Bakers’ fondant

[Cyfareddol]

Does bakers fondant contain ingredients which may harm bees, such as preservatives, vegetable oils etc?

 

[The Poot in Somerset]

No.

Some contain titanium white as a food colour but I believe its non toxic

ingredients: Sugar, Glucose Syrup, Palm Oil, Humectant: E422, Emulsifier: E471, Stabiliser: E413, Preservative: E202, Flavouring.

Doesn't sound like baker's fondant to me - all the Baker's fondants I've come across have nothing but powdered sugar, glucose syrup and water.
What you have there looks more like fondant icing or cake maker's fondant

That is not baker's fondant it's fondant icing, totally different stuff. Bako do bog standard baker's fondant and if you have an account (in this area anyway) it will probably cost less than a tenner for 12.5 Kg

It seems the one with the least ingredients is the Ambrosia plus no palm oil, E- numbers or flavourings.

Yes, they put a spoonful of invert into it and everyone then says 'ooooh, it's all invert fondant' when in reality it's just bog standard baker's fondant with a drop of fairy dust but three or four times the cost.

If you don't need huge amounts and don't mind paying a little more you can get the standard baker's fondant (also just sugar, glucose syrup & water) from beekeeping suppliers like STBK:

Or this which Erichalfbee recently posted

https://www.chocolatefalls.co.uk/ingredients/sugars/12.5kg-soft-white-bakers-fondant?cPath=5773&
"Feed for bees, not additives or caking agents just sugar , glucose syrup , water."

I haven't tried ordering from this supplier yet though.
