I have some letters that were cut from gum paste, and I want to "glue" them onto a gum paste plaque. What is the best "glue" to use so that the letters do not shift?

Thanks so much!

I like royal icing - but there might be something even better. Anyone else?

sorry i fogot the recipe

dissolve 1 teaspoon in 1/4 cup of water, then stir over hot water until smooth.

you can use this as a glue or a strengthening agent in your mmf.

I have used royal icing as a glue. I have also found that very thin pieces of gumpaste adhere nicely if I dip a paint brush in vodka,lightly paint the surface and lay on the gumpaste.
