re: Is Satin Ice a good option for a newbie?

That’s it! I have just covered my last cake in Satin Ice and I’m tired of the quality. I don’t know lately if I’ve gotten some bad batches but no matter how much I knead it, use the mat, and work with a ganached cake, the darn stuff is not smooth (and my ganache is smooth as glass underneath). Especially the blue/vanilla – it has always given me the worst coverage. I will use the rest of the buckets I have for figurines and cake boards. I’m sticking to Pettinice (even though it pricier) and going to try Fondx too. Just had to vent because I’m working on a grooms cake right now and it needs to be perfect, and Satin Ice is spoiling it for me. :-(
