I’m excited and nervous. This is the first tiered cake I will be paid for. The thing is the lady is picking the cake up Thursday evening for a Saturday party. It’s the only time we could work out. I’ll attach a pic of what I’m supposed to make. My question is I’ve already made the fondant apple. I was planning to glue it with choc to the fondant covering the cake. Will it be too heavy to sit for days without making the cake sag? Do I need to add a dowel underneath it?
I always use a toothpick and choc. Nothing hurt using a toothpick, just let her know it's in there. As far as the apple weighing down, it really depends on the weight of the apple. If it were me, and there is good weight to the apple, I would use a cookie stick (not taking up as much room as a dowel) underneath the apple, so it sits even with the fondant, then add a toothpick to front and back of apple and glue with chocolate underneath and just let her know what's all in there.
If it were me I would add some toothpicks or a short lollipop stick to the apple. So the combo of inserting the stick into the cake and the chocolate will make sure that sucker isn't going anywhere. If you are concerned about the weight then I would do as the previous poster said and insert some sticks/dowels into the cake where the apple is going to sit to help support it.
My motto is always better safe than sorry when it comes to supporting things on cakes.
