I have an order for (the state of) Texas flag cookies coming up in a few weeks.  I planned to frost my cookies with red, white and blue royal icing.  I had the idea of making white fondant stars because I have a cutter that is the perfect size and that shape will be much more precise than anything i could pipe.

1.) Can I put the dried fondant star in wet, blue royal icing?  or will it melt or just not dry correctly?

2.) If I wait and affix the dry fondant star to dry royal icing, how do I do that?  a dot of royal icing?  Meringue powder and water? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks everyone!

I would wait until the royal icing is dry before attaching the dried fondant star.  You can use a dot of royal icing to attach it with no problems.

Thank you so much!  I appreciate your help!  =D

Your very welcome.  Please post pictures of them when you are finished.

I have used fondant cutouts with wet royal icing before with success. If you think about itl, piping fresh royal icing onto a fondant cake doesn’t cause any erosion of the fondant—if you make a mistake you can wipe it off.  So, I think this should work as long as the royal icing isn’t too wet. 

To be on the safe side, I would cut out the fondant stars ahead of time and let them dry a bit if you have time.

Thank you all so much for your help!  I did it both ways.  I let the royal icing dry and then applied the stars with a dot of RI and also put the stars in wet royal icing, they both working perfectly. I actually do prefer the stars inset a little bit too. 

The size of my picture is too big to upload, so I will post the pictures on my blog in a few days (once both weddings are over).  Feel free to view them here:

Thanks! =D

All of your baking is so lovely, creative and well-executed!  And let me at those homemade oreos!!!!!!

T A C, lovely stuff there!  I cracked a wide smile for the “Barktoberfest” cookies

aww, thank you guys!  I appreciate it!  I have a new question for you.  How does fondant handle freezing?  Could i put these cookies in the freezer and then un-thaw them in a few days? I freeze and un-thaw frosted cookies all the time, but never with fondant pieces.  I am hoping you can help! Thanks!

Wow, just had a chance to look at your blog…your work is lovely!  Everything is so well done…loved the flower cupcakes especially and the bachelorette cookies are so cute…magic with royal icing!

Here we go!  I will post all of my Texas cookies after the last wedding this weekend on my blog!  Whew, Texas flag cookies were taking over my kitchen for awhile! =D
Thank you everyone for your help! 
p.s. fondant can be frozen on cookies and thawed!

gorgeous!!!!!!!

Beautiful!  Thanks for reporting back on the frozen fondant.

I looked at your blog.  Your work is beautiful.  I am totally intimidated.
