I'm planning my parent's 50th anniversary cake for next month. I'd like to make royal icing scrolls and glue them onto the fondant on the sides of the round cake. I'm wondering how it will work if the scrolls are flat and the side of the cake is round. Will it work?? What are my other options??

you could put wax paper around your cake pan and pipe them on there so that they are curved. Maybe someone else will have another idea.

I think Denise's idea is great. I would use the exact shape and size pans that you're going to put them on so you'll have no problems. Just let them dry on the cake pans and it should work great.

Of course! I should've thought of that! Sometimes the most simple solution is overlooked!

Is there any reason why you can't do it directly onto the cake? i'm wondering, i've never worked with fondant before. i tried doing scrolls on a buttercream cake. I know it's a big difference. I used buttercream for the scrolls too.

I'm trying not to to pipe the scrolls onto the cake! I'd much rather pipe them from a pattern and then apply to the cake. I'm not that confident!!!
