Fondant is a typical cake icing made with sugary, syrup and gelatin. It is cooked to a specific temperature , poured over a marble slab, sprinkled with water (to prevent crystallization) and then kneaded to a smooth soft paste. It is often colored and flavored and used for candies and cakes. It can be rolled out and its soft qualities enable it to be draped like fabric.
Fondant can be used to make small figures, banners, bows, and just about anything you can think of. When making these types of items in fondant you allow them to dry like candies. When you are using fondant to cover or drape a cake you want it to stay soft and slightly moist. This improves the quality of the cake's look and taste.
In the past fondant was kind of waxy with no real taste. In the cake world many people have worked very hard to improve fondant's bad reputation. Now fondant can be soft, sweet, and very delicious. We make our fondant with patience, experience, and the best ingredients. You will never find the old style fondant at Sweet Dash Cakes bakery.
Fondant is now very popular with all types of cakes. People now use it on not just wedding cakes, but birthday, baby shower, and anniversary cakes. It is very popular with custom bakeries also because it allows us to make creations that were never before possible with just icing and cake.
