It's just melted chocolate and corn syrup. Tiggy2 is right, you have to knead it (a small piece at a time) until it is soft and pliable. I haven't tried covering a cake with it - not sure that works (at least not like you would fondant). The most I have done with it as far as covering a cake was to roll it out and cut out scalloped pattern around side of cake and on top (dragon cake in my photos). I know from that experience that it is not as easy to roll out as fondant.
Thanks for the responses. I didn't realize I had posted this twice. Anyway, I know it can be done because decorators on Food Networks challenge do it all the time. Mainly Mike McCary. I've tried a little on a cupcake and it was delicious. I think people will like it better than the fondant so i wanted to try it.
