I tried this recipe two weeks ago for a birthday party. It took two attempts and I never got it right. I followed the directions correctly both times, and the stuff always remained too sticky to work with. I eventually used it as if it were regular frosting. It was very sweet. It didn't look professional at all. I'm very disappointed with the results. This week, I went and bought fondant pre-made, so much easier.

Very difficult to keep moist enough to roll out thin, and then roll up to lay over cake. The must be another way to keep it pliable.

I just got through decorating a wedding cake using this recipe and it worked quite well. I measured the ingredients exactly and the icing rolled out just like pastry.

There are a couple of things that I'd wish I'd known first which are:

1 - Mix the icing and fats before you cook the gelatine, otherwize you'll have solid gelatine.

2 - If you have a large cake then flip the cake top-down onto the icing and then flip it back over again using a breadboard on the top and the bottom. My attempts at folding the icing ended in disaster.

3 - Work fast and quick - when the icing comes out of the fridge you can't leave it sitting around on a breadboard or it will stick no matter how much cornstarch you have. Keep flipping and moving it constantly and get it on the cake as fast as you can. Try not to let it get warm. If you mess up then stick it back in the fridge or freezer for 5 minutes before trying again.

4 - Unlike spreadable frosting the icing doesn't stick too well to the cake so consider applying a thin layer of chocolate spread or jam to the top and sides of the cake before you place your icing on.

I'll definatly be using this recipe again - lots of fun and great results.

It was very easy to prepare however once you had to start rolling it and actually put it on the cake it was very dificult... it looked great like a professional cake at first then I walked away for ten minutes and came back to see the entire thing crumbled apart dragging the cake down with it! Honestly was a waist of time effort and MONEY!

We flavored ours with almond extract and it tasted good. This recipe was rated as easy and it was very difficult to work with. Once we got it on the cake the frosting started to fall apart.
