The professionals may know this, but the newbies may not. I was watching some Wilton videos and saw that Nancy made 'glue' out of fondant and water. So I tried it... I took a 3/4'' ball of fondant and a 1/2 teaspoon of water and mixed and mashed.. I let it sit until the fondant was dissolved and it is the most amazing glue! When I'd make figures sometimes their arms would slide, or the water just wouldn't hold them together. Every figure that I pieced together yesterday has held together without any help. I know there is a brand name of glue for gumpaste and fondant but I have not found it. I save all the little jars from colors when they get empty, I wash them out and store them and now I have the perfect little jar of glue.. Hope it helps someone..
Thanks for posting angelia I used to do this too but now i use my Tylose powder, mixed with bowling water and allowed to cool, its so cheap and makes an excellent edible glue x
I can not find tylose.lol. I wish I could. I'll have to order it online from somewhere..
It also works with gumpaste...I take a ball and drop it in a couple teaspoons boiling water and melt it....it is great!!
I honestly check Michaels and AC Moore weekly, cause I'm there every week.lol They don't even have a stick on the shelf, but now that I know others can get it there I'll have to ask them about it.
If you have a Michaels, JoAnns, or Hobby Lobby, they carry the Tylose pwd.
None of the above mentioned stores carry Tylose. It can only be found at dedicated cake deco shops or online.
Those stores do carry gum tex, a Wilton product, and it can be used to make gum glue by mixing it with water.

My old Wilton teacher told us about using left over gumpaste bits and just keeping them until we need glue. Then just adding a bit of water.
Works great!
I use a small piece of gumpaste, and dilute in about 2 Tbsp of water. It's the best glue! And cheap!
