Hi,

I want to put fondant flowers on a fondant covered cake and I'm a little worried that the flowers may be too heavy and make the cake sag.  

Is this a legitimate worry, or is there something I should do to prevent this?  If you've had this dilemma, what did you do?

Thanks!

ps. I did put a lot of fondant flowers on a cake before and the cake did sag, however, I don't know if it was from the flowers or not.

If you made those flowers  as thin as you could get it then there should be no problem.   Of course, it also will depend a bit on how many flowers you are going to use.  Though I didn't do that many fondant cakes I put flowers on thme w/problems.  Actually I did one cake where I used some really heavy molded choco hearts and didn't have any problems.  https://www.cakecentral.com/gallery/i/84663/romantic-wedding-shower-design   I tend to think your problem was w/the cake rather than the use of fondant flowers.  Perhaps it wan't baked enough or the wrong recipe? 

Also, thought this cake does not have any flowers it does have a whole sheet (5/7?) of fondant over a small stacked cake w/no sagging.    https://www.cakecentral.com/gallery/i/6346/unger3jpg
