How do I get my fondant numbers to stand up on top of my cakes. I tried everything. Anything that I used as a "glue" just made the fondant soft and break at that area.
Have you tried royal icing? If it's the same colour as the fondant it would blend in.
Also you could make a paste out of the fondant with a little water - this should do the same job - just make sure it's not too runny.
I'm in th UK and make sugarglue out of tylos; 1 tsp Tylos, 30 tsp water - leave overnight and it makes an edible glue

Did you put skewers or toothpicks in your numbers? If you do this when you form them, that will give you something to insert into your cake.
Hope that helps.

Try melted white chocolate. It sets up quickly and is almost translucent. The almond bark at the grocery store works really well as "glue".

Thank you all for your help. darkchocolate, my mom made that suggestion too. I will try some of these next time.
