Hi- I am looking for a way to make a gluing medium that is transparent. I have a cake next week that will be a 6 and 10 round flourless chocolate with chocolate ganache which has a very full cascade of loose royal icing cherry blossoms from top to bottom which curl around the bottom edge. Is there a way to do this with piping gel? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Piping gel works great. The chocolate ganache piped behind the flowers in small dots would work well also.

You can make a sugar glue by adding a tsp of CMC to a very smal bowl of water, warm it up a little in the microwave and stir until dissolved - it should be the consistency of wallpaper paste. Then paint it on where you want to stick something, leave it a few minutes to go tacky and then stick the thing on. It's going to hold stronger than piping gel but has the same consistency. It looks wet on the cake for a few hours and then dries to a matt finish so you can't see it. CMC is like tylose powder or gum tracaganth
Thanks to both of you for the help. Can't wait to try your tips.
