So if you're making a fondant figure with parts--like a person with a head and arms--how do you "glue" the parts on the body so that they don't fall off? I heard you're not supposed to use water with fondant...

Thanks!

you can buy edible glue in cake decorating shops/ sites, or alcohol like vodka. water can make it go mushy, but generally i still use it, cause its what i have handy, and im not attatching heavy things. for figures tho, i guess the water might not hold it so well?

I haven't ventured into fondant figures yet, but my favorite fondant glue by far is to dissolve a pea-sized ball of gumpaste in about 2 Tbsp. water. it works better than water or extract/vodka for me. Hope that helps.

If you check out aine2 she has a video telling you how to mix the best and strongest glue. She mixes a very small amount of tylose powder with cool boiled water and leaves it in the refrigerator over night to thicken ( dont worry about any lumps they will be gone in the morning) If its too thick just add a little more water. This is the best glue I have ever used for fondant or gumpaste it realy will stick anything. Hope this helps.

You can use raw spaghetti or toothpicks to help hold the parts in place while they dry. Break off a piece just long enough that you can stick half of it into the arm and the rest into the body.

(Don't use toothpicks unless you're sure it won't get eaten!)

I like tylose powder w/ water or vodka. Keep it covered though

What Nic Lodge taught us is to save your empty Tylose Bottle and fill it w/water. Shake well & store in frig. Keeps forever
