fondant icing
Rolled cake covering
Fondant icing is a smooth, pliable sugar paste used to cover cakes and create decorations.
Unlike buttercream, it dries to a matte, porcelain-like finish and can be rolled out in sheets to drape over cakes for a flawless surface.
Fondant also refers to a softer, pourable icing used to glaze pastries: The éclair was topped with chocolate fondant.
