Hi,
I am new to the decorating craze, is there any other way to get Fondant to stick to a cake other than Sugar glue? I do not have T, or MMF to make it the it has been previously stated in these forums. I am doing a cake for a baby shower and I am making a replica of a baby that matches the shower decorations. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. 
I am going to stick the fondant to buttercream, it's a baby face, and I want to put it on the side of the cake. I never thought about beaten egg whites or royal icing, Thanks for the ideas. Will the buttercream help it to hold on? I have attached an the baby shower theme, I would like to incorporate the baby face made out of fondant somewhere on the cake.
I don't work with buttercream cakes and don't have experience of attaching fondant accents to buttercream having said that I put fondant over buttercream all the time with no problems.
I wish I could offer experienced advice to you on this but sadly I can't sorry! Try the search function to go through the forums for your answers.
I thought there was an issue with the buttercream breaking down the RI so if you used that as glue it would be a waste of time, I think? Again I just don't know.
Hopefully someone can clarify this better for you. Lovely ideas though, would love to see the finished cake and best of luck!
depending on what i am doing the cake for i use clear alcohol (vodka or gin) but if it is for a childrens cake or highly likely children willbe eating it i use apricot jam diluted with boiling water to make a syrup, the reason for this is that both are 'sterile' and will not breed bacteria and mold -you need to use sterile stainless stell spoons to take out jam from jar to ensure no bacteria breeds in that also. I have heard of cases of cakes that have been 'kept' developing mildew/mould between the cake and icing, i think it would be quite rare but that is the reasoning behind it.
