How to Make Gelatin Flowers Stick to Fondant

If you're looking to "wow" your guests with your formal cake, delicate-looking gelatin flowers offer an alternative to typical sugar paste flowers. These faux flowers are made by pulling thick gelatin into petal shapes and attaching them together with dabs of dissolved gelatin. Once the flowers dry, they become hard enough to use to decorate a cake. Attaching them to the surface of a fondant-covered cake will require the use of an edible glue.
