Sticking Fondant Etc. To Cake Surfaces
Decorating By StephsCakes72 Updated 16 Jun 2010 , 11:24am by StephsCakes72
Hello all,
I was wondering if there is a another way to "glue" fondant and other decorations to cakes other than using buttercream. Is there something clear? I'm pretty new to cake decorating. When I use buttercream, it shows through the sides and seems a little messy.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Missy;
Are you try to do fondant to fondant? I agree plain water or egg white works great.
Thank you all so much! When I went to my cake supplier, they said I could only use buttercream. I knew you all would help me out!
Great, thank you. I will pick some up the next time I go to the store.
I use a little paint brush and water. You don't want to use too much water, just enough to make the fondant "tacky" so that it will stick.
Normally just water, but sometimes a little edible glue depending what I am attaching. If I think I will have to adjust the piece I am putting on, such as lettering, I will use crisco which allows me to adjust the piece I am putting on without worrying about colors bleeding if I have to move the fondeant a good amount.
Thank you. I'll be sure to be careful not to use too much water. To Mayo2222-is edible glue something I can purchase?
OK, great! These are all so much better than the buttercream showing off the sides.
