Renshaw Chocolate Flavour Microwave Fondant Icing

I used this for a birthday cake , using a variation of the raspberry and chocolate flooded cake from a Lakeland catalogue. The icing sets rapidly and you have to work very quickly, so I couldn't completely achieve the casual drizzled look I was after; next time I'll heat it little longer to get a thinner pouring consistency. Even so icing a big batch of small cakes could be tricky. I only used about half the pot and still have quite a bit left, so I hope it keeps until next time. Smaller pots of say 200g would be really useful, for those of us who only usually bake small amounts.

Thought I would try this so bought two chocolate, and one each of the other flavours. Following the instructions only left this luke warm and not loose enough to pour over fondant fancies. Warmed it up further and tried it on one and it was thick and gloopy and set before I had covered all the cake. Warmed it up even more and started to look better but again started to set before the whole cake was covered. Left a thick layer which didn't set firm. Huge disappointment.
