Fondant has 373 kcal per 100 g. Sugar paste used as cake covering and candy filling. Almost pure sucrose with a touch of glucose syrup for texture. A wedding cake layer of fondant adds 20–40 g per slice — count it.
How should I track Fondant, homemade?
The trickiest part about tracking Fondant, homemade is that small portions pack a lot of calories, and most people estimate sweet portions poorly. Research (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013) found that calorie-dense foods are underestimated by 50–200% when portioned by eye. Weighing on a scale takes the guesswork out. And here is the mindset shift that helps: tracking sweets is not about guilt. It is about awareness. When you log a treat honestly, you can plan around it and still hit your targets for the day.
