Yay or Nay?
Fondant is becoming more and more popular in the U.S. being shown on most cakes in bridal magazines. There are brands of fondant that are absolutely delicious and there are brands that are among the nastiest products ever mass-marketed. There also is homemade fondant. Just like buttercream, there are many variations upon the recipe, so be sure if you are considering the use of fondant that you also sample your baker’s fondant to know which they are using. Fondant is meant to be eaten. There will be a layer of buttercream between the cake and the fondant because the fondant needs something to stick to in order to adhere to the cake. Some bakers like working with fondant, others not so much.
