Can I do that? How would I make them stick and not fall off? Just got a request for a "daisy" cake with yellow buttercream as the backround. I figured fondant daisies would be so much easier than royal icing ones. Any thoughts? Thanks so much, I usually only do kiddie cakes so I am a bit nervous.
I am also going to be doing a buttercream wedding cake with daisies on it and have wondered if I shouldn't perhaps put a toothpick into the daisy and attach it to the cake like this. Was also worried that the weight of the daisy might just make them slip off.
But, if you are all confident that some BC will do the trick, hopefully I won't have to panic about attaching them to the cake.
I just did a cake for an annivesary. Buttercream with fondant daisies. I used buttercream icing to stick the flowers, did not have any problem. My icing on the cake was too thin and kinda melted on the trip. Had to do some repair, but the flowers stayed ![]()
The picture is in my photos, couldn't get it to attach.
One more question, well really two
Do I let the fondant daisies totally dry and become hard before I stick them on the cake with buttercream? Also do you usually use different size daisies? I am doing a 10' square cake with yellow BC and fondant daisies, or do I keep the daisies all the same size.
I am used to doing kiddie cakes and this is my first grown up order so I am nervous
Thanks again.

I make my daisies well ahead of time, so they are totally dry. I have never had them fall off when placing them on the cake with a dab of buttercream. To have a mix of different size flowers will be fine, It depends on the look you are going for.
