I am practicing the art of "self taught" gumpaste flowers and I need some help. What do you use to glue the different parts together? I have seen equal part of meringue powder and water, fondant mixed with water, egg whites ... I am doing the cakes for my daughters wedding and have spent days on the flowers, but now I need to do arrangements.
Thanks for any advice that you can give me.

sorry can't help you here but I wanted to bump this up so someone would see it.....
I used clear vanilla extract with a paintbrush to put together all of my gumpaste roses and even after almost a year, they're still "glued" together!
Thanks, thyterrell. That is what I have used for my roses, but I am having to add calyx, stems and leaves to my gumpaste dogwood. I am making a little ball, flattening one side and putting a wire in - gluing that to the blossom so that I can put the calyx on top of the ball. I will try one with the clear vanilla and see if it holds.
I appreciate your advice.
Martha
