My First Fondant!

So, I am almost out of my store bought fondant and have a cake to make in a couple of days so I tried out the fondant recipe I have. OMG...it was very messy and smooshy...and almost annoying until, of course, it started to form and harden into fondant and not just a big pile of melted mess. It was so quick too! I can't believe they actually charge as much as they do for the packaged fondant...what a rip off!!! Never again will they get me to buy it pre-made...however, the people who make those disposable latex gloves can definitely get some of my money!!! LOL
