fondant cake
Glossy frosted dessert
A fondant cake is a cake covered with fondant—a smooth, pliable sugar paste that creates a flawless, almost porcelain-like surface.
The covering allows for elaborate decorations and sharp edges impossible with buttercream alone: The wedding featured a five-tier fondant cake with hand-sculpted flowers.
Fondant looks elegant but divides opinion—some find it too sweet or waxy to eat.
