I'm trying to make fondant animal statues for my sons 1st birthday cake. So far I've attempted an elephant and I've done this by basically treating the fondant (with some gumtex added to it) as if it was clay or playdoh and made individual pieces to stick together...legs, arms, trunk, tummy, ears, head. How do I make the pieces stick together?
Just brush a little water on them if they are small like a nose or something. To get arms and legs to stay on you can put part of a raw noodle into the animal brush a little water on and then add the limb. Or you can take a little Tylose (I guess Gum Tex would work the same) and mix it w/ a tiny bit of water and it makes like a gel glue that is very sticky.

you can also you a bit of bc frosting.... good luck...I just push it together and it stuck after a couple of hours of being stuck....I also purchased a Modeling Clay book on how to make animals this weekend and I am proud to say I learn how to make a piggy!!!
