Etymology

The word 'fondant' comes from the French word 'fondre,' which means 'to melt.' This reflects the texture and pliability of the icing when it is prepared and used. Fondant has a long history, dating back to the 16th century when it was first used in Europe as a method for preserving cakes and enhancing their aesthetic appeal. Over the years, it evolved from a simple sugar paste to the sophisticated and versatile medium used in modern cake decorating. Today, fondant is a staple in the world of baking, particularly for creating custom cakes for celebrations and events.
