Chocolate Fondant

Fondant icing

Fondant icing, also commonly just called fondant, is an icing used to decorate or sculpt cakes and pastries. It is made from sugar, water, gelatin, vegetable oil or shortening, and glycerol. It does not have the texture of most icings; rolled fondant is akin to modelling clay, while poured fondant is a thick liquid. The flavor and texture are generally considered a weak point, as it is sweet and chalky. It is generally chosen for its appearance rather than flavor.
