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.

Organic Classic Fondant
Organic Classic Fondant is a pasty confectionery consisting of sugar and glucose syrup from organic sugar beet farming and water. We guarantee the same high and consistent product quality for our organic and conventional product variants.
Fondant comes from the French “fondre” which means “to melt” and implies the most important quality feature of our products: micro-fine crystals for a particularly delicate glaze.
The royal court bakers had to keep Marie Antoinette in good spirits every day with sweet little treats. Because of this and because of the many intoxicating festivals at the time, a clever confectioner, later called patissier in France, invented a sugar mixture for impressive decorations.
It was more than 450 years ago, but this magical substance still inspires us today and is the favourite material of all confectioners. New techniques and methods of modelling with fondant are constantly being invented.
The most unusual fondant cake ever: a fondant-covered race car. This edible vehicle travels at a speed of 27.48 km/h (17.08 mph), weighs 649 pounds and was created by a celebrity cake artist. It was even featured in the Guinness Book of Records.
