought fondant which is Wilton's is an hour away so i end up making my own marshmallow fondant. with a few tricks its very useable- if i need it to harden i add gumpaste. to make your mmf pliable - nice and soft for covering cakes just add some light corn syrup- experiment with what works best for you. hope this tip is ok to add.

Love your hints Gail. Thank you for sharing!

I agree that the Duff fondant is pricey. I actually bought one tub and also Duff cake mix just to try it. I used the fondant to cover some cookies and made cupcakes from the cake mix. I thought that the fondant handled a lot like Fondarific--very pliable --never hardens like Satin Ice or Wilton's.
