Fondant

Fondant is a soft, sweet sugar paste commonly used in patisserie and cake decorating as an icing, coating or to model decorative shapes. It’s essentially a concentrated sugar preparation — containing about 92.4g of sugar per 100g — and is prized for its smooth finish and ease of shaping. Nutritionally, fondant contributes almost only simple sugars and very little protein, fiber or fat, so it provides energy but few vitamins or minerals; it’s typically used sparingly for decoration or as a sweet coating. Given its highly processed nature and minimal nutrient content, consider it an occasional treat rather than a regular source of nourishment.
