Hi gang for those who have tried these on the sides of cakes. I want to to just a buttercream icing...is it possible to do the candy tiles on the sides in this medium i have never seen it on anything besides ganache. Would you just use buttercream to hold them? I know I would have to make them thin so they would not be too heavy to stay on the sides.
thanks for the help

I have done this with M&Ms on the sides of a hexagonal cake iced in buttercream--I did have to use extra buttercream "adhesive," and I had several little renegade jumpers off the sides. I have never tried it with candy melts, but if it works, that would be a fun decorating option! I would love to see a photo of your finished cake!

I agree, I wouldn't know why that wouldn't work. Just put a dab of BC on the back as you paste each one on!!
I can't wait to see it either!!

I am hoping someone with more experience comes along to answer this, but in the mean time at least my response will keep you bumped up.

In my photos are three cakes with candy melts, the baby einstein was candy melt transfers I stuck in the BC, one is ganache with the tiles, one is buttercream but the tiles are large and sit on the cake board.

I think from this experience if your tiles are thin and you place them before your BC crust too much you will be ok.
