Covering Columns In Fondant Help....
Decorating By Gramms_Goodies Updated 25 Aug 2009 , 3:55am by tonedna
My intent is to cover separator columns with fondant with tylose added in for the legs of a standup spongebob cake. My question is...how in the world do I get it to stick to the columns long enough to dry, lol. 
Should I maybe "frost"' the columns with icing of some sort first? Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!! 
Thanks Edna! How funny I watched your tutorial on youtube the other day and thought how talented you are
I was afraid to use only water and wanted to check with the talented CC'rs
Take a tablespoon of meringue powder and add a bit of water. This should make a great glue to adhere darn near anything.
Also I would not stand it up while drying maybe have the ends resting on something while the fondant has a chance to adhere to the colums.
Hope this helps
Ok, here are my findings. Water made the fondant slide around on the columns a little too much....so I tried the meringue powder w/ water and voila'! Stuck like, well...glue, LOL. Thanks for your help you two!!! Spongebob now has legs,
Trick for you Gramma..too much water will make it slide..if you put the piece of fondant that you are going to adhere on top
of a moist paper towel it will give you enough moisture to glue fondant or gumpaste even on top of a cake..It should be wet just like when you wipe a table with a moist towel, never more than that or is trouble.

Thanks Edna, that is wonderful information to know...I assure you, I used too much water
