What is the best way to attach candy clay decorations to crusted buttercream?

Buttercream? Water? Fondant adhesive?

Thanks!

I personally prefer buttercream or royal (whichever you have). The candy clay doesn't 'melt' the way fondant does when you brush it with water.

Buttercream was what I was thinking...

I'm attaching candy clay mum leaves to the buttercream cake, then air dried buttercream mums to the leaves. Bride wanted everything edible.

you can also use a little bit of melted chocolate.

I'm attaching everything at the venue, so melted chocolate is not an option.
