Hi friends of ours are celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary, and I'm making the cake. In Germany we call this the coral anniversary, so I was thinking of making a cake with corals on it. If I make the coral out of royal icing, how long to dry and can I put it on a bc iced cake, without it disolving? I'd like to make a topper of coral as well, and I'm afraid, that it won't stay put without melting. I'd like some on the sides as well.
Can anyone help me please?

As long as the royal icing decoration is completely dry, it will hold up on the buttercream for quite some time. Add it at the last minute, and avoid refrigerating the royal, and it won't melt at all.

Hi Uschi,

saw the opic titel and thought that I should inform you, that someone else is looking for corals icon_biggrin.gif

Maybe you can do the side decoration directly on the cake with bc and just the top from royal icing?

I kinda remember reading about microwaving fondant to death and it turning into some interesting coral- like object. Anyone else ever hear of this?
