How do you attach dragees to fondant? Does it matter if the fondant has already dried? TIA!

I always make a small indent with a small round tool place a dab of piping gel and then use tweezers and place the dragee in place. Hopefully the fondant is not too hard otherwise it will crack. A dab of glue would also work.

I make a mixture of water and a tiny bit of tylose powder. After a little while the mixture becomes very thick and has the consistency of glue. It works great.

Sorry just thought you would realise tylose glue. Thanks msulli10 for clarifying that.

I realized it, I just figured that since the OP didn't have any idea what to use to glue them she would not know about tylose glue.
