Fondants, Icings and Glazings
As a fondant supplier for various industries, when we develop our products, we start with you and your customers.
We ask ourselves: What’s the sensory experience consumers are looking for today, and how can we make it easier for you to deliver just that?
So, what makes products enticing to consumers?
They’re delightful to look at, announce themselves with intriguing aromas, and deliver delicious, satisfying taste. We formulate our unique range of fondant, icing, and glazing specialties so that you can create the sweet indulgences your customers will become fans of.
On a technical level, our fondants, icings, and glazings check all the boxes for crafting high-quality bakery, confectionery and chocolate products – whether you are looking to buy speciality icings for cake decoration and modelling, fondants as filling for biscuits and chocolates, glazings for pastrie coating, etc. We develop them to give you a maximum level of flexibility to e.g. create the attractive decorative touch that appeals to your consumers, while you enhance the textures and flavours of your products to perfection.
Fondant Quality
You Can Count On
How do we guarantee consistent quality supply? By starting at the beginning. The main ingredients for the fondant, icing, and glazing products we provide are crystalized sucrose from sugar beets and glucose syrup from wheat. Südzucker is one of the world’s largest producer of these goods – you can feel confident about our supply chain’s reliability and the quality of our ingredients.
Add to that our many years of experience as a fondant manufacturer and supplier and the application know-how we bring to developing a large selection of fondant, icing, and glazing solutions that work smoothly with your processes, and your life just got a whole lot easier.

FAQ Fondants
Processing & Machine Compatibility of our Fondants
Yes, some of our fondants are suitable for industrial applications. Our ready-to-use glazes/spray glazes are suitable for industrial processing – even in continuous operation.
We offer fondant that can be easily integrated into existing processes. Please feel free to contact our specialists to discuss your requirements.
We offer numerous fondants that can be processed in machines. Please contact our specialists to discuss your requirements.
Our fondant has all the properties required for processing in machines. When the fondant is correctly adjusted, it can be reliably conveyed, dosed and applied without leaving sticky residues in the nozzles. For our spray glaze, the spray nozzle must not be too narrow.
This depends on the type of fondant. As a general rule, the higher the temperature, the more fluid the fondant. In addition to temperature, water content also influences viscosity. We would be happy to advise you on your individual requirements. Please contact us for more information.
The processing temperature varies depending on the type of fondant. It ranges between 38 and 45 degrees Celsius. The more water the fondant contains, the lower the processing temperature. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
Humidity is always a critical factor when working with fondant. Due to its hygroscopic nature, fondant absorbs moisture from the air—meaning the higher the humidity, the more likely it is to melt. If the humidity is too high during processing, the icing can become sticky or even slide off the cake. Even during storage, moisture from the baked product can be absorbed into the surrounding air within the packaging, increasing the risk of the glaze melting.
Our Close Wrap Icing is specifically designed for high-humidity environments. It can be processed even under elevated humidity levels. Thanks to its vegetable fat content, it forms a protective barrier between the sugar and moisture, helping the icing maintain its original appearance on your products.
Fondant Properties & Applications
We have freeze-stable fondant that is suitable for chilled and frozen products. Our Close Wrap Icing, for example, remains smooth after thawing and does not crack, and the sugar does not crystallise. Please use our fondant guide to select the right fondant for your products.
We offer fondants with varying degrees of opacity, from milky to highly opaque. The opacity is influenced by factors such as the water content. Please feel free to contact our experts to discuss your requirements in detail.
