Hello!


I have this cake coming up and I want to know how to make edible (silver) flakes to stick on it? I am using CK silver flakes brand

Should i use fondant base? Or buttercream base? My buttercream is crisco based as its for a kosher customer.

How to make them stick?

Tips? I plan to either make my fondant or buttercream gray.

thanks

Not exactly sure what those silver flakes are but most anything will stick to fresh/not cursted b'cream.  If you are just scattering them then all you have to do is slap/throw/sprinkle them on.   Have the cake on a piece of paper (parchment or waxed) to catch what doesn't stick.
