Why the size of the sugar crystal is important in fondant and how this differs from icing sugar?
The size of the sugar crystal in fondant is crucial because it affects the texture and smoothness of the final product; smaller crystals create a more pliable and glossy texture. In contrast, icing sugar, which is finely ground and often contains cornstarch, dissolves more quickly and produces a light, fluffy texture, making it ideal for glazes and frostings. Using larger sugar crystals in fondant can lead to a gritty texture, making it less desirable for covering cakes. Thus, the granulation of sugar directly influences the mouthfeel and appearance of the finished confections.
