I have never modeled with rice krispy treats-but am looking to use them for a cake I'm making this weekend. I just have one questions-how do you get gum paste to stick to the rice krispy treats? Do you use buttercream? Thank you for your help!

I cover mine in buttercream, but I've heard of some covering in chocolate. hth

I just roll out my gumpaste on shortening and the shortening side goes onto the RKT, it sticks like glue.

I usually use the stickiness of the RKT. Shortening works great too.

Good luck.

The bright pink lady bug body was half cake and half rice crispies.I did pack the rice crispies pretty tight and let the layer cool and harden completely before layering the cake on top with a bit of buttercream inbetween and then treated it as one big cake. I smoothed an ultra thin layer of buttercream over the cake and crispies being careful to fill in all the little holes and make a smooth canvas. After that I had no issues with covering the whole thing in fondant the first time. It just smoothed on so perfectly.

The torso in my dress cake is made of RKT. I used two layers of fondant/gumpaste.
