What it is
Sugar fondant is a type of icing or candy made primarily from sugar, water, and sometimes a small amount of fat or other ingredients. It is prepared by cooking a sugar syrup to a specific temperature, then cooling and beating it to create a smooth, creamy, and often opaque texture.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add sugar fondant to provide a smooth, decorative coating for cakes, pastries, and candies. It can be poured, rolled, or molded to create various finishes and decorations, and it contributes sweetness to the product.
Health notes
Sugar fondant is a food ingredient and not regulated as an additive by the FDA. Its primary component is sugar, which is a source of 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 and EFSA have not evaluated sugar fondant as a specific food additive; however, sugar itself is a widely consumed food component.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. However, specific formulations may contain other ingredients that are allergens, such as milk or soy.
