I was wondering what would be the best thing to use to decorate a MMF covered cake? I am going to pipe scrollwork on the side of the cake for a party tomorrow afternoon. Sinmce I go a late start on it, I was wondering if I could just go on ahead tonight and pipe with buttercream or if I could pipe royal icing scroll on the side of it and let it dry?
HELP!!!
Happy Caking,

I've done both. Just make sure the buttercream you use would be one that would normally "stay". The royal icing should definitely work. I don't know if humidity in your area, etc... would play a part, however in my experience, I've had success with both. I had even used BC as the "glue" to stick some fondant fish onto my fondant Noah's Ark, the day of my Twins' 1st b-day party... I was OUT of time & didn't want to mix-up the royal icing. Thank goodness it did work. I hope it works out for you! =)
I use buttercream as glue on my fondant all the time. I'm just too lazy to make royal icing.
