This icing is rolled out and used as a covering for a firm cake such as pound cake which has been iced lightly with buttercream to seal in moistness. A light layer of apricot glaze may also be used. Cakes covered with chocolate rolled fondant can be decorated with royal or buttercream icing decorations.
