How do I get sprinkles to stick to fondant?


(I know, what a dire emergency, huh? )

I'm making a cake for a friend and I never thought through the "how" of the sprinkles. Eek!

Uh, maybe use a hairdryer to melt the surface of the fondant a little, then put the sprinkles on really quickly? It might mess with the sheen of the fondant, though.

Would using a pastry brush to get the fondant slightly wet, and then applying the sprinkles, work? I've never worked with fondant, you'd want to try it somewhere inconspicuous, or maybe if you have some extra that's not on the cake, I don't know if something could go horribly wrong with this method.

I tried the water method on an extra peice. Worked great! Thank you!!
