First question , can you put fondant roses on a BC cake? Second, I 'm thinking of putting a white teacup filled with roses on the top of a wedding cake. Do you think this is okay? I'm going for the something new, something old, something borrowed, something blue theme?

Sounds great to me. I don't see why you couldn't put fondant roses on a buttercream cake.

the teacup sounds like a great idea. I bet it will be really pretty. I've used fondant roses on BC before and never had a problem. It doesn't bleed at all if thats what you are thinking...and it keeps its shape.

If you are going to use fondant roses on BC, you should mix some Gum-Tex in with the fondant before molding them. If you put just straight fondant on the buttercream, sometimes the moisture from the BC will make the fondant things wilt. Adding the Gum-Tex will make them dry really hard and the moisture from the BC should not affect them.

Thank you guys so much for your help and encouragement, I told my husband about the teacup and he thought it very strange to put on a wedding cake. So thank you I will be putting the teacup on!
