One of the posts I recently read, just questioned ifroyal icing flowers on buttercream will soften and flop. I have been wondering the same thing when we use fondant and buttercream. Does the buttercream soften the fondant? I want to put snowflakes made from a mold using fondant on the cake I will be making. Some will also be done in royal icing. If I use buttercream will it soften the snowflakes? And it I use fondant to cover the cake how will I attach the snowflakes if I want them to stick out from the edges. Won't they crack if I try to stick the points of the flake into the fondant? The cake isn't for awhile yet so I have time to decide what I want to cover the cake with.
Any preferences out there. Buttercream or Fondant????
I know this is very wordy but I really have been agonizing over this and I know someone here at CC has the answer.
There was a question about something like this earlier. I just said that if you want to use fondant on BC, then do it right before you're going to deliver the cake. I really dont think it will hurt the fondant, though. A lot of people have made snowflakes out of royal and stuck them in the cake. I would ask them
hmmm sparkley chocolate..... ??? Maybe you could try to "paint" or "brush" it with luster pearl dust or something like that....... I don't think cake sparkles would work - I've never heard of sparkley chocolate though so there would be some experimenting on your end 
You could just make one white blob of chocolate and try painting it with some luster dust (if you have any) before you try to go and get intricate w/ the snowflakes........ I swore I saw someone do a snowflake cake on here.... but anyway....... I would try that and see if it works. Otherwise, hopefully this will bump up your post and maybe someone else has a clue!
