At its core, fondant is yet another form of sugar. Given its make-up, it makes sense to say that it does not spoil. But it does damage. Its texture also usually indicates its freshness. A batch of fondant is good to use as long as it feels soft.
Stiff fondant is a sign that it has been exposed to air, making it unusable. Another way to know if a fondant batch is spoiled is to take a look at its texture.
If there is sugar beading, the fondant may no longer be edible. Simply throw the entire thing out. Bakers love our fondant because of several reasons. Fondant-covered cakes are still delicate, but they are able to put up with pressure without crumbling over at the first signs of stress.
Most importantly, fondant is easy to work with. With enough practice, you can create the most complex flower or figurine detailing in cakes using fondant. Bakers love using fondant as icing because of its ability to withstand a change in temperature.
Fondant is also easily customizable because it comes in many flavors and colors. While this is all well and good, fondant comes with its own usable date. Fondant is quite dense. However, the chances of mold traveling through the fondant are high. If you have cut the moldy parts out, use the fondant for practicing purposes only and never for eating. Third, inspect the color. Bright-colored fondant icing tends to fade. If the color of the fondant still works for you and there are no other signs of spoilage, go ahead and use it.
Lastly, if the fondant looks and feels good, give it a taste test. It is always good to taste the fondant before using it. Covering a cake with a layer of off-tasting fondant is a nightmare for every baker. Up Next: Flourless Vanilla Cake. Hey, I'm Jaron and I'm a self-proclaimed food expert and author of this website!
