Südzucker Classic Fondant – the all-round product for numerous applications
Fondant is a pasty confectionery consisting of sugar and glucose syrup. It is cooked to the soft-ball stage, cooled slightly, and stirred or beaten to incorporate air, until it is an opaque mass with a creamy consistency. The microfine sugar crystals give the product its creamy consistency and the smooth, tender glaze.
Südzucker Classic Fondant (mainly packed in 15 kg cartons or pails) is mostly used to produce a range of fondants for fondant topping, dipping, fudges, buttercreams, confectionery and chocolate fondant fillings, or cake decoration.
Are you looking to produce brightly coloured fondant (e.g black, white, gold, or bolder)? Or deliciously vanilla, chocolate, or marshmallow flavoured fondant? Whether Fondant is to be used in bakeries, patisseries (pastry shops) or on an industrial scale, Classic Fondant made by Südzucker sweetens, decorates, fills, and preserves the freshness of fine cakes and pastries.
Our beet sugar-based fondant is also available in EU organic quality.

The minimum order quantity is 1 pallet. Delivery is carried out by 40-ton trucks, so a loading ramp is strictly required.
Storing Classic Fondant
Südzucker classic Fondant is more sensitive than crystalline sugar. Whether packed in pails, cartons, barrels or bags, the following applies to all Fondant packages: The optimum storage temperature is 20 +/- 5 °C.
To avoid destroying the microfine crystals, the temperature must never exceed 40 °C –– not even for short periods of time. Südzucker classic Fondant is best stored in its original packaging which should be firmly closed after the desired quantity has been removed.
