fondant
Cake covering sheet
Fondant is a smooth, pliable sugar paste used in candy-making and cake decorating.
Rolled fondant covers cakes in a flawless, almost sculptural finish: She draped the wedding cake in white fondant.
Poured fondant is softer and coats petit fours or fills chocolates.
The texture is divisive—some find it cloyingly sweet, others appreciate how it takes color and holds intricate shapes.
