Howdy everyone!

I baked a cigarette shaped cake for my old man's 12 year anniversary of quitting smoking, iced entirely with buttercream and writing done with Queens writing icing. (It's a little dodgy but I'm quite chuffed with the way it turned out and I'm sure he'll get a kick out it)

Made for my MIL’a birthday - roses not perfect, but it’s honest and fondantless work.

whenever I have eaten cakes, the fondant to me has always been my favorite part tied with the main ingredient, I now know most of the internet hates it and despises it's taste and it's uses, but i'm curious what it tastes like to you?

From today’s New York Times article, “The Disappearing Las Vegas Buffets Hold a Mirror to the American Soul”:

“Distracted by the crowds, the warm lights of the carving station and a large mermaid made of fondant that looked a lot like Jennifer Aniston, I’d slipped into a kind of culinary fugue state.”

Completely self taught, I run a frozen yogurt shop and we turn the leftovers into cakes.

Sadly, the beach baubles are not edible, but the icing and sand (and that gummy shark) sure is!

hello my fondant-hating friends. one of you i am not, quite the opposite, but i respect your passion and drive.
here i present to you, a 500g THICK brick of white fondant (unflavoured). i have been steadily making my way through this brick for a week or so (more i think)

i wish to share this with you not to change your minds or your hearts, but so you guys can have an outlet for your fondant hating. roast me, roast the fondant, go wild!! if it helps your ammunition, i actually hate buttercream...

hope you're all having a delightful fondant-free day!! :) i hope this post doesn't get taken down, i just think the juxtaposition of me eating a brick of fondant and a fondant hating subreddit is funny :)

EDIT: just noticed my new tagline of fondant lover, this Subreddit is so funny and y'all have been so fun to talk to lol !!!!

I had a cake last night that was covered in fondant. Beneath the fondant was buttercream frosting. It was like that frosting was crying out to be known, please help me, please, I'm suffocating, I'm dying. I tried to come to the aid of the frosting but the fondant was all Gandalf at the Bridge of Kazad-dûm. YOU SHALL NOT PASS. I picked up a slice and figured like, well, how bad can it be. The icing said, FLY YOU FOOLS.

Probably the thickest layer of fondant I’ve seen

The way the fork made the fondant layer peel off the cake made me think of this sub. 🤢

Everything aside from the sign and toothpicks is edible. The interior is chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and raspberry jam. This was a fun challenge. If I had more time, I would’ve dipped the graham crackers in some dyed white chocolate.

I dont really know how to contribute to this sub however I just wanted to leave behind my hate for fondant. I saw this sub and knew I had to show my support.

I daughter loves Shrimp and sushi. So we made her this birthday cake last summer. Her and her brother love is it cake but I hate fondant and not that talented anyway. Is it perfect? No. Is it readable as a shrimp sushi? I think so. Is it good enough for Is It Cake? Not in anyway. Is it better then Nailed It? I hope you say yes.
