There are different types fondants:
1. Poured fondant is a confection cream that is used as filling or coating for cakes, pastries, and candies or sweets. It is sugar and water cooked to a soft-ball stage that is cooled slightly in its simplest form. Lemon is sometimes added to the mixture to add for taste.
2. Rolled fondant or fondant icing is not the same material as poured fondant is commonly used to decorate wedding cakes. Examples are gelatin and food-grade glycerine which help keep the sugar pliable and creates dough-like consistency. You can also make a powdered sugar and melted marshmallows. It is rolled out like a pie crust and use to cover the cake and gives the cake a smooth appearance.

Fondant has grown in popularity with television shows such as Food Network Cake Challenges and the Cake Boss, respectively. These shows demonstrate the various ways fondant is used for decorating purposes. However, in these shows the focus is not on the taste of the cake, rather on the aesthetics. If you are concerned about the taste of your cakes, try some fondant first and then make your decision.
