What is the topping on Carvel ice cream cakes???

What is that delicious mystery "frosting"?? My DF says it's whipped cream, but I don't think that's completely it.....

Any ideas??

You're asking about the white base that they use on the cakes and decorations? It's a mock whip cream specially formulated. Comes in a powder form that they add water to and then whip up using an industrial balloon whisk. You can add food colouring to it to make the different colours; and then use it to make the flowers/roses.
