Attaching Fondant Pearls To Cake
Decorating By lstalder Updated 17 Aug 2011 , 11:35am by ma_baker_30
I recently made a string of fondant pearls and was able to attach them to my fondant cake but they came off in pieces as I lifted them from the table to the cake. Seemed like if I pulled on them in any way they would come apart. Any tips on how best to lift them up and attach in one piece? Also, should they be made out of fondant or with some gumpaste or tylose? Thanks
I,ve even made them with modeling chocolate. After you have let them drop out of the mold, let them set a few minutes, or even better, drop out on a piece of fun foam(from michaels. Then use this fun foam and slide right up to your cake and push off with a small brush. Have your sides damp with water or edible glue and they will go right on the cake. Letting them set up will be your answer.Ive used strickly fondant also, Not g/p at all. Too hard to eat. lol!! Fondant and modeling chocoate mixed is a good medium also.hth
Yes. I made them out of regular fondant, dropped them onto wax paper, painted them with luster and let them dry for about an hour or so before I tried to move them again
