I'm making 95 daisy cookies for my sister's wedding on Saturday and I'm trying to think of some short cuts as her cake took me longer than I'd planned for so I'm left with little time!

If I use fondant to cover the cookies how does it stay on the cookie? I imagine I'd cut the fondant out and lay it on the cookie but as soon as the cookie stands up (they are on sticks) won't the fondant just fall off? Am I being dim about this?

Please help as my alternative is royal icing and that's going to take me forever!

hi emma! i only did nfsc once with fondant..what i did was as soon as it came out of the oven i put the pre-cut fondant on the cookies..the heat made the fondant adhere to the cookies..maybe somebody else has a better idea..

nfsc?

oops..nfsc= no fail sugar cookies...

NFSC= no fail sugar cookies. If the cookies is already cooled, just use a bit of something sticky to adhere the fondant. Piping gel, or corn syrup thinned with a bit of water works fine. Even a very light brushing of plain water on the fondant back can be enough to stick it to the cookie.

I agree wwith joann. I usually brush it with water but it is also posible to stick it with marmelade..congrats for your sister..

Emma
You shouldnt have any problems if you brush them with lightly with water or sugar syrup. Let the dry before you stand them up ; )
These are some i did with fondant. One girl at work has a couple of them in cellephane bags (1.5 years later!!!) I can't believe they didnt mold, and they were made from scratch, so no added preservatives apart from sugar. AMAZING!!!!
I wonder if this means that all us cake-makers are mummifying ourselves

joann,how about dots of royal icing? will it work too? i think my method is d laziest! lol!..

i do what marj does if the cookies are just done. pre-cut the mmf and have it ready for when the cookies come out. If they are cooled i use a bit of corn syrup and it works great.

Corn syrup (I don't dilute it) works great.

Good luck!

I keep corn syrup in a squirt bottle and just dot a little on the cookie and the fondant or RBC adheres nicely!

have been following this thread as I need to make some cookies for a birthday. Could you use the rolled buttercream for the cookies the same way if the cookes are cold. I imagine if I added it to a hot cookie it would melt. anyone ever try this.

I use the same cookie cutter for the MMF as I do for the cookies, and while cookies are baking I cut the fondant, as soon as cookies come out of the oven I place the MMF cutout on the hot cookies. It then melts onto the cookie and gives the edges of the fondant a nice rounded look as though it was piped on.
