Hello,

 

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to use buttercream to make a tiara.

I found a tutorial, but the lady used fondant and a clay tool (which I don't have) So I was wondering

if I could use a buttercream instead.

 

Thanks,

K

Is your tiara going to be laying flat?  Then I'd say yes you could pipe it.  However, if you wanted it to stand and be more 3 dimensional then fondant and/or gumpaste would need to be used.  You could try royal icing but it would be really fragile and I'd make more than one just in case.

Thanks DanaG21.  Yes, I would like to have a 3D tiara, but I don't have the tools I need (clay extractor)

I'll try the royal icing now and see if I like the end result. 

 

Thanks
