The former, because the latter leaves me thinking of a cake covered in square fondants.
Ah--there might be a cultural thing--I don't think that in the U.S. we have "fondants" as items.
There's "rolled fondant" the play-dough-like cake coating that gets rolled out and draped over cakes or cut into pieces to put ON cakes; there's "fondant" the liquid icing that gets poured over petits-fours.
There are candies made with fondant, or w/ fondant filling. But we don't usually all them "fondants."
But I don't think we have an individual treat that we call "a fondant."
