Decorating By Claudine1976 Updated 4 Dec 2005 , 5:28pm by ThePastryDiva
I made 4 days ago the animal caracters for my sins first b-day, they came out ok, but now they are falling apart (the ears, and pupils, and the small pieces, how do I put them back together (after they dry) and how do I put them on the cake (is a two stacked cakes a 10 and a 6 on top, I was planning for the animals to go on the sides of the second cake or top one, but i have no idea how to adhere them to the mmf)Thanks a lot....Claudia.
Those animals are sooo cute!
I would follow TamiAZ's advice, use the royal icing to hold everything in place.
Make sure you post a pic of that cake, I can't wait to see it!
Another thing is to make a fondant adhesive, i saw this in a Wilton yearbook. You mix a little bit of fondant with water to make a wet paste. It works real well too. Those are cute!!!!! I'm making a cake right now with fondant animals and they were a pain!!!
Good luck!!!!
Thanks!!! I did not expect so many answers so soon!!! thanks a lot!, but if I use RI, do I have to color de icing with the same color os the fondant pieces, for example to atach the ears to the monkey? or the eyes of the elefant (the little black dots came loose)...this cake is for my baby first year (firts baby), so have a special meaning for me. Last nigth I didnt sleep thinking about the cake 
any help will be apreciated... 
...or the eyes of the elefant (the little black dots came loose)
You can use your black color paste to paint the black of the eyes. Use a small (new/unused) paint brush or if I just need a dot I use a toothpick.
When I do fondant pieces I use piping gel to glue it together. It's clear so you don't have to color it.
very nice peices! you have a great talent there!
also if you wish to make your pieces totally edible, once you're done using your royal icing...you can pipe lines.
When these are dry, store them for future use. Use like you would a toothpick or spagetti stick.
You dont' have to worry too much about the kidlets eating this as they will melt when they are eaten.
Hope this helps!
