Thanks to the many cake decorating shows that are on these days, people everywhere are becoming more and more interested in creating beautiful cakes for special occasions. Even amateurs are stepping up and producing gorgeous cakes with stunning details and adventurous structures. No longer are cake choices limited to the flavor of icing and color of the cake; now you can choose between fillings, types of icings, decorative pieces, and even glitter and gold dusting accents. What is becoming increasingly common, too, is the use of fondant.
Fondant is a creamy white sugar that, when it dries, becomes stiff and smooth. Fondant is particularly useful in cake decorating because it can give an unblemished, smooth surface which is ideal for showcasing details and accents on the cake. Different kinds of fondant exist and these include poured fondant, rolled fondant, and sculpted fondant.
