HELP...does anyone have a recipe for a small batch of royal icing??? I just need a little to attach a fondant/gumpaste piece to popsicle sticks to stand up on top of a cake. I don't really want to make a whole batch. If not, is there anything else you can recommend that will be strong enough to "glue" the sticks to the piece? I've heard about melting candy melts, but I just don't know if they're strong enough.
Thanks.
The most I've ever gotten away with was cutting Antonia74's recipe in 1/2. I'm not sure if you could do it even less than that but it'd be worth a try...let us know how it works!

How about making some gumpaste glue? Put a small piece of gumpaste in a small amount of water till it dissolves. Make it pretty thick. Not sure if it would be strong enough for what you want though.
i often mix upjust a small amount by hand, using the wilton recipe.
2 cups of powdered sugar
1 1/2 tbs meringue pwd
and 2 1/2 tbsp water,
makes less then a cup.
put it all in a bowl and mix it well.
chocolate will always work.
Thanks for the ideas. I think I will either try the small batch of royal icing that you gave me or the chocolate. I was just worried that the chocolate wouldn't be strong enough to support it. It's not a big piece though. It's just a crown, so I may even try the chocolate first.
Thanks again.
