Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A
Fondant figures on top of a buttercream cake
Hi,
I have been asked to do a buttercream cake with two sugar paste figures on top, plus some writing. Can I make this with normal sugar paste? When I have used sugar paste decorations on cupcakes which have buttercream on, eventually they start to go soft (I assume this is because they are absorbing the fat from the buttercream). Do you have any advice for this?
Thanks,
Becky

Hi Becky
I normally place figures on their own small decorated card. Dowel the cake on which they will be placed if the figures are heavy. Hope this makes sense.
