Fondant: Frequently asked questions
What types of Fondant are there and what determines a good product?
A good fondant should be smooth, creamy and not too sweet. It shouldn’t have a waxy taste or feel to it. Fondants are made with sugar so they will always have some sweetness but you don’t want them to be overly sugary tasting either. You also want the flavor of your cake to come through in the fondant as well.

Who should use a Fondant?
Based on what criteria should you buy a Fondant?
The first thing you need to look out for is the quality of fondant. It should be soft and smooth, not hard or sticky. You can check this by pressing your finger on it – if it leaves an indentation then that’s a good sign. Also make sure there are no lumps in the Fondant as these will affect how well it rolls out later on. If you don’t like one brand over another just because they have different packaging (and price) then go with what works best for you.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Fondant?
Advantages
Fondant is a sugar paste that can be rolled out and used to cover cakes. It has the advantage of being easy to work with, as it does not need refrigeration before use and will keep for several months if stored in an airtight container.
Disadvantages
Fondant is not as flexible as gum paste. It does not have the same elasticity and can crack if it dries out or gets too dry.
