I'm making (Petunia's), made out of Royal Icing flowers. Using white Fondant over my cake. What color should I use for the buttercream to attach the flowers on the white Fondant covered cake. White or Peach.

I Appreciate any replies!!!!!!! THANKS A BUNCH.

Don't use buttercream to stick royal flowers to a fondant covered cake. I either use a little royal icing or a little watered down fondant in the same colour as the cave covering
