Fondant Poems | Examples

I live for the dessert buffet

mouth waters at the thought
delights on hand
assorted fantasies
bites of sweetness
fruity morsels
chocolate fondant
tarts and cakes
sugar sprinkles
honeyed lips

For Them

Do I feel you?
Peaceful,
Like drowning in cloud,
Absorbing my screams until I can scream no longer.

Do I hear you?
Hope,
Speaking out to me every day,
Telling me to breathe, telling me to hope.

Do I see you?
Sweetness,
Lacy fondant in your brain,
Reminding me to smile again, it’s okay to be happy. 

Do I know you?
Nonchalant,
You are your own opinion,
I am my own opinion, thanks to you.

Do I remember you?
Freedom,
Living your life as only you can,
Teaching me to live my life too.

Do I understand you?
Ideas,
Overfilling your brain,
Spilling into my ears and onto my paper. 

This is my paper.

the sum of hard work

Treats And Sweets

Lined with a fence of modeling chocolate,
treats and sweets but never gingerbread;
My garden grows popcorn and cotton candy
eat all you like it just keeps germinating;

Treats and sweets but never gingerbread,
my cupboard is all out of fondant;
Eat all you like it just keeps germinating 
pappi’ caught in sugared shrubbery;

My cupboard is all out of fondant,
such a taste has never tempted me;
Pappi’ caught in sugared shrubbery,
perhaps they wait for a melted heart;

Such a taste has never tempted me,
so sweet it overpowers the bitter;
Perhaps they wait for a melted heart,
I’m not one for pure cane or phony;

So sweet it overpowers the bitter;
My garden grows popcorn and cotton candy
I’m not one for pure cane or phony,
lined with a fence of modeling chocolate.

Today Is the Day

Today is the day I’m expected to say
I love you and will you be mine
But who gets to tell me that this is the day
When everyday suits me just fine

Today is the day when sweet scented flowers
Come with the sweet nothings I speak
But how does this show of my romantic powers
Differ from each other week

Today is the day when chocolate will say
For me there is no one above you
But you can have both coffee fondant today
For, Baby, that’s how much I love you.

My Son Wants To Talk About Tooth Decay

we're in a cafe and he's unsure if he can
finish his slice of CAKE, one of those 
fondant numbers and so we've made an arrangement
which will allow me to consume half of it
but then, "dad, i actually think i can finish it."

i get a message from a friend asking how are the kids today
i reply like what i make of the french revolution; 
it's too early to tell

Sweet Dreams

Sweet Dreams

Climb up on the peppermint mountain
Sip the flowing cinnamon tea
Ride confection’s fantasies of licorice
Savor lemon drops by a lemonade sea.

Pick a flower with caramel petals
Taste chocolate kisses from the breeze
Gather toffee bits like four leaf clovers
Catch fondant clouds then dream sweet dreams.

Midsummer Dip

I savor sunshine - its voracious heat
as I drizzle sweet lemonade
on my dehydrated tongue.

I dip my toes into the fondant
of lemon afternoon. You’ll find me
wading in the aquamarine swoon.

My coral-colored swimsuit, one piece
tease of a midsummer’s sea;
saltine-salvation with a tangerine squeeze.

Chartreuse eyes, like a key lime pie,
Ray-Ban protected ~ *
dessert winks at her sublime prize.

Quite crimson, I become, forgetting
to reapply sunscreen, with a rub-a-dub-dub,**
as I sunbathe near my ocean tub.

Clueless after hours on the beach,
my love dives into his watermelon treat,
a breach of spousal ethics to my cause.

With a pouty lip and grifting-tears, I con
his palm to soak me down with aloe vera,
and grant me two-fisted cocktail sips.

The saffron sun dips on the zephyr’d beach.
A welcoming arm rounds my shoulders ~
lavender and lilac speech of twilight.

Archrival

1st verse

Unless I'm holding true
if I'm not loving on cue
I cannot function
I lie here with conjunction
woe I cannot fight this
I care as do I miss you

2nd verse

I imagine this almost constant
your words I'm glued to quadrant
though at times they're cruel
I've allowed you to rule
oh I wish I didn't
I love you as a sweet fondant

Chorus

I'm constantly waiting on your arrival
we're not on the same path of survival
I can't even form a sentence
you've got me in repentance
so I'll continue longing
for you my arch-rival

Chorus (repeat)

Lying To the Roses

Id be lying if i said i didn't miss you.
That this home once a home now an empty shell, a reflection of the husk of a tenant surviving inside.
A half broken shell, combating the waves, damaged and worn by the salt of the seas. 
I'd be lying if i said the scent of your skin doesnt linger in my mind, a depressing perfume, the ghosts of what could have been. 
A bitterness cut into every cake i will ever make, a sour sting from the memories we once shared,before they were memories, when they were the moments of our love story, carved in fondant with sugar hearts and candy kisses. 
Before Big Ben came crashing down around me in a quake of realization, that I will never look at roses the same. 
Stabbed by their thorns too many times, their deep green claws digging into my heart.
What dangers hide behind such beauty. 
I'd by lying if i said your name doesnt bounce around my head, dancing on my lips, begging to be spoken. Now a dirty word playing on my toungue and sliding down my teeth.
Id be lying if i said i don't love you anymore, that the anger had ripped through me and cut you from my cracked stone heart. 
That the roses don't tempt me anymore.

My Fruitcake

Gummy Santa’s adorning
My fruitcake and dates
Inside with candied cherries, 
raisins, walnuts and
Oranges, floating 
Fondant red,
Bliss!

Friendship In the Fall

Friendship in the Fall

Maple leaves lime yellow, 
see through claret red
 paved the way and led us to conversations of losing all our teeth
 but still bleating for cake.

 Cake as creamy as the
 lusty browns and chiccy chocolate hues
 that line a wavy iced canal.

 We gum grimace at the thought of losing teeth.
 Reflecting each others 
squinting eyes and mashing gnashers.
 Leaves fall into wreaths 
around our feet beneath the lashings
 of crazy fondant marzipan,
 there is a plan.

 Of two aging women still dynamic in the falling Fall.
 A cake made in the Autumn of our decades warmed with laughter of friendship tears amidst the swirling leaves of future years.

A Strange Wedding Cake

Indeed, a strange wedding cake!
This is real strange, I must say. 
You must absolutely hear this, I pray.
Almond marzipan, on stands masked with black chocolate;
Candy laces and ribbons made its beautiful garbs.
I ponder; why in God’s name, eat all these carbs!
Seriously, are these black Fondant roses I see here? 
Quite an evolution from our traditional bride’s pie!
Well…what does this imply?
Dreading a wedding life with dark future
or does it symbolize breaking off with past lovers;
Invited surely to take the party's leftovers!
As the knife cut through innocent white,
dark jelly oozes out and trickles down the levels,
staining the spotless damask into perfect designs of devils!
Red marmalade takes its turn to flow down into rivulets.
The bride and the bridegroom poke a finger, each 
to share it and I hear a spine chilling screech…
All I see is their demoniac grin as I make it to the exit!

Vanilla Fondant

The wedding cake was vanilla fondant
 Its flavor did enchant
 But it was truly a surprise
 At how the cake was disguised

 The guests knew not where to start
 They'd never seen this before
 The groom took the first slice
 And then everyone came back for more

 All the guest had left Jenny Craig
 They were tired of that mess
 They ate and ate without finesse,
 The cake itself was the wedding dress!

My Wordy Wedding Cake

Today it is the day
To choose my wedding cake
I love anything to do with words
So my decision was easy to make

I went off to the baker’s
And they had lots of styles
But I had my heart set on a cake
Adorned with Scrabble tiles

It was to be iced with red fondant
And the letters would be white
With the number of points on the corner
It had to be just right

There would be a message 
On tiers one and two
‘Words can not describe
Just how much I love you'

Our initials on the top
On individual tiles
I want it to be the best wedding cake
That's been seen for miles

I've had some ideas
About the cake board
I saw one on ‘the net'
I really adored

Green squares of fondant
With white piping divisions
What words can go on it?
Decisions, decisions

How about ‘love, honour, respect and trust’?
All of these details must be discussed
When my cake is finished
A photo I will take
I hope you won't be lost for words
When you see my wedding cake
