It's used like fondant, only it's a thick BC. I haven't tried it yet, but I believe there's a recipe for it on this site (not sure).

Edited to add: I believe it's good for covering cakes, but I'm not sure if it holds up well for modeling.

Rolled Buttercream:

1 C shortening
1 C light corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
7-8 C powdered sugar

Beat shortening and corn syrup in mixing bowl until creamy.
Add vanilla and salt.
Mix in powdered sugar.
It will be VERY THICK!

Knead until smooth. It is greasy, wear gloves.

It is easy to color.

Store wrapped in plastic wrap AND in an airtight container in the fridge several weeks or in the freezer several months.

It deforsts quickly.
