Does Melvira Work With All Icings?

I am pretty sure that it would have to be a crusting type of icing..I believe there are crusting cream cheese recipes around but I have never used one.
If it were not crusting, the icing would stick to the roller/paper towel...
Hopefully, she will see this and answer but that is my understanding..

Hey Dana! I have to tell you honestly I have only used it on crusting buttercream, but I have had people tell me that they use it on a non-crusting icing, they just put it in the fridge and let it set up a bit. I cannot tell you from experience that it will work because I have not tried it. I'd say, give it a try, the worst that happens is that you have to find some other method!! The best of luck to you!!!
It works with the Crusting cream cheese frosting. I did it two days ago for a key lime cake I had to do. Gimme a minute and let me find the recipe.
Okay. I found it in my mound of recipes. Here goes:
1 stick of butter
8 oz. Cream Cheese
2 lbs. of Powdered Sugar
1/4 c of vegetable shortening
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt.
It works I'm telling you. I put it on the cake and smoothed it using the melvira method so that I could cover it with fondant. It was so smooth I really didn't want to cover it with the fondant but it was for class so I had to.
Oh yeah, I forgot the directions. Cream the butter, shortening, and vanilla together. Then add the powdered sugar, salt, and I added a tblsp of meringue powder.
