There are different fondant recipes, but for rolled fondant, like the kind that is used on cakes, it also requires corn syrup and/or solid shortening to keep it pliable. Other recipes require the use of confectioners sugar to achieve a silky texture. You have to keep in mind what your use for the fondant is, before you decide what recipe to use.
