Royal icing should be used to pipe any designs on fondant. Hope this helps. Jeanne, if your using buttercream to pipe on fondant, it won’t work.

Crumb coating is taking the frosting you already have and slightly thinning out the consistency with either milk or light corn syrup, you pass a thin layer of frosting over the entire cake, you will notice that there are crumbs in the coating, when you freeze the cake the crumbs will be trapped in the crumb coating so when you actually frost to decorate your cake the crumbs will not be free to intefere with you final design.
