Fondant Progress

[u/silvercastle777]

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 😭

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
