Types of Fondant Icing

Not all fondant is the same. Here's a quick guide to the types available in our range:

Rolled Fondant (Ready-to-Roll)

Ready-to-roll fondant is the most popular choice for covering cakes. Roll it out into a smooth sheet and drape it over your cake for a clean, polished finish. It's the go-to for wedding cakes, birthday cakes, and celebration cakes of all kinds. Our ready-to-roll range comes in a wide variety of colours so you can skip the colouring step entirely.

Sculpting Fondant

Also known as modelling paste or decorator's dough, sculpting fondant has a firmer texture that holds its shape beautifully. Use it to create three-dimensional fondant decorations like flowers, figurines, bows, and intricate toppers. It's a favourite among cake decorators who want to add fine detail and depth to their designs.

Poured Fondant

Poured fondant is a smooth, pourable icing that sets to a glossy finish — perfect for coating petit fours, eclairs, and small confections. It's a different product to rolled fondant, and ideal when you want an elegant, shiny result.

Sugarpaste

Sugarpaste is simply another name for fondant icing, widely used in the UK and by many Australian decorators. If you're searching for sugarpaste, you're in the right place — our entire fondant range works the same way.

Coloured Fondant — Every Shade You Need

Stop mixing, start creating. Our coloured fondant range means you can go straight from packet to rolling pin. We stock a wide spectrum of ready-coloured options including:

• Black fondant — perfect for dramatic cakes, Halloween themes, and gothic designs
• White fondant — the classic base for wedding cakes and elegant celebrations
• Red fondant — ideal for bold designs, Christmas cakes, and Valentine's Day creations
• Blue fondant — great for baby showers, sports cakes, and ocean themes
• Plus ivory, green, pink, yellow, and orange — so you'll always find the right shade

All our coloured cake fondant products use high-quality pigmentation to give you a deep, consistent colour without overworking the paste.

Tips for Using Fondant Icing

Covering a Cake with Fondant

Start with a smooth, crumb-free base. Apply a layer of buttercream or ganache to your cake first — this gives the fondant something to grip and helps create a flawless finish. Roll your ready-to-roll fondant to about 3–4mm thickness, drape it carefully over the cake, then smooth from the top down using a cake smoother. Trim the excess at the base with a sharp knife.

Check our Comprehensive Guide to Using Fondant Icing for step-by-step instructions, or use our Fondant Coverage Chart to work out exactly how much you'll need.

Making Fondant Decorations

Use cookie cutters, embossers, and sculpting tools to bring your ideas to life. Sculpting fondant is best for three-dimensional decorations like fondant flowers, leaves, and figurines. For flat decorations on top of cakes, rolled fondant works perfectly. You can also paint cured fondant pieces with edible food colouring for extra detail.

Storing Fondant

Always store unused fondant in an airtight bag or container at room temperature — avoid the fridge, as condensation can make it sticky. Kneading it gently before use will restore its pliability.

What's the difference between fondant and sugarpaste?

They're the same thing. Sugarpaste is the term commonly used in the UK and by many Australian decorators, while fondant (or fondant icing) is the more widely used name in Australia. Both refer to the smooth, pliable icing used to cover and decorate cakes.

What is the best fondant for covering cakes?

For covering cakes, ready-to-roll fondant is the best choice — it gives a smooth, seamless finish and is easy to work with. Bakels Pettinice is a professional-grade favourite used by cake decorators across Australia. It's available in white and a full range of colours.

Do you sell buttercream icing?

Yes! In addition to our fondant range, we stock ready-made buttercream icing from brands including Cake Cream and Over The Top. Browse the full range above.

Can I use fondant for fondant flowers and figurines?

Yes, but we recommend using sculpting fondant or decorator's dough for three-dimensional decorations like fondant flowers and figurines. It has a firmer consistency that holds its shape as it dries, unlike softer ready-to-roll fondant which is better suited for covering cakes.
