Buttercream wedding cakes with fondant decorations

Hi Christina I would not recommend putting your fondant pieces on until the day of the event. 23062017 First you can ask your baker to include a thick layer of buttercream beneath a fondant exterior so that your guests will still get the rich flavor of buttercream without sacrificing design.

You can attach freshly cut pieces stripes diamonds dots or any cut out with water.

But anyways if you must put fondant decor on a buttercream cake i say u might need the help of tootpicks.

This happened to me once and I had to re do all of the decorations. Thats what my friend and i did for a wedding cake we make. It was a mess. This is such a classic design for a buttercream wedding cake. I generally dont recommend refrigerating or freezing a fondant cake. There was a time when hard-setting royal icing was the only decorative option when it came to your wedding cake but thankfully rock hard slabs of hardened sugar have fallen out of favour and your guests can hold onto their teeth a little longer. Second ask your baker to create a faux layer cake one made from foam with just the smallest layer on top made from real cake. Flowers in fondant will work provided its not really resting on the buttercream icing but the drapes i dont think so. You dont want them to be super thick though. The icing and decorations made from meringue buttercream will melt or slip if left out during a hot humid day so choose a different option for those pretty summer weddings outdoors. If the decoration is heavy or bulky add decorative flourishes of fresh buttercream around the fondant decoration to help stabilize it.
