Is ther a tutorial on how to do the fondant drapes....the ones that cascade down several tiers....thanks for help
Madge, there is a tutorial from Satin Ice by Collette Peters. It is basically the same thing, just tweak it a bit.

I wanted something more from top to bottom...anything else out there? DOES EVERYONE USE 50/50 GP AND FONDANT?

this is basically how I did my drapes, with the dowels to help form the folds. I let it dry just a bit, so when I picked it up, the folds didn't just sag out. I made my fondant pieces about 3 1/2 " wide, length was 8" to about 15" as the tiers grew. I made Michelle Foster's Fondant recipe, and mixed with gumpaste powder (you could just mix f and gp). Roll thin. Mine did stretch some as I picked them up, you just have to work with it, then take off the extra.
I used vanilla to brush on to attach the drapes to the fondant.[/url]
Thanks. Actually I want to hang drapes from top tier to bottom third tierkind of like the pattern of a "z' For lack of better description.
Same technique, just a lot longer. That's where letting it sit and firm up just a bit might help. and get longer dowels from the hobby store! I had sticks end to end under my longer pieces to support the whole length! But at 1am, ya use what ya got!
