Fondant figures are decorative elements made from a pliable sugar paste called fondant. They are often used to enhance the appearance of cakes and desserts, adding a three-dimensional aspect to the design. Fondant can be molded and shaped into various forms, such as animals, characters, or flowers, making it a popular choice for themed celebrations like birthdays and weddings. Creating fondant figures involves rolling out the fondant and sculpting it by hand or using molds. These figures can be painted or dusted with edible colors to add detail and realism. Fondant figures not only beautify desserts but also serve as memorable keepsakes for special occasions.
