Q: What is rolled fondant icing?
- Fondant is a pliable sugar dough that can be molded to create edible decorations or rolled over a cake to create a smooth finish. It can be dyed to match your event colors, invitations, etc. When fondant is rolled on a cake as icing, it keeps the cake moist and fresher longer. Fondant is usually vanilla flavored, but is also available in white chocolate or milk chocolate.
