Flavored wax and other delights.

Got this message a couple of weeks ago from my good friend Sally C., after I posted that picture of little Josephine’s fuscia birthday cake:

Tell me something – does your fondant taste like flavored wax? Every fondant I’ve ever had tastes terrible!! I understand the need for it in things like decorated cakes, but – yuck! So tell us – how do you make a good tasting fondant? (Not that I’m ever going to, mind you. I just thought it might be a good idea to tell the wanna be pastry chefs out there what a good fondant should taste like.)

Your wish, she iz my command…
