Kelly, no I used wilton. I didn't have time to make my own but I DO want to try it at some point.
I did blend in a little powdered sugar though, just to help the taste a bit.
It takes some working with the fondant but all in all it was easier than I thought it would be. Just some muscle to roll it out and then perfecting it on the cake in time before it dries. I learned from it, because it had some bumps here and there but all in all it looked good and everyone was very impressed...they kept saying "that's a cake? I thought it was procelain"! lol
