I've made it before and yes it's quite easy and tastes quite nice. If you don't find glycerine at coles just go to a cake supply store in your area and they'll definitely had it. I got mine from coles but then when I needed more they didn't have any for ages so just see how you go. Covering a cake with fondant is quite ….erm…difficult if you haven't done it before. I'd say to give it a go before hand. Of course the shape of your cake will depend on how much harder or easier it would be. The coles and safeway fondant is really good if making it from scratch doesn't work out. Good luck ! Look forward to seeing your creation x
