Has anyone heard of Princess base, used for cake icing 40 years ago.  Growing up the cakes that came from the bakery had a slight crunch to the icing when you bit into it.  The icing 40 years ago had a whole different taste...  Does it have an "official" name or can it be made?  Thanks

Might it have been colonnade frosting or poured fondant?

I believe you're referring to crusted buttercream.  I always like the crunch.
