how well do fondant accents adhere to a BC frosted cake?I have an order but the bride does not want the whole cake covered in fondant(like the pic),she wants it frosted with BC and just the accents on the cake to be fondant.I am not sure how well it will stick icon_confused.gif ideas???? TIA

I would suggest a crusting bc and then use piping gel as glue to adhere the accents!

I had the same question, was going to ask. I have 20 cakes for a wedding in Sept and am planning on doing BC with fondant accents (so I can make them in advance).

dodibug- do you put them on before the BC crusts?

I have always put them on after it crusts and I get my cake smooth then I add the accents.

If you want your accents to stay soft until you are ready to put them on the cake you can keep them in an airtight container between layers of plastic wrap.

The bc dream seems to have lots of butter like the one for the fbct so I'm purely guessing at this point but I wonder if you added a couple fo tblsp of meringue powder if that would get it to crust. Hhmmmmm.
