This is where I get my baker's fondant (and bread and their Eccles cakes :p. Proper bakery. Queues out the door are normal.
The number of chelsea buns that I eat over a year mean that I probably eat another 12.5kg of fondant! :LOL:

I believe there is insect/ arthropod contamination in most if not all flour, as well as many other foods. Flour mites are not uncommon. Removing every trace of bugs from harvested wheat must be pretty much impossible.
