My Pastry Arts instructor...who is from France...calls it Fon"dawnt" too. But Buddy is Italian...oh well. I say fon"dint". I don't know what the proper pronunciation is. I'm gonna go check something on that...be back in a sec.

I say fon'dint'. But I did notice on Cake Boss that Stretch (the delivery guy) said it fon'dint' unlike everyone else from the family (which would all be ?Italians). I had a Scottish Bakery Professor and he also said it fon'dant'. Maybe it's a European thing lol.

If you look at the pronunciation guide, though...it says either pronunciation is accurate. 
Golden no matter what!
I'm a fond-dint girl myself, the few times I've said fon-dawnt I feel kinda funny
Chalk it up to my deep south accent, but I call it fon"dunt".
jammjenks, I'm not from the south, and sometimes I call it fon"dunt" too. depends on my mood. 
Actually it's French (as am I) and proper pronunciation is "fuh" (N is silent) "danh"...the T is silent............fuhdanh
I make a funny face when I say it like that; or at least that's what DH told me as he just laughed at me sounding it out like you tell us!
Call it my KY accent but I'll stick with fon "dint"
LOL...I say tomatoes, you say tamahtoes! I guess this is like the whole pop vs. soda thing, it just depends on where you're from! Me, I'm from Austin TX and I say Fon-dahnt, but then that's because I took years of French!
Lol! This is bad... I just wrote down what I say... FAWN- Dunt!
LOL!!! I have the worst accent! Oh well! 
dint. I get together with some local cakers and we talked about it over coffee and we all say fon'dint'
I'm in Canada on an island in the pacific and we say fon -"dahnt" here.....
I lived in Illinois for a few years and I got made fun of so much of my pronunciation of different things! Like apparently I say a-boat for about?! My fave from them was adding an 'e' before 'a's! Like Ceat for cat and and eashley for ashley!
webster's dictionary agrees its "dint" but more with a dEnt...heres the post, click the red speaker

thinking back to an episode of ace of cakes with the cupola. funny funny. 
This is so funny. It's dunt for me, actually just like the dictionary voice,( that was really cool, by the way) I just hate hearing dawnt. I don't know why. I went back to retake one of the wilton courses and my first teacher was no longer there. The new lady and I just didn't mesh, so much so that I only went to the first class, and she was definitely a fonDAWNT gal. That's not why I didn't go back, but it drove me nuts.
Kinda off topic but I had a customer INSIST on have "fondue" icing, "you know the stuff thats really smooth and Duff uses all the time".....I wish I had the balls to not correct her and procced to pour hot melted cheese all over her cake ( She was PITA and it took me emailing a link to Satin Ice for her to believe me that it's "Fondant" and not "Fondue").
bahhahhah!! fondue icing!!! some people are so hard headed!
