Rolled Fondant

Rolled fondant, fondant icing, or pettinice, which is not the same material as poured fondant, is commonly used to decorate wedding cakes. It includes gelatin (or agar in vegetarian recipes) and food-grade glycerine, which keeps the sugar pliable and creates a dough-like consistency.



It can also be made using powdered sugar and melted marshmallows. Rolled fondant is rolled out like a pie crust and used to cover the cake.


In recent years, rolled fondant has become a more popular way to decorate cakes. It is seen as much easier to use, as well as to be creative with, than the butter cream icing traditionally used to decorate cakes.


There are several different brands of fondant, and they can be found in major retailers as well as in specialty cake stores or craft stores.

Alternatively, numerous recipes for making homemade fondant are available.
