Can you use any icing with fondant?
If you are shaping the fondant into bite-sized pieces, which is the most common way of using it, you need an icing that will harden. Frostings made with butter, shortening or cream will not firm up, and neither will canned frostings. The easiest way to ice fondant is by melting some of the fondant itself in a double boiler, with any liquid from water to fruit juice, extracts or liqueur, using 1 tablespoon of liquid to one cup of fondant. It must be a liquid when you pour it. This icing firms up very quickly, so it must be poured smoothly and evenly over the pieces of fondant, which will need to be on a baking rack. If the icing starts to harden put it back to simmer, stirring all the while. You can also use a recipe for petit fours icing, and they are plentiful on cooking websites.
