I usually use candy melts for speed, but is more noticeable than I like. I was thinking royal icing may be less messy.? But it takes so long to dry.
I have til Friday to get my loops together into a bow, and it's too late to use wire and can't stick the ends into the cake (it's fondant) so I want to know what the best, least messy way to glue my loops together so that minimal "glue" is showing. |

royal works. You can also use some gumpaste mixed with a tiny bit of water. stir it will something like a palette knife, smashin and mixing until it is barely wet enough to brush on. |

I'm not sure gumglue is going to work well enough. It will take a long time to dry so you will have to hold the piece in place all that time. |

I just used regular icing but it was resting on the cake so it may not work. I have heard good things about the Tylose 'glue' and I think it dries pretty fast too. Good luck  |

RI works for me too. It dries in 24 hours (as long as you don't use a HUGE glob of it.) |

Thylose powder mixed with hot water, best to leave for a few hours or overnight until dry - This is probably the same technique as Aine2. Once made it will give an instant invisible glue which dries very quickly, without a mess & clear, which means you can use it on any colour icing. This is what I use to do all my sugar modelling work. |

I am quite a novice but I just did my first one this past weekend and I used little flat circles of gumpaste. I laid down a layer of loops, rolled out a small circle of gumpaste, dabbed it with water, laid the edges of the next layer of loops on it, repeated and then made a small ball of gumpaste that i dabbed with water for the one loop that sits in the center. I dont think it was noticeable and the bow traveled, in tact, 4.5 hours in a car trip and it never broke or fell apart. |

I wire each loop and then stick it in the cake. Works great, and I think it looks more reaistic. |

I use the white chocolate... it only takes a small amount and you don't have to wait a long time for it to set up... You can't see the chocolate when you are done.. I have several I've done in my photos.... |
