Just wondering if it's okay to do fondant accents on a cake covered in buttercream??

That's all I do- I have only covered 1 cake in fondant. Feel free to browse my pics, but I think it works great, and looks great!

do it all the time. if the fondant wont stick you can either put a little water very very sparingly on the back or use shortening on the mat you roll out on that way the back of the fondant will be sticky.

Thanks - I feel better about giving it a try now!

Oh my goodness! Most of my cakes have become bc with mmf accents. As posted above, if your bc crusts, just use a small clean paint brush and some water, brush a small amount of water onto the back of the mmf and 'glue' it to the bc.

Good Luck! So much fun!

I do it all the time too. I use a small amount of corn syrup applied with a paint brush to attach my fondant to my crusting buttercream.

I use regular fondant and marshmallow fondant on buttercream.

Absolutely! That is what I do for 99.99% of my cake orders!
I also put my buttercream w/fondant accents cakes in the refrigerator all the time with no problems - I know some people have trouble with this.
