How does rolled fondant differ from traditional buttercream?
Rolled fondant is a seamless sugarpaste covering on the cake that provides a smooth, elegant look. It is more commonly used in Europe but is gaining popularity in this country. Rolled fondant is available in the sugarpaste variety (pure white), dark chocolate or a white chocolate. Rolled fondant differs from traditional buttercream because of its texture and cost. A rolled fondant cake is approximately 70-75% higher in cost but many people feel the look is well worth it.
