If you love making elegant and intricate sugarpaste decorations for your cakes, you might have come across the challenge of attaching the host to the sugarpaste. This step is crucial to ensure your decoration stays securely in place on the cake. In this blog post, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this successfully.

What You’ll Need

  • Sugarpaste decoration
  • Finished cake
  • Edible glue or royal icing
  • Small paintbrush
  • Water or vodka (optional)

Step 1: Prepare Your Sugarpaste Decoration

Before attaching the host to the sugarpaste, ensure that your sugarpaste decoration is ready. This could be a delicate sugar flower or any other crafted design. Make sure it is firm and dry to prevent any damage during the attaching process.

Step 2: Position Your Sugarpaste Decoration

Decide on the desired position of your sugarpaste decoration on the cake. Take into account the overall design and aesthetics of your cake. Once you’ve made your decision, gently place your sugarpaste decoration on the cake to have an idea of how it will look.

Step 3: Apply Edible Glue or Royal Icing

To attach the host to the sugarpaste, you can use edible glue or royal icing. Edible glue works well for lightweight decorations, while royal icing provides extra support for larger and heavier decorations.

Using a small paintbrush, apply a thin layer of edible glue or royal icing to the area of the cake where you want to attach your sugarpaste decoration. Ensure the layer is evenly spread and covers enough surface area for a secure attachment.

Step 4: Attach Your Sugarpaste Decoration

Now it’s time to carefully attach your sugarpaste decoration to the cake. Gently place it on the area where you applied the edible glue or royal icing. Press it lightly against the cake to ensure it adheres properly.

If you’re working with a flat sugarpaste decoration, use your fingertip or a clean tool to apply gentle pressure around the edges to secure it further. Be careful not to damage the decoration while doing this.

Step 5: Allow Time to Set

Once your sugarpaste decoration is attached to the cake, allow it some time to set and dry. This is especially important if you’re working with royal icing. The drying time will vary based on the humidity and temperature of your environment, but a few hours should be sufficient in most cases.

Note: If your sugarpaste decoration is very delicate or has a curved shape, you can use a small amount of water or vodka to help it adhere to the cake. Apply the liquid sparingly and be mindful not to use too much, as it can dissolve the sugarpaste.

Final Thoughts

Attaching the host to the sugarpaste requires skill and patience, but with the right techniques, you can achieve a beautiful and secure result. Remember to use edible glue or royal icing, position your decoration carefully, and allow sufficient drying time. Enjoy creating stunning sugarpaste decorations for your cakes!
