Fondant Wedding Cake

Fondant gives cakes a smooth, flawless matte finish, making it a great base for further decorations - silk ribbons, beading and intricate piping designs. It can be folded, pleated or draped, and used for ribbons, flowers and other decoration. Fondant is like sugar play dough, it is rolled out in sheets and applied to a cake that has been coated in Buttercream. Fondant cakes are more expensive than simpler buttercream cakes due to the time and care in their preparation.

It has a somewhat marshmallowy kind of feel in the mouth and the texture is somewhat like play dough or pie crust in handling. Rolled fondant is rolled out just like pie crust and is then draped over the cake and then smoothed and trimmed. That is the why it doesn't have a top border but instead has a smooth edge. They tend to be more expensive than their buttercream cousins but if it is the look you want you won't be happy with anything else.
