Help W/ Silver Dragees On Fondant
Decorating By maryg083 Updated 17 Jul 2008 , 5:43pm by CakesBySandy
Can anyone tell me how to properly attach the little silver dragees onto fonsant? I haven't started yet, but I don't want to ruin a perfectly good cake until I have somesort of clue as to what I'm doing!
Thanks!
Get a parchment paper bag with some clear piping gel. Use a TINY dot of gel and plop the dragee onto the cake. The gel is good in case it oozes out around the dragee you won't see it. Hope that helps some!
Oh my goodness! What an awesome simple solution! You guys are the best! Thanks for your help!
Same here...but I usually pick up the dragee with small tweezers and just touch lightly to the surface of my piping gel.

I do the same with my long angeled tweezer, and apply a little pressure, justly lightly to push the dragee in the fondant to make sure it's there to stay.
i am not a cusser, but when i put dragees on fondant those slippery little buggers sometimes jump out of my tweezer....they roll/bounce and i occasionally find them when i'm vaccuuming....
have fun, great tips!

oh yes, they will be rolling all over the place. put a towel under the cake if you can or around it to stop them from rolling off the counter.
I'm sure there will be some cussing to be heard during this process! 1st actual wedding cake, so I want to make sure I don't ruin anything- trying to make it as easy on myself as possible!
Sweetcakes- Thanks for the towel tip too- that's a great idea!
