Fondant icing

Fondant icing is a special kind of sugar dough that pastry chefs use to decorate cakes. It comes in different colors and flavors, just like Play-Doh!

To make fondant icing, chefs mix together powdered sugar, water, and glucose syrup until it forms a sticky, stretchy dough. Then, they add food coloring and flavorings to make it look and taste just right.

To put fondant icing on a cake, chefs roll it out like a big, flat pancake and lay it over the cake like a blanket. They smooth it down so it covers every part of the cake, and then they use special tools to shape and mold it into decorations like flowers, animals, and letters.

Fondant icing may look like a toy, but it's actually edible! That means you can take a bite out of the decorations on your cake and enjoy their sweet flavor. Yum!
