to my dried fondant figurine? Can I use piping gel or is there something that is better for a strong hold?

Candy melts is the best way to go if you are trying to attach dry to dry.

I made butterflys not too long ago and I used candy melts to attach my wings then candy melts to attach them to the cake and I was surprised at how strong the hold was! Good luck!

Thanks everyone, I tried the fondant glue as suggested but it didn't work, so I tried the candy melts and it was much easier and stronger. Thanks for the tips!
