I am making a cake for tomorrow and I am planning on putting royal icing daisy's on a buttercream cake. Someone said that the buttercream will break down my flowers and cause them to crumble. I made the daisy's last weekend so they are good and dry will they be fine or should I rethink my cake? Any help on this will be GREATLY appreciated.

Hello and welcome to Cakecentral!

I have put royal icing flowers on BC icing up to 24 hours in advance, with no problems whatsoever.

HTH!

Hi there, I've done the same thing and there was no problem at ll the daisies were fine there is a picture of the cake in my photos (its the brtz cake) Good luck

I have used royal icing flowers on buttercream and it works fine! I think it would take several days before the royal would start to get soft, from what I understand. I have only had one in my presence for 24 hours, with no signs of breakdown!

Go for it. Over time the fat from the buttercream could break down the royal icing, but if it is for tomorrow, you should be good to go!

I've done this very thing several times with no trouble at all.

Daisies are my favorite!

First let me say Welcome Welcome Welcome.


Your flowers will be fine. Nothing to worry about.


Good Luck

Take Care,

I have done it w/o a problem.

Thanks for all the welcome notes and THANKS for the advice. I feel alot better about it now. When my cakes get as pretty as the ones I see here I will start posting them. Have a great weekend everyone! It's almost here 2 hours and 23 minutes for me!
