What is this? Is it the same as "regular fondant"? It was mentioned in the cake challenge on Food Network and I am just curious. Also, I wonder how Royal frosting itself can be used on cakes?? It seems like it would get so hard and be hard to cut through.
Either way, I'd like to know what Royal Fondant is.
Thanks!

i want to know, too, i kept mumbling it throughout the show and i bet my fiancee thought i was loosing it!
I also was wondering about royal fondant after watching that show....I got on this website and looked it up and found nothing??
I thought royal icing is mainly used in just details, not the entire cake. The recipe I have doesn't taste that great ... but it works well for 3-D details.
In England royal icing is the traditonal covering used on wedding cskes. Usually over the top of marzipan and fruit cake. If you're going to support a cake with pillars the icing has to set hard to support the weight of the pillars and top tiers but if you have some other method of supporting the top tiers ie a cake stand or something similar add 1 teaspoon of glucose to every 1lb of sugar used in the royal icing and it doesn't set so hard making it much easier to cut and eat.
Hi there....I don't know what Royal Fondant is either. I also heard them say it on the Food Network...I thought I heard wrong or they pronounced "Rolled" in a very strange way....anyhow...
I did a search just out of curiosity and I found this site that has a cake on this page (scroll down just a bit) and she describes it as ROYAL fondant...
perhaps you can email her and ask her what it is.....don't forget to let us know...thanks!!

Miss Baritone - when I lived in England we used egg whites and icing sugar for royal icing. Now that raw eggs are a no-no, what do you use in the UK? Over here in US we use meringue powder. Just curious!
We use meri-white which I think is probably the same as meringue powder. It gives a whiter icing and better still means I can just mix tiny amounts if I'm just using it for odd bits of decoration
i went to this web site, didnt find much info on rolled royal icing, but her cakes are worth looking at!! she has incredible wedding cakes and i was very impressed with one of the birthday cakes, the bear in big house cake, she must have figure piped the bear and friends. check out this web site!

whereabouts in the uk are you from BrittBB? I can recommend an excellent shop over here. They do have a website and will deliver anywhere in the country so you could order your own supplies and have them waiting for you when you arrive
