I have an order for a wedding cake trimmed in dragees like pictured below. The cake will be covered with a crusting buttercream. I am struggling to figure out the best way to attach them. I think piping gel would mess up the buttercream - wouldn't it? Would spraying the cake lightly with a mist of water and then adding the dragees work? Suggestions?? Thank you!

I use 1/2 piping gel, 1/2 corn syrup. Lightly brush on. Run dragees through a large opening funnel to direct to the places you want them (helps get them into the small edges). .
