“We don’t make our own Fondant.  Fondant is hard on mixers, and for the trouble, it’s better to just go the store and buy it.  Fondant is basically pure sugar.  You can add candy flavorings to alter the taste if you like.  We tend to think of fondant as the canvas that we decorate, but it also acts as an airtight seal that keeps the cake inside fresh and moist.  When it comes time to eat the cake, you can peel the fondant off like you would an orange peel. “ Duff Goldman, Ace of Cakes, on the blatantly grotesque taste of fondant icing.
