What is fondant?

Fondant, sometimes called plastic icing, is a smooth, pliable icing used to cover cakes, create decorations, and craft intricate details. Unlike traditional frosting, fondant provides a sleek, matte finish that elevates the look of any cake. 

It’s a popular choice for professional bakers and home decorators alike, thanks to its versatility and ease of use. Whether you’re making fondant cakes for a special occasion or experimenting with new designs, fondant opens up endless creative possibilities.

Different types of fondant icing

At Baking Pleasures, we offer a wide selection of fondant icing to suit your needs. From ready-to-roll fondant to fondant frosting for intricate designs, our collection has something for everyone. Here are some of the types available:

Rolled fondant

Rolled fondant is the most common type used for covering cakes. It's rolled into thin sheets and draped over cakes for a flawless, smooth finish. This type is perfect for both cakes and cupcakes, providing a seamless base for further decoration.

Poured fondant

Poured fondant is a creamy, pourable icing used primarily for petit fours and small confections. It hardens to a glossy finish, making it ideal for elegant, bite-sized treats.

Sculpting fondant

Sculpting fondant, also known as modeling fondant, has a firmer texture suited for creating detailed decorations such as figurines, flowers, and intricate designs. It holds its shape well, making it perfect for adding three-dimensional elements to your cakes.

Top tips on using fondant for your next project

Covering a fondant cake

Covering a cake with fondant is straightforward but requires some practice. Start by preparing your cake with a layer of buttercream or ganache to create a smooth surface. Roll out the fondant to the desired thickness, typically about 1/8 inch, and carefully drape it over the cake. Smooth out any air bubbles and trim the excess fondant at the base. 

For detailed instructions, refer to our Comprehensive Guide to Using Fondant Icing.

Decorating with fondant

Fondant's versatility allows you to create a variety of decorations. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes or mold the fondant into flowers, bows, and other intricate designs. Sculpting tools can add texture and definition to your creations. You can also paint fondant with edible food colors for a personalized touch.

Chocolate fondant

Chocolate fondant is a delicious variation that adds a rich, chocolate flavor to your cakes and decorations. Made by incorporating cocoa powder or melted chocolate into the fondant mixture, it can be used in the same way as traditional fondant, offering a tasty and visually appealing option for your cakes.

Black fondant

Black fondant is popular for creating dramatic, elegant cake designs. It's often used for wedding cakes, Halloween-themed cakes, and other special occasions where a bold, striking look is desired. Our high-quality black fondant provides a deep, consistent color without excessive food coloring.

How to make the most of your fondant frosting

Using fondant frosting effectively can transform your baked creations. Here are some tips to help you get started:

1. Prepare your surface

Ensure your cake is smooth and crumb-free by applying a layer of buttercream or ganache before adding the fondant.

2. Roll evenly

Use a rolling pin to roll out your fondant icing to a consistent thickness for a polished look.

3. Handle with care

Avoid overworking the fondant to prevent cracking or tearing.

4. Experiment with cake tools

Use cutters, embossers, and moulds to create stunning patterns and decorations.

5. Store correctly

Keep unused fondant in an airtight container to maintain its pliability.

Whether you're making a cake for a wedding or crafting small decorations for cupcakes, our products help you achieve flawless results every time.
