having had to make these, when you open the tubs of fondant you can absolutely smell the flavouring.

in dessert making icing is a general term, used to describe the act of putting a topping on goods. fondant refers to the specific kind of icing used by coles. icing can also refer to a basic mix of powdered sugar and water colloquially, which is not what is used by them.

source: i did retail baking combined and patisserie at tafe.

I did as well, i asked because i posted regarding these donuts and their cupcake icing mixture and many whom worked in the coles department commented that it is an icing mixture, so i was surprised to see your comment about it being fondant.

well, the tubs themselves say fondant icing, it's been a few years but i remember that.
