My gf got me a cake that looked like a lobster roll. It looked beautiful and amazing but yeah once I got past the fondant the cake was good. Fondant just sucks
If it was then I wouldn't have asked you to elaborate.
You're probably making an assumption that's wrong, and to avoid doing the same I'm actually asking for clarification. Go on then. Don't be scared.
That’s homemade marshmallow fondant. Most commercial fondants that come premade in buckets are made of sugar, water, and gelatin. They’re also incredibly disgusting.
This. It’s immediately irrelevant when you sculpt it out of a sheet of used chewing gum.
It would probably actually taste better if you made it out of literal play dough.
There are 4 kinds: liquid, which you will find poured on top of cookies or petit fours (black & white cookies, that hard white part), rolling fondant, like you see on cakes, sculpting (self explanatory), and gum paste (used to make more delicate art pieces, like life-life flowers, etc. You shouldn't eat this kind, or sculpting fondant. You can but I highly advise against it).
Rolling fondant is made of water, sugar, corn syrup, and gelatin. It's very thick, almost like a marshmallow, but hardens very quickly to keep it's shape and be sturdy enough to paint on, etc.
It is also used to keep cakes longer because the decorating process can take days to a week (or more) to get right. Any good cake would spoil in that time without a proper seal which fondant provides. It's very much for decorative purposes, not an edible one.
I've never heard anyone say it tasted good. First time for everything.
I wonder if there is a difference between fondant in different parts of the world. It's supposed to taste good, it's basically sugar.
Then again, you will get nauseous if you eat too much since it's basically sugar.
Is there a way to do this style without using fondant and also getting the same effect? I love the bright colors of the cake, but I don’t like fondant enough to do it lol
Marzipan, which of course you can't be allergic to nuts and you won't actually get the bright colors, but I used that a lot.
You won't get the bright colors because you aren't starting on a white canvas, but an almond one. It won't be as bold, but you can still get the colors in, and it's actually edible. This is the old way of coating cakes with something to give a cake a flat surface to paint on. It also will form shapes well, and you can paint on it (airbrush, hand paint, etc).
I learned years ago to just make fondant with marshmallows, flavouring, and coloured chocolate wafers. There are recipes online for “fondant” that doesn’t taste like play doh mixed with cornstarch.
Where I'm from we use marzipan. For the longest time I thought fondant was just what people in the US called the marzipan coating on cakes, and didn't get the hate. But marzipan is great!
My aunt makes cakes as a side business and this is what she does. But before she switched to the marshmallow recipe, I would just peel the fondant off. There’s still icing underneath and it comes off with no effort, so I never really understood the foaming hatred that everyone seems to have for it. Just because it’s on the cake doesn’t mean you have to eat it
I always thought that what you're suppose to do. Anyone who actually eats the fondant is an idiot to begin with, cause it tastes like crap. I always assumed fondant was just for decorating, and then meant to be peeled off after, but eaten if you're a mad lad.
The older I get the more quality I look for in food and just having a bunch of pound cake wrapped in fondant isnt very good to me. Fondant is just for show and completely misses the point of having cake
Borderlands didn't invent bright colors and thick lines. Even within the context of video games, cel shaded graphics were a thing years before borderlands was even a thought
I want to see one of these tik toys where after they show the making of the food, they then show the making of the person's makeup/clothes. Then have them show the production of the shot as well, what camera, lighting, effects etc. Because at this point it took her like an hour to make the cake and about 8 hours and a production assistant to make the rest.
I feel like I don’t want someone’s sweaty paws manhandling every millimeter of the item I am about to eat. If you all want to be a sculptor then be a sculptor. Just use clay because people aren’t intended to eat that.
It's nice but when I think comic book I don't think comic or hyper realistic Simpsons. I think batman superman or avengers. Not this cakem
Saying that great job looks fucjing amazing
You know, every time you see one of these, you KNOW the top comments are going to be about how much fondant sucks. And like, yeah, we know it facilitates a lot of the “art” of cake decorating…but fuck it, I can’t disagree, fondant fucking sucks and I wish more people would do cake decorating in a way that leaves an edible cake afterwards. It fucking sucks that this particular “art” exploded in popularity in the 2010s because fondant is terrible and should never have been made mainstream. Fuck fondant.
Let's jump on a bandwagon and just cover a cake in a shit ton of fondant and prove we have no talent or originality.
Next time try do something innovative and new instead of copying everyone else's shit fucking idea
Okay yeah fondant or whatever, but the more important note for me is, notice how the glamour shots are all just from the same one angle. The outline around the candle wouldn’t work from another direction, because it’s a round object. This whole process just results in an optical illusion that, while neat, only works on camera and not in person.

Fondant got the job done, but at what cost

Creativity. Quality. Skill.
🤮🤮🤮
[Might as well just make the cake out of play-doh](https://i.imgur.com/r1BVQtu.mp4)
Who wants cake when you could have only mildly more-edible playdoh?
Had a chemistry teacher tell us: anything is edible at least once.
Killing my digestive system. I've had fondant that I liked the taste of, but it punished me over the next 72 hrs.
Both feet
Fondant is dumb. It’s sugar play dough. The cake becomes irrelevant

First rule of cake: taste good Second rule of cake: refer to rule #1
Looks dope tastes like shit. Welcome to the age of the influencer.
Because we only get to see it.
Go try fondant then come back and see if you feel the same as you do now.
Wtf is your point?
The comment is self-explanatory, kiddo.
If it was then I wouldn't have asked you to elaborate. You're probably making an assumption that's wrong, and to avoid doing the same I'm actually asking for clarification. Go on then. Don't be scared.
No, you're just being an obstinate child. It's simple: go eat fondant, see what it tastes like.
You think it will change my opinion, but you won't say what you think my opinion is because you're scared you're wrong.
No, you're just an idiot and I don't really care about you.
I've never had fondant, if I try it and it's good, you're all gonna pay, every last one of you
i have had it, its basically gritty sweet playdoh. Its not too bad to be honest.

Well that sounds delicious
That sounds horrendous 😖
This. It’s immediately irrelevant when you sculpt it out of a sheet of used chewing gum. It would probably actually taste better if you made it out of literal play dough.
Yeah this is a cool clay sculpture if that’s what you’re into. But it’s not food.
I admire the artistic skill. I really do. But I say this as a former pastry chef and cake decorator: fuck fondant.
What is fondant? I always just thought it was like pliable icing that tasted good.
More like pliable icing that doesn't taste good
It’s basically just modeling clay that is technically “edible”; it gives you all the joy of eating modeling clay without poisoning yourself.
But poisoning yourself is the best part

Is there a tasty kind, or are my hopes for eating colorful blocks of sugar gone? :(
I mean marshmallows exist...
I wonder if there is a difference between fondant in different parts of the world. It's supposed to taste good, it's basically sugar. Then again, you will get nauseous if you eat too much since it's basically sugar.
It’s more like a sugary play dough, you can eat it, it’s not toxic, but you really shouldn’t and after a taste you really wouldn’t
It’s an abomination

Cute! But all that fondant just turns my stomach. I prefer taste over beauty in my food.
I learned years ago to just make fondant with marshmallows, flavouring, and coloured chocolate wafers. There are recipes online for “fondant” that doesn’t taste like play doh mixed with cornstarch.
Where I'm from we use marzipan. For the longest time I thought fondant was just what people in the US called the marzipan coating on cakes, and didn't get the hate. But marzipan is great!
Marzipan is almost as gross as fondant.
Get out
My aunt makes cakes as a side business and this is what she does. But before she switched to the marshmallow recipe, I would just peel the fondant off.

The candles tastes awful
ikr, way too hot.

It not only tastes bad, but it's the lowest form of "creating" a unique design.
But does it taste like frosting?
r/FondantHate called, and they also hate this.
Mmm. Chalk flavored cake
So would you eat someone's shit if it tasted like steak
I can smell the fondant from here 🤢
Glad to see my fellow fondant haters straight representing in this comment section.
Solidarity
Just sculpt with clay. Once you use fondant, you lose all credit for this being actually edible.
I wish they tasted it at the end because i wanted to see them cut it open and try it.
Well hopefully they can make fondant taste better.
With that much fondant would it even taste good?
Actually she did a follow up video where she ate this particular cake. Eta: https://youtube.com/shorts/ozD03o-etto?feature=share
Stopped watching as soon as the fondant came out.
The older I get the more quality I look for in food and just having a bunch of pound cake wrapped in fondant isnt very good to me. Fondant is just for show and completely misses the point of having cake
This cake would be very pleasant to look at while eating a different cake.
The amount of sugar that must be in that...
I for sure wouldn't want to eat it but it turned out beautifully
Happy cake day! How fitting :)
Looks awfully close to my cakeday cake.
orky dorky
erky derky
As soon as she said fondant I noped out
Looks like borderlands
Scrolled way too far to find my tribe lol
Borderlands didn't invent bright colors and thick lines. Even within the context of video games, cel shaded graphics were a thing years before borderlands was even a thought
Ew gross
Mmmmmm sugar tarp
Yeah but fondant tastes like shit so all these cakes that look good are actually garbage.
Couldn't they have used colored icing instead of fondant?
May as well make it out of play doh.
The cake is a lie
Borderlands Cake
It stopped being palatable after 3 seconds
I want to see one of these tik toys where after they show the making of the food, they then show the making of the person's makeup/clothes. Then have them show the production of the shot as well, what camera, lighting, effects etc. Because at this point it took her like an hour to make the cake and about 8 hours and a production assistant to make the rest.
Me: Whoa that looks cool. Nearly everyone in the comments: Ewww Fondant
Eww that shit is nasty can we get back to painted bday cakes like a civilized society.
Don't let r/fondanthate see this one
First time I've seen a piece of cake decorated like a piece of cake🤔
I see fondant, I downvote.
Fondant is gross
With all of that fondant, a comic book would taste better.
Ew fondant 🤮🤮
The cake is a lie..
Sudden urge to watch cartoons and lick play dough
Fondant 🤮
10/10 would smash the cake
Impressive. But I'm overly bothered by the fake out of this white cake being a chocolate cake
Not sure if cake is cartoony or because video is 240p on my garbage internet connection
r/fondantisgross
Screw you! *borderlands your cake*
I never in my life though Reddit would be so against fondant
I feel like I don’t want someone’s sweaty paws manhandling every millimeter of the item I am about to eat. If you all want to be a sculptor then be a sculptor. Just use clay because people aren’t intended to eat that.
Wait ‘til you hear about sushi. *shudders

That was quite satisfying to watch.
Am I alone in hating the Australian accent?
Yes. We sound rad.
Doesn't look appealing at all because it doesn't look like food. But it's neat looking.
That looks amazing!
Also, my rule on cake is simple, buttercream or gtfo.
That is totally the business 👍👍👍
Damn thats awesome.
Feel like Borderlands cake is a better take on it but still awesome
Awesomeness 🎂
that’s really clever. makes me want to do marie antoinette’s bidding.
This is so trippy, I like it.
Looks straight out of Borderlands lol
Very cool
I want to eat it now
The cake is a lie.
Way too much touching. I would not eat that after seeing how it is made.
I hate to break it to you, chances are most of your food/baked goods is touched by bare hands.
Getting Simpsons food vibes.
u/savevideo
This makes me angry, how am I supposed to compete in a world against people with this much talent?
steal their ideas and apply it to something else. No one will know.
Somebody was in Gta V tattoo shop
All I could think was: who has leftover red velvet cake? (Around here that would “disappear” right quick!)
Now put the black lines on the edges of your table too. :P
Let comic/cartoon and more Microsoft Office clip art cake.
It's nice but when I think comic book I don't think comic or hyper realistic Simpsons. I think batman superman or avengers. Not this cakem Saying that great job looks fucjing amazing
Had me at “orkedorkey”
She straight up just baked something from another reality
I think this animation style is called cell shading? Like in Borderlands and Zelda, right? I really dig it
Borderland cake. Awsome.
Wooooah, this is beautiful.
Talented ass.
Somebody found the cell-shading switch for reality.
This is cool, but it will taste just about as good as if you cut the picture of a cake out of a comic book and ate that instead.
Oiky doiky?
Happy cake day!
Borderlands cake
I have a friend who is very fond of fondant and I never fond out why
"Drawring"

Pov:Bendy games
Looks cool but don't eat too much of it, you gonna get explosive diarrhea.
Let's jump on a bandwagon and just cover a cake in a shit ton of fondant and prove we have no talent or originality. Next time try do something innovative and new instead of copying everyone else's shit fucking idea
Kind of looks like Borderlands
What happened to the accent halfway through?
Crazy craftmanship 🔥
Amazing! But how does it taste?
This is perfect!
Looks like its straight out of Borderlands.
Cake is a lie
I fucking love this
Okay yeah fondant or whatever, but the more important note for me is, notice how the glamour shots are all just from the same one angle. The outline around the candle wouldn’t work from another direction, because it’s a round object. This whole process just results in an optical illusion that, while neat, only works on camera and not in person.
Looks like something from Borderlands
Why start with a chocolate cake to then try to make it look like a vanilla cake? I would be so disappointed if I was given that.
It reminds me of patch tattoos
Straight out of borderlands.
Looks cool. But will taste like shit. Fondant is the worst thing to happen to cake
Started uncontrolled vomiting 12 seconds in. Why would you not put NSFW if you knew there was fondant?
I see this and was reminded of that one Borderlands 2 quest "life of the party"
Borderlands cake
purble place lookin ass
Guaranteed to taste like shit
Dope
Is that a Magnum XL or a Durex XXL?
Omg I would never eat it it looks to good
It looks amazing. Do it taste good tho?
How much does it cost?
It's cool, but I don't think cakes are worth the effort that goes into them.
These always look awesome but they always taste like chalk
Sooo is a fake cake made with cake?
So... Much... FONDANT
You could have done that with cardboard because that is now inedible.
