Can anyone tell me the best way to secure gumpaste roses to MMF? Would wire or toothpicks work? Any help greatly appreciated!!

You can also use icing to attach the roses.

I've read to use royal icing a lot but I always use buttercream.

when I make big roses or any flower, I insert a toothpick before they dry. For smaller ones, use royal icing. Royal Icing is like stucco to cake. Very good glue, never fails.
