What is fondant icing?
Rolled fondant or fondant icing, is commonly used to decorate wedding cakes and other specialty cakes. It includes gelatin (or agar in vegetarian recipes) and food-grade glycerine, which keep the sugar pliable and creates a dough-like consistency. "Homemade" fondant is usually made using powdered sugar and melted marshmallows. Rolled fondant is rolled out like a pie crust and used to cover the cake. It is applied over one or more coatings of frosting and gives a cake a very smooth finished look.
