Hi, KittyCakes! Thanks for the compliment. It’s fondant… in this case it’s Satin Ice fondant tinted blue. I hate Satin Ice as a rule – you have to work so quickly or it cracks and wrinkles, but for this cake I just wrapped a strip around the cake as the top was going to be covered in green. I’ve never tried smoothing buttercream, but it’s on my list of things to attempt this year!
