What is the best way to adhere fondant or gum paste together? For instance, ears or horns. Thanks so much!
I use a small paintbrush and dip it in water,the water glues fondant well.
I know alot of people use royal icing also.
Water works well, particularly if the pieces are still fresh. If the pieces are dry or are particularly heavy and I really want to make sure they're solid, I dissolve a bit of fondant or gumpaste in water to make a glue.
Kerry Vincent has a rule that if both surfaces of your fondant are wet (meaning fresh), it's easier to get a good bond. If one surface is fresh and the other is dried, you can still get a decent bond. If both surfaces are dry, you need to do a little extra to make sure you get a good bond.
I have never heard of dissolving fondant in water to make glue...I am excited to try it.

For larger pieces or bows I use fondant dissolved in water. Use VERY LITTLE water because you don't want it to be thin. I first start by just getting my hand wet and working the fondant until it starts to dissolve in my hand then I put it in a cup and add a few drops at a time until I have the right consistency. There is probably a better method 
but that's the way that I do it. 
I also use piping gel for attaching heavier items - its a great glue.
Do you have any Tylose. Take a little Tylose and add a little water. Let it set until it melts. Stir. Makes a great glue.
Okay, I do have tylose. I will give it a try...Thanks!
All these glue/adhereing forums this morning and no mention of Tylose/water - edible glue. Does anyone else besides me still use this??
Absolutely! I understood that the op was asking for an adhesive for heavier fondant/gumpaste pieces.
