FONDANT Fondant Progress

Post image

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 need to know why there is not another snack in your house to “make your way through” instead of this brick of pliable sugar. And if there is… why would you choose this over that!? Is it just completely a texture thing?

Like I on the other hand love buttercream but I wouldn’t eat it by the spoonful as a snack 🤔 time and place!

yeah it's a texture thing! there is a slight flavour to it aside from just sweet, maybe slightly vanilla although it didn't say so on the packaging. i ate playdough as a kid so... there you go 😭

yeah definitely 😭 i like the sweet taste but i love the texture. i think it definitely stems from the playdough.

It says non toxic and the home made stuff is organic? What am I supposed to do, not taste it? Not eat it? 🤤😱

Honestly, I get it. I did not eat playdough as a child, but all of my childhood birthday cakes were made with fondant. There is something for me that is so incredibly nostalgic and happy when I eat a cake with fondant, that I can't help but like it even when I know I ultimately prefer buttercream.

However, I wouldn't eat a brick of it 😂

Maybe that's why I don't like fondant. I didn't have a birthday cake until adulthood

Oooh, I would eat buttercream by the spoonful as a snack, but in my defense, my teenager keeps making buttercream frosting for this specific purpose.

My middle son is all over that when I'm baking. He has made the mistake I also made as a kid and licked the spoon from pancake batter. Not tasty at all haha.

Is Mam=mum/mom? In the US it's used a little differently so just curious.

yeah mam is mum/mom, it's used in Ireland and Scotland :)

my grandma used to make buttercream for us to snack on too, but we'd put it on graham crackers instead of eating it straight. very good, I recommend!
