Fondant icing, also commonly called simply fondant (/ˈfɒndənt/, French:[fɔ̃dɑ̃]ⓘ; French for 'melting'), is an icing used to decorate or sculpt cakes and pastries. It is made from sugar, water, gelatin, vegetable oil or shortening, and glycerol.[1] It does not have the texture of most icings; rolled fondant is akin to modelling clay,[2] while poured fondant is a thick liquid. The flavor is generally considered a weak point, as it is sweet and chalky.[3] It is generally chosen for its appearance rather than the way it tastes.[4]
The word, in French, means 'melting,' coming from the same root as fondue and foundry.
