Decorate Buttercream With Fondant?
Decorating By EverlastingSweets Updated 8 Feb 2007 , 3:45am by bejewelled
Hello all! I'm about to do a present shaped cake, which most use fondant as a total coverall, but she wants buttercream. I was going to smooth it to look like fondant, but I have to put polka dots on it, so I was going to use fondant cutouts for that, but will they stick to the buttercream? or will they slide off?
I also have another cake, which will have fondant ropes in swags around the top edge of the cake, hanging off the sides...will these stay put? I'm trying to steer away from fondant because of the taste.
I've tried Marshmallow fondant, but to me, it's just too sweet. Unless someone knows of good tasting fondant?
Thank you!!
Just made a cake iced with buttercream and used fondant shapes on the sides and top. They stayed put just fine and some of them were quite heavy. I have pictures in my photo section. It is the one with the train, puppy, horse and train (white with blue and green accents). I had no troubles with the combination. Best of luck to you! Leslie

What about using candy clay instead of fondant, you can work it like fondant but tastes much nicer. There are recipeson CC for it
