<p>Thank you, Patricia! It is very sturdy and crusts slightly like crusting buttercream. Edna de la Cruz has the recipe on her website.</p>

<p>Good to know, thanks- I just don't want any colored fondant /gumpaste items to melt and bleed all over this cream cheese frosting, as it did with the test I did!</p>

<p>As June said, I have also made a "platform" or base for my gum paste decorations using a piece of fondant for them to set on...just a small piece of fondant the size of the decoration which could be removed at the same time as the decoration.</p>

Another trick Paige is to use white or dark chocolate as a barrier between your fondant and icing. Make a disc of chocolate on wax paper. Attach disc to fondant decorations with warm chocolate. Then add warm chocolate to the disc and place on cake.<br />
Hope this helps.

<p>Thank you June, I will definitely try that. </p>
<p>I had given a friend a few balls of colored fondant to test out on HER cr. cheese frosting (just cr. cheese, butter, 10X) and the fondant pieces MELTED. They literally turned into puddles on top of the frosting when refrigerated overnight! I'm hoping that dried, gumpaste flowers will fare better. I really need to finish the cake the night before they pick it up in the early am. so I need those pieces to hold up under refrigeration for a few…</p>

If you add just add 2 tablespoons of meringue powder to your IMBC, you won't taste it, and it will crust beautifully. You won't notice any graininess either. I've done it, and icing tasted fine.

WOW- that's a beauty! I REALLY didn't want to use a "crusting" anything. I've tried so often, and can never get it right, or to be NOT grainy. PLUS, I always make an IMBC Cream Cheese filling and fear that the crusting one will taste far different from the filling, which is what the customer did NOT want. sigh.....................

<p>This cake was frosted with a crusting cream cheese buttercream, decorated with a gum paste hydrangea and there was no problem. I would suggest adding the fondant and / or gum paste elements at the last minute.</p>
