Does anyone here have experience with covering a cake in sugar sparkles? I saw this picture and I wanted to do it on a 4" round. Sounds easy enough, but what do I use to attach the sparkles? Thanks!!

Fondant covered? Or BC? Fondant-brush a very light thin layer of thinned down piping gel (piping gel with warm water) Then toss it on, drizzle it from a large sppon.

BC-before it crusts, if you use a crusting BC, I pour a crap load around the botom of each tier and gently pull it up the side of the cake with a pallete knife, taking care nt to dig into the icing or jam the sugar into the icing. Gently whisk away the leftovers into a bowl and start on the next tier.

Oh ya know....if this is a litle teeny 4 incher, chill that sucker till it's hard, and just roll it around in a pile of sugar. That's your best bet.

I use corn syrup. Just thin it down a tiny bit with water then brush it over the fondant.... the sugar adheres well and it works great!

_Jamie_: I can really just roll it in sugar if it's cold? I was planning on doing fondant. That seems easy enough!
