I am making a brides dress cake and I am wondering the best way to put the finished details on the fondant? I am attaching a picture of the scroll type work that is on the back. how would you guys put it on the cake/dress (what would you use)? Also, how in the world do I make ivory fondant? The dress in the photo is white with champagne detail. The actual cake dress needs to be ivory/ivory. Thank in advance you guys are awesome!!

Could you just use the luster and sparkel dusts and paint them on ?

Use Ivory color Gel for the Ivory color. Color white Fondant w/ Ivory Gel. Go easy..you can always add more if it needs it.

If you are really good with scrolling, then this should not be difficult for you..maybe use the smallest round tip for the scroll design. Then paint it w/ gold lustre when dry.

I am not a scroll expert . I do Fondant more than piping. icon_smile.gif

Could you use royal icing to pipe the design on the fondant?

For the ivory icing, I know that Americolors has ivory. I have used it before.

Could you pipe it on with royal icing? Or if you have a clay gun you could make the details out of fondant and attach them. I have ivory color from both Wilton and Americolor. If you have the Americolor use it. I do my best not to use Wilton anymore.

I think I would try a stif ivory buttercream or royal icing for the detail then layer with luster dust and/or glitter. That way you will have the raised detail of varying degrees and the glimmer.
