Fondant icings could be rolled, cut, shaped, sculptured and molded with the skills of a skilled baker. Masterpieces are mostly created with fondant icing.
We have various types of fondant which includes rolled fondant, poured fondant, sculpting fondant and gumpaste fondant. Unlike modern fondant icing, in early stages fondant were just warm liquid that small sized cakes were dipped in it. Fondant icing has a very strong sugary taste and flavorings were often added into the warm fondant liquid. Sometimes, bakers would add marshmallows or other frosting ingredients to mild the sugary taste of the fondant liquid.
