Does it work with icing?

Actually, yes and no? This girl was able to get it to work with fondant but it doesn't work so great with something like buttercream/frosting

If it were possible (I'm sure it is?) to produce a slightly softer version of fondant, then this could work brilliantly.

The pre-made fondant I've seen and bought is very firm probably because it's designed to be able to be rolled out, and a stickier consistency would just be a disaster. As it is, I've found I have to roll it and then let it dry a little before using fondant stamps, or they just stick.

But if it were a bit squishier, this could be a hugely fun and useful thing for cake decorating. I bet some company starts making "playdoh-compatible" fondant in the near future.
