Preferred Method For Attaching Fondant Accents

I'm wondering, what is everyone's preferred method for attaching fondant accents to fondant or buttercream cakes?
For attaching Fondant to fondant I mostly use vodka to attach the pieces, and then on on BC cake, I used bc to attach.
I've had good luck with putting fondant piece on a dampened paper towel for a few seconds then onto the buttercream.

I'll have to try that one. Thanks
I usually use water on a cake only paint brush for attaching to fondant and a small amount of BC when attaching to BC.
If attaching fondant items to b'cream - Pipe an open circle of icing - if a lg piece use several adn push onto cake. The circle formas a suction to help hold the piece to the cake.
Water is o.k. for attaching to fondant.
I use water and a very small amount of Tylose powder. After it disolves it becomes the consistency of glue. It works great for fondant on fondant.
I like to lick them and stick them on.
Ok, kidding!!! lol
I usually use water or buttercream or even royal icing if I'm using it on the cake anyway.
I was taught in a class to take pea size peice of fondant and put it in a couple of ounces of water (a baby food jar or some small container like that with a tight fitting lid) put the fondant in it let disolve and it acts like glue, it is not thick like glue.

HaHa! I do have a hard time remembering not to lick my fingers.
I use water if the fondant is still soft - for dried pieces, I use R.I or edible glue ( cmc/tylose mixed with water )

That is what I do and I looooooove it, I will not use anithing else ever
msullie10 and frankyola are doing what I was just taught in a class...tylose and water. It's the most secure way.
