Cake Boss Fabulous Fondant
What it is
Fabulous Fondant by Cake Boss is a pliable, sweet icing made from sugar, corn syrup, and other ingredients. It is designed to create a smooth, professional-looking finish on cakes and other baked goods. This fondant is known for its ability to be rolled out thinly and draped over cakes, covering imperfections and providing a clean canvas for decoration. It comes in various colors, allowing for creative designs.
How people cook with it
This fondant is ideal for covering cakes for special occasions or for creating decorative elements. It offers a versatile medium for bakers to express their creativity.
- Covering tiered cakes
- Creating edible flowers
- Making decorative cut-outs
- Achieving a smooth cake finish
To use, knead the fondant until it is soft and pliable. Roll it out on a surface lightly dusted with powdered sugar or cornstarch to prevent sticking. Drape the rolled fondant over your cake, smoothing it down from the top and sides to eliminate air bubbles and wrinkles. Trim any excess with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Fondant can also be molded or cut into shapes for additional embellishments, such as bows, ribbons, or figures.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to buttercream or ganache, fondant provides a firmer, more stable surface that holds its shape well. It does not melt easily in warm temperatures and offers a completely smooth, matte finish, unlike the softer texture and sheen of most frostings.
Who it is for
Home bakers and professional cake decorators use this fondant to achieve polished and elaborate cake designs.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused fondant tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and then in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid refrigeration, as this can cause the fondant to become sticky or dry out. Properly stored, it can be kept for several weeks.
