I need to make icing for a dummy cake that is non-edible.  I cannot use Royal Icing.

 

I'm looking for something that will give an end result that looks like fondant.

 

Does anyone have a recipe for something I can use???????

The only thing that looks like fondant is fondant. Why does it have to be non-edible? Edible stuff does dry rock hard and last for a long while.

AAir dry clay or crayola model magic will work very similar to fondant. Both will shrink as they dry fair warning there is also a recipe for faux frosting I came across somewhere for fake cupcakes on instructables using lightweight spackle

our city's restrictions does not allow my business to use "edible" products.  I then go into a completely different category filled with so many restrictions.

I knew about that but it is so expensive, I just wondered if there was a cheaper way by making something similar.

I've used Perma-Ice and its a good product.  A little goes a looooooong way.  However - and this is important - do NOT for any reason wash your bowl and urtensils in your sink.  Take towels or newspaper and wipe out/off every bit of the PermaIce from everything and throw that away.  Any Perma-Ice flecks will remain in your drain pipes for years.  Ask me how I know.
