I found this recipe in a cake decoration book and I searched for it on the internet since I had never heard of it before! I only know how to make MMF and always work with it since I am a beginner!

Kindly tell me if anyone of you has used this icing? why isnt it so common?

can it be used for covering cakes and sculpting figurines?
