How Do I Make Fondant Stay On A Cake Frosted W/whipped Icing
Decorating By Mommy3plus3 Updated 14 May 2011 , 11:52am by sweettreat101
I usually just let the icing harden a lil before I attach my fondant pieces to the cake, but sometimes the pieces on the sides start to slide 
Is there an easy fix for this??? I have to make a cake for this Saturday & its supposed to be warm. I dont want the icing to start to melt & the pieces to all come off of the cake!
How heavy are the decorations? This cake was frosted with whipped icing and a butter cream border. I pipe a circle on the back of my decorations this creates a little suction as it is placed on the cake. If the decorations are heavy like flowers I attach a toothpick with royal frosting and let it dry before attaching the decorations to my cakes. Hope this helps. http://cakecentral.com/gallery/1686079
Thanks Sweettreat! The decorations are fairly light so I will try that.
BTW... the Quinceanera cake is BEAUTIFUL!!!
The cake is decorated in non dairy whipped icing. It has fondant stars and and a fondant lace border. I didn't have any problems with the fondant melting and this isn't the first time I have placed fondant on non dairy icing. As long as you are not using whipped cream your decorations will be fine.
