Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Cook's Guide entry for Fondant along with all the Fondant containing recipes presented on this site, with 3 recipes in total.

This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Fondant recipes added to this site.

These recipes, all contain Fondant as a major wild food ingredient.

Fondant is made from sugar, water and cream of tartar or liquid glucose, which are boiled together until the syrup reaches what is called soft ball stage (when a spoonful of the sugar syrup is dropped into a bowl of cold water it will form a soft ball when rolled between the fingers).

The mixture is kneaded into a smooth dough and then colourings or flavours such as peppermint, lemon or coffee, can be added. It can be rolled into shapes to make sweets or used warm and poured into moulds then coated in melted chocolate. It's often used as an icing or coating for small fruits and is used to ice or decorate cakes. Fondant is especially used to decorate wedding cakes.
