It’s fondant. You can buy premade fondant, but all you’ll find at Walmart is the Wilton brand, which is well known for its foul taste. It’s also kind of expensive.
I use marshmallow fondant for all of my cakes. It’s easy to make and cheap too. It takes 16 oz marshmallows, 2lbs 10x powdered sugar (cane sugar, not beet, make sure it says cane sugar on the bag), 4 tablespoons water and about 1/2 cup crisco.
Melt the marshmallows with the water in the microwave, stirring after every 30 seconds. When they’re melted, pour some of the powdered sugar into the bowl and mix it in, and then add more and keep mixing until it gets too hard to stir. Then grease a cutting board or plastic mat with crisco, and grease your hands too. Pour the rest of the powdered sugar on the mat and turn the contents of the bowl out onto it. Start kneading in the sugar until it’s all absorbed. Keep some crisco handy and keep greasing your hands or the plastic mat as needed. Once it’s all mixed in and you’ve kneaded it to a smooth texture, form it into a ball and lightly coat it with crisco. Wrap it in plastic wrap, and then put it into a gallon ziplock bag and let it rest for 24 hours. After that, it’s ready to use. If it’s stiff and hard to work with, microwave it for a few seconds at a time. Be careful because if it melts, it will burn you badly if you touch it before it cools down.
To roll the fondant out, grease a vinyl mat (buy a yard of clear vinyl at walmart and cut it into several mats) with crisco. Roll the fondant out to the size you need. To figure that out, add 8 inches to the diameter of your cake pan, plus an extra inch just in case, as long as your cake is a round, 2 layer cake. Lightly ice the cake with buttercream to provide a cushion for the fondant and to help it stick. When you put the fondant on the cake, first gently open out any pleats or creases that form on the sides or around the bottom edge. Then smooth the top and the sides. When it’s smooth, cut around the bottom edge with a pizza wheel or pastry cutter.
