    See Southernbelle's siggy pic. The cake is done in fondant. I don't know if it's considered a frosting, but it's what decorates the cake.

    The stuff you put over cake to make it look smooth like that.

    haha! ?I only know because I watch the cake shows. ?It's a type of icing that is easy to mold like playdough, and a lot of places make big sheets like rolled out and drape it over cakes, etc.?

    I'm still confused.  Maybe I need to be sent back to the Knot for remedial cake class.

    It's pretty on cakes, but inedible IMO.  Yuuuuck.

    It's rolled out into a huge sheet and laid over the cake to make it look perfect and smooth. Very expensive and doesn't taste good IMO.

    Fancy pants icing that is smooth and beautiful but tastes like sh!t. You actually roll it out verses spreading it on like traditional icing. In all the weddings I did, I always insisted that the staff peel the fondant off before serving it (it is adhered the the cake with a thin layer of buttercreams, so it's not like I was sending cake out with no icing on it).
