I used it to frost a chocolate sheet cake a couple of weeks ago. I left the cake in the pan and cut pieces directly from the pan. It was great! I don't know if it would work as well on a free-standing cake, it might slide off the sides. Then again, I live near the water and the air is very humid. In a drier atmosphere, maybe in a house with a/c, it might just work. Food & Wine had a cake with such a frosting about 10 - 15 years ago, topped with silver dragees.
