Fondant on cake??

[Blue eyes white dragon]

I personally dont care for it very much, but if it's made good and not too much, I dont mind.

[Purple Red Panda]

I'm rather partial to it.

[Faleeria]

It looks pretty but I really don't like the taste of it. It's too sweet for me, to be honest.

[krusk]

Honestly not a big fan of icing in general, just like the actual cake

[Guest]

I like it, but most cakes have too much of it. This is true of other types of icing too. 

[CrimsonFox]

I don't dislike fondant, but I prefer buttercream frosting way more 😋

[SpaceDustbin]

It usually looks prettier than it tastes. I do like fondant that's not overly processed and where it actually serves a purpose for the taste, rather than those cakes that look really fancy but don't taste like much. 

 

Give me a good buttercream or frosting over fondant

[Guest]

I don’t really think about the cake, I just eat it. 😛

 

[fooledbysecrecy]

it's ok if it's not too much, i prefer buttercream tho.

[Grey-Ace Ventura]

Other because I generally don't like cake

[Sam Spade]

Looks great, tastes terrible - too dry and sugary. I don't even like buttercream, it's too sweet.

 

Give me chocolate ganache or cream cheese frosting any day! 🍫 

[Morays]

To be honest, it's one of multiple reasons I prefer pie to cake in most cases.

[uniQChick]

Not a fan of fondant icing, too much sugar for my taste. I prefer buttercream icing! 💘

[Skycaptain]

I've posted "other" because I've forgotten what it tastes like 

[Red Ivy]

I don't really eat cake ever so I've never tried fondant but I've heard it can be pretty unnecessarily sweet and dense.

[everywhere and nowhere]

I'm not sure what exactly is fondant. But I generally like some sweet topping on a cake.

 

My mom made me honey cake for Christmas and the cream was wonderful. Recipe for a smaller amount:

1 cup of 36% sweetish cream

small package of mascarpone cheese

liquid honey

Whip the cream until more or less firm, then carefully mix it with mascarpone and honey. Voila, the cream is ready.

[Fell]

if I make the fondant from marshmallow, maybe. But not always.  

[NewStart]

Yes, for looks.  No, for taste.  Although either way I’m not a huge fan of frosted type cakes.

[Raindrops]

I was all about it as a kid. As an adult, it hurts my teeth. 😟

[TrustTheCloak]

I'm not extremely fond of fondant, or even icing for that matter. I absolutely love the cake part, and a little fondant/icing is great with it, but it can get too much and too sweet quite quickly for my tastes.

[Phalena]

I never get to use fondant because in my wider family, the different colours are seen as "unnatural" and seem "poisonous" to them. I on the other hand love to decorate. I like the process of making cake much more than eating it, overall.

[Guest]

I am fond of fondant.

[Karst]

In my opinion, too much fondant can easily ruin an otherwise good cake.

[Steel13]

It's rare that I like fondant. I don't know why people don't use buttercream or mousse frostings, they taste so much better usually.

[riskygamble]

buttercream > fondant any day

[GingerRose]

Yes. But once when I was little I ate a whole pack of fondant before my mum could put it on the cake. REGRET

[verily-forsooth-egads]

I don't think I've ever had it. And yes, I've been aware of what it is and what it looks like for a few years now, so it's not that.

[Homer]

I'm afondantual.

[Knight of Cydonia]

There should be an option for "looks nice but tastes awful".
