[Sca-cooks] OOP Icing Question

[Gretchen Beck]

Just wondering (since I'm not a baker, and don't work with this stuff). 
Looking on the web suggests that fondant would hold up well to heat. I've 
had fondant covered cakes, and always thought it fairly tasty -- would this 
be a good substitute for icing in southern summer heat?
