Before I have my second disaster with this cake (already had to strip off all the icing and start over), I thought I'd ask the experts. What's the best way to affix fondant drapes to buttercream?

Thanks!

Oh, boy....I have to do one in September. I did a single tier and the drape just stuck to the buttercream, no problem. Hope it goes that well for the real thing! Anybody have an answer?

No experience with this, but just a thought. When you form the drapes could you pinch the ends together, fold them back at a 90 degree angle, and push them into the cakes to act as "pins"? We'll be doing fondant drapes on the edge of a cake drum in a couple of weeks and are wondering how to do THAT!
