Hi CC'ers,

Do any of you know if there is anything you can spray or add to fondant accent flowers or cut-outs that will prevent them from wilting when they have sat on buttercream for 24 hrs?

Everytime I put little flowers to decorate cupcakes, the next day the flowers look melted...

Any info would be very appreciated

Keep on BAKING

You might try adding a bit of Tylose powder to your fondant, it is supposed to make it dry harder. I don't know how much harder, it may make the flowers too hard to eat.

Another thing you could do is let your pieces get fairly dry before you put them on buttercream.

I mostly use candy clay which does not harden nearly as much as fondant. As long as I let it dry for a day or so the flowers and things I make hold up pretty well on buttercream. They do soften, but still look the same.

HTH.

Are you closing them up in an cake carrier?
