I just found this sub and maybe you guys have an explanation. Yesterday I had a slice of cake covered in fondant. My plan was to only eat the cake part and leave the fondant. When I got close to it, I bit into something that was initially a little acidic like a lime, but quickly felt like I had bit into a bar of deodorant/antiperspirant. My entire mouth felt dry, chalky and the feeling was extremely unpleasant. It took nearly an hour for it to not feel so dry. Is the fondant to blame????
