I am trying to make a Princess Castle cake for my daughter for her birthday and she does not like fondant. I am new to this - can someone tell me if I use buttercream to frost the cake and add the decorations in fondant? Will the fondant adhere to the frosting and will it look good?
Thanks much for your help!
Hi Teresa,
I am still new to cake decorating but I`ve done a few cakes iced in buttercream, with fondant decorations on the sides and fondant figures on top and I`ve never had any problems with the fondant sticking to the buttercream. You can use some more buttercream as a glue, or brush a tiny bit of water on the back of your fondant to make it stick.

I would also make the decorations and let them dry before placing them on only because the may bend or wilt depending on what your making. But I wouldn't use water becasue it may slip down after some time and make a pudding of goop.

sorry puddle...lol 
Yes, it'll work just fine 
If you apply decorations on a no-crust buttercream like IMB O SMB you won't need to use any "glue", they will stick nicely as is.
