I am American and that stuff is only good for grilled cheese sandwiches.

I'm with you on that. I don't see it around much these days so hopefully people got the hint it's gross and that we shouldn't abuse fruit like that

It’s delicious in a Chicken n Biscuit cracker

Agree

Not offended. But there are some very delicious fondants

Ugh I hate fondant. I also hate American buttercream, taste like greasy sugar, always makes me nauseous. At first I thought I hated buttercream in general, but then I made Swiss meringue and French buttercream and it was life changing. I do like your seven minute frosting (which is just Swiss meringue without the butter though).

I detest frosting in general. Just give me whipped cream or nothing.

Not just the fondant but generally the cake is about as appetizing and as most as cardboard too. You're paying for what it looks like. Give me a box funfetti cake over that c**p any day of the week

I peel the fondant off and hope that the cake inside isn't too dried out.

Working in the culinary field for many years: There's the 'centerpiece' cake (e.g. the one on display that's all pretty), and there's the serving cake(s) (either multiple 8" rounds or sheet cakes). Edit: To be clear, this is more common with things like wedding/reception venues. The head table (bridal/groomsmen party that I'm forgetting the term for is) gets the 'pretty cake' and everyone else gets the same cake minus the frills.

YES

I've never had it. Always wanted to try it.

Huh? Fondant is not just an American thing.

Well, even if it were to offend me... go ahead.

This is not really American now is it?

Yeah fondant tastes NASTY

Homemade marshmallow fondant or cream cheese fondant is actually quite tasty. It's like anything else...it has to be done right.

Yeah, it's gross

Cakes that are half icing make me sick. They're just too sugary and my body can't eat another bite after feeling a bit nauseous. I mean, I could after I eat something salty.

I haven't seen a fondant cake in years and I'm happy about that.

And dowels inserted for support, cant even cut cake properly.

I don't think this is (only) an American thing.

I make the fondant cakes for decorative purposes only. I expect the fondant to be peeled off.

I like fondant but just a little portion

Fondant is as terrible as marzipan. Both often taste like soap.

I like fondant tho

Most Americans agree fondant is terrible

The word 'fondant' comes from the french, meaning “to melt”. The presumed origin of fondant is in Ottoman, Turkey. If you want to see fondant, travel to the Mideast or Northern Africa. But because you haven't, it's an 'American thing'.

I have never had a cake with Fondant if I’m honest but it looks cool idk how it taste

Agree especially if it's blue!

💯💯💯 I was at a cousin's birthday party once and all my cousins were like " I want a fondant piece, give me a fondant piece" like girl no. That stuff is legitimately marshmallows and powdered sugar, and it doesn't even taste good.

This cake looks so beautiful!...How does it taste?...Look at how beautiful it is! Look at it!!!

Not just America. I'm not keen on massive amounts of icing/ frosting either.

I hate this soooooo much. Fortunately, they're putting out more products without high fructose corn syrup. I really wish we'd stop putting that cráp in everything

i like homemade good bread

They are much better with pecans and brown sugar on top

i am american and has never seen this before!

unfortunately true. I'm so glad I moved to Panamá and live on a chocolate farm. Totally serious; suck on cacao seeds all the time for a snack.

At least it isn't bananas. Looking at you, Sweden!

No sane person I know has even touched this

I think I would eat boiled peanuts before I would eat Lindsey Graham.

McDonalds sweet tea is on a totally other level than Southern sweet tea.

We don't like them either.

ummm dont be coming after candy corn rn

As an American, I am not totally familiar with what a Mars bar really is so I clicked through to Reddit to see the comments and learned the deep fried version is actually of Scottish origin, how about that!

I think Twinkies, along with cockroaches will survive a nuclear apocalypse 🙃

Twizzlers taste like someone was vaguely thinking of cherries while putting plastic bags thru a noodle press

You know the expression “There’s no such thing as bad sex or bad pizza” your pizza is like sex with a corpse made of sandpaper. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING! THIS IS NOT PIZZA! THIS IS TOMATO SOUP IN A BREAD BOWL! THIS- IS AN ABOVE GROUND MARINARA SWIMMING POOL FOR RATS! Let me tell you something about your f**k!ng NOT PIZZA! I wanna know when I get drunk and pass out on my pizza that I’m not gonna drown. Let me tell you something! I look at this-! MMMARGH! YOU SONOFAB!TCH! I LOOK AT THIS! MEEEAUGH! GABBA-GOO! I look at this— When I look at your deep dish f**k!ng pizza I don’t know whether to eat it or throw a coin in it and make a wish. AND IF I MADE A WISH IT WOULD BE THAT I WISH FOR SOME REAAAL F**K!NG PIZZA!

And that's the reason I learned how to bake. Everything you buy here is too freaking sweet and I can't handle it; sometimes it makes me gag when I try a dessert

Those pictured must be some off brand ones cuz those are weak lookin poptarts lol

sometimes I think it's just curiosity! Like I see something I love that's deep fried... I wonder what it'll taste like ngl. Especially at fun events like festivals. It's not like we're eating it all the time

At this end of the galaxy-scale: Belgian chocolate. At the other end: American chocolate.
