Using Fondant Cake Decorations On Buttercream?
Decorating By vicky Updated 8 Feb 2009 , 5:44pm by leah_s
I have a bride who does not want fondant but the cake she chose is a cake that needs fondant decorations. It wouldn't look the same without them. Can I use the fondant swags, etc. on buttercream? If so, how do I attach them? Thanks. Vicky
In my experience, fondant swags will not adhere to buttercream, they will fall off, often pulling the icing off with them.
i havent tried a fondant swag - but isnt chocolate clay supposed to be lighter than fondant, so maybe that would work? just a suggestion!

Oh please, I do it all the time. If the buttercream has crusted then put some fresh buttercream under where you want to attach the swag and slap it on there.

Hi Leah
Would buttercream or royal be better to attach the fondant to buttercream? Any tips would be welcome. Thank you.
