Just tried the draping technique on a buttercream frosted cake and it turned out pretty good. Have to get the spacing technique down. Wish I had taken pics, though. Looked almost like a fondant drape.

Ohh...next time you do one, take pics as you go along and make a How To article, and submit it to Jackie or Heath, please with sugar on top...I would love to see how it's done.

yes, me too!!!

I have trouble draping fondant....how in the world did you do it w/bc?

Too bad. I would've loved to see the pics too!!

I'll do a small cake this weekend to practice more and take pics. You let the icing set (crust) for about 10-15 minutes, then with a Viva paper towel on the side, I use the fondant smoother to push down on the side then repeat and stop just at the top of the 1st drape. Sounds odd but it looked really nice--just spacing and getting drapes the same depth, I have to work on.

Mac.. can you tell me if this is similar to the look on my cake "Krand Wedding Cake" It is posted in my photos.

Yes, it is--
In fact, you gave me the idea, I just couldn't remember where I saw it. Yours looks so much better than mine. I'm so glad you saw this post because everybody needs to see your BC draping. I think it looks great.
