What it is

Fondant sugar is a very finely powdered sugar, typically sucrose, that often includes a small amount of an anti-caking agent such as cornstarch. This fine grinding process gives it a smooth texture and allows it to dissolve quickly.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use fondant sugar primarily as a sweetener and to create smooth, stable icings, glazes, and confectionery coatings. Its fine texture helps prevent grittiness in products like fondant, frostings, and dessert toppings, and it is also found in baked goods.

Health notes

Fondant sugar is primarily sucrose, which the FDA generally recognizes as safe (GRAS). Like all sugars, it provides calories. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. JECFA has evaluated sucrose.
