I have a bride that wants a 3 tier square cake ( purple) with silver hearts on it.
Please advise the best way to do silver fondant hearts!
Thank you in advance!!

I would cut the hearts out of thin fondant, glue to cake with little bit of water, then paint with lusterdust/everclear. Or you could paint, let dry then attach to the cake.

I would do just what sewsweet2 suggested. But, if you are going to put silver hearts on the edges/curves on yr cake then I would not wait for them to dry. They wb too brittle to be flexible enough to shape to the edges/curves of yr cake. Good Luck

Color your fondant a light gray before dusting with silver. Makes it more silvery.

If you are coloring your fondant purple just keep in mind that purples and pinks tend to fade to gray. I did a big huge purple wedding cake...had to make more/deeper color at the last minute.

Add 1 tsp baking soda per pound of purple fondant to help retain the colour. It slows down the fading. I have some purple flowers that I made 1 1/2 months ago and they have not faded. They are not covered with anything.

Duff has silver edible spray at Michael's...you could cut out the shapes in gray fondant, spray them down with silver and then apply onto cake when dried.

There are some bake shops that has a heart pattern for cakes. Why dont take a look at those bake shops..

Thanks to all of you for your helpful ideas!!!

Does the baking soda make the fondant taste really nasty or do you only use it for decorations?
