I'm doing a Gucci bag cake this weekend. White purse with gold pattern and details. If I make my handles and detalis and then paint them gold, will they stil be plyable enough to bend into shape on the cake after the gold paint dries? Or do you place them, then paint on the gold?

Thanks for your help!
