I know lots of you have done cake dummies and/or use styrofoam for accent or structural pieces b/c of it being light. What do you use to get the fondant to stick to the styrofoam? I have a drum set I need to do and the drums have these angle pieces on them at the top and bottom of each support piece (I haven't a clue what the technical name is). I was thinking to cut the shapes from styrofoam for the light weight factor and thinking it would be easier to get them to stick to the cake.

Thanks!

All you need is water. I use it all the time.

I mix water and piping jel and then paint it on the styrofoam with a pastry brush.

I am covering eggs in polystyene and have not used anything to stick them with, just the fondant.
