Can you eat fondant icing?
Fondant is an edible icing made of 100% edible ingredients (which makes us question who uses inedible icing). Although the icing is edible, you might see people take the fondant off cakes when they are eating cake because people tend to not like the texture or flavor of fondant. Don’t be shy to eat the icing!
Can you buy fondant in sheets?
You can buy pre-rolled fondant in sheets at some specialty stores, or you can buy it in a dough form and roll it yourself. Think of it like cake decorating with Play-doh®, almost, just much more fun to eat! No matter which form is best, fondant will absolutely up your cake decorating game in no time!
What is poured fondant used for?
We will not touch too much on poured fondant, as it is less common, but it is used for fillings or covering cakes. Cadbury Creme Eggs are filled with a version of poured fondant, to help you picture it a little better.
What is the texture of fondant?
The texture of fondant is very different than most icings, however, which is what really makes it unique. Fondant comes in a couple different forms: rolled or poured, usually. Rolled fondant has the same texture of clay that is a little stiffer than you are used to, and poured fondant is a very gelatinous, thick liquid.
