Fondant Decoration On Whipped Cream Icing
Decorating By AgBaker Updated 13 Dec 2014 , 6:07pm by AgBaker
AI am making a choc mousse cake and plan on using whipped cream to ice the top and sides. Can i stick fondant and gumpaste decoration to whipped cream? What should I use as a glue? I just want to glue on simple fondant rounds/circles of different colors on the sides.
Also should i let the cream set up a bit in the fridge before putting the decorations on it?
Thank you!
I once put fondant 'rolled roses' (if you can call big ugly chunks of thick fondant rolled into coils roses lol) onto whipped cream and I can tell you that the colour ran everywhere. They didn't just bleed a little, there was literally little rivers of fondant running all over the whipped cream. It is definitely on my 'don't do that again.....ever' list.
Hello all,
So would it matter if I use stabilized whipped cream?
Today I am working on a cake for my brother and he likes my strawberry and whipped cream cake. It is his anniversary, so I am thinking I will place some gumpaste flowers on the top of the cake to make it a lil fancy :)
Should I place a lil bit of parchment paper under the flowers to prevent bleeding of colors? I am a complete novice when it comes to decorating and hence so many questions. Thanks all!!
