Fondant is the best part of a cake

[u/KeyboardOccupant]

I love fondant. I like it much better than buttercream, marzipan, etc. as cake icing, but I also just like it on its own. Sometimes, I take it off the cake and eat it by itself.

Whenever someone says a fondant cake looks like it tastes amazing, but it's probably just sugary play-doh, I'm like, yeah, and that's why it's so good.

I love when someone has a fondant cake at a party, cause everyone lets me eat their fondant.

u/KeyboardOccupant, there weren't enough votes to determine the quality of your post...

[u/chriseldonhelm]

Its just sugar with no flavor. Which makes it the worst part

[u/atomacheart → u/chriseldonhelm]

As someone without a sense of smell. That sound delicious.

[u/CategoryKiwi → u/atomacheart]

I have (almost) no sense of smell and I fuckin’ hate fondant. 

Do you like eating straight spoonfulls of white sugar??

(Also /r/FondantHate plug)

[u/atomacheart → u/CategoryKiwi]

Is it possible to say yes without seeming like a freak?

Probably not.

Yes

[u/CategoryKiwi → u/atomacheart]

I mean, fair enough.  No judgement from me.  I respect it.

[u/HeresW0nderwall]

I also really like fondant lmao. I love that it’s just sugar and I love the consistency of it.

[u/KeyboardOccupant → u/HeresW0nderwall]

One of us! One of us!

[u/babyfeet1]

It's good for your coat.

Take my upvote, you ungulate.

[u/dreamsinred]

Did you also eat play-doh growing up?

[u/KeyboardOccupant → u/dreamsinred]

I swear I didn't lol

[u/CategoryKiwi → u/dreamsinred]

Whoa whoa uncalled for.  I sure did, and it was delicious.  But that’s ‘cause playdoh is salty.  Fondant is way worse than playdoh, and I’m offended by the comparison.

[u/Otherwise_Fined]

You seem like the kind of person that would eat play-doh and call it diet fondant.

[u/KeyboardOccupant → u/Otherwise_Fined]

Hahaha

[u/CandidateTerrible479 → u/Otherwise_Fined]

😂

[u/Freign]

Oh I'm upvoting you, no doubt about that, but I've also called the police

[u/Tool460002]

I think I'd rather eat the candles on top. Upvote.

[u/insomnimax_99]

What’s appetising about sugary play dough?

The little non-sugar taste that it does have is close to play dough taste. It’s a completely unappetising taste and texture.

[u/Key-Shift5076]

Freshly made marshmallow fondant is about the least egregious of the fondants, and even then it doesn’t hold a candle to a delicately flavored almond buttercream or whipped cream.

[u/HistoricalTowel1127]

I would rather eat the fork than fondant. Have a vote.

[u/Lev_TO]

Finally, a 10th dentist take I can upvote.

Is it that crazy of a take? I hate all those options. Fresh whipped cream, ganashe and meringue are where it's at.

But I'll take a cheesecake with a compote or lemon curd over any kinda sponge cake.

[u/Voyager5555]

This is an appalling take.

[u/The_Pizza_Saga]

I don't like any type of frosting or icing, it's all too sickly sweet for me. I usually decline cake, except the illustrious pineapple upside-down cake.

[u/Elegant_Soup_1999]

I used to eat everyone's fondant when I was a kid. I'd save it for last so I could savour it. I absolutely agree with you.

[u/dreamsinred]

Take my upvote; truly a good use of this sub!

[u/trunks111]

fellow fondant vulture 

[u/Dave09091]

its palatable only if its almost freezing which turns it into slightly shittier ice cream. Other than that its eh imo.

[u/Pixel_Forest]

You get an upvote because this is truly an unpopular opinion.

Fondant is awful.

[u/LSP141]

Wow you really are a degenerate, definitely upvote worthy

[u/KeyboardOccupant → u/LSP141]

Lol thank you 😅

[u/ComeOnUpToTheHaus]

Nope! Glad I could help.

[u/halflngs]

I do prefer buttercream but I love fondant too! the cake itself I can generally take or leave depending on the quality, but I'll eat the fondant any day.

[u/VisionAri_VA]

I’ve had good fondant and bad fondant. Sadly, bad fondant is the majority. 

[u/Rumple-_-Goocher]

I have always LOVED fondant. It really is the best part of a cake.

[u/ConseulaVonKrakken]

Respectfully, fondant tastes like what I imagine dog shit to taste like.

Edit: changing an autocorrect

[u/DrMux]

I guess you could say you're fond of it.

Also upvoted because 1) this is the kind of post that's actually appropriate for this sub and 2) you a freak (in the kindest sense of the word)

[u/kuribohchan]

I also love fondant. The chewiness is just on point 👌

[u/mAmsSsSS]

I don’t know why people hate it so much, it really is the best part of a cake.

[u/KikiCorwin]

Gag. Gimme white mountain or a good cream cheese frosting any day, though a nut-free version of that coconut/pecan icing would be awesome too.

[u/dreamyduskywing]

Good post. Fondant is blech.

[u/CandidateTerrible479]

Why tho? It's just sugar. And it doesn't even taste good.
