This past weekend I covered a cake drum with contact paper and then covered it with food-safe cellophane (the same one that is usually used for food baskets)
After covering the board, I proceeded to add fondant lettering to the board on top of the cellophane....but the fondant would not stick. I use to use a plane foil colored cake drum and never had problems with the fondant letters sticking - I would just use some water and they would stay with no problems.
But I noticed that the fondant will not stick to the cellophane.
Is there another way or some type of edible glue I can use to make the letters stay put?
TIA
Maybe an egg wash? Although I am sure there will be some people who would just die over the threat of salmonella.
thanks, i'll give these a try today. The piping gel might be tacky enough to work
debbief, is there a certain ratio i need to use for the tylose and water? or do i make a semi-thick paste?
Edible glu needs to sit in fridge over night before using
Learn something new everyday. I've never heard that nor have I ever done it and it's always worked fine for me. However, I have learned that it needs to be stored in the refrigerator.

I don't really use an exact ratio, I just eyeball it really. I usually fill one of those little plastic condiment type containers 1/4 full with water then sprinkle a little tylose powder in it and stir well. It thickens pretty quick so just do a little at a time until you get the consistency you're looking for.
Although, I really like the shortening idea that Tiggy2 suggested. I think that would make the letters stick to the board enough so they are not sliding around or falling off and that's really all you need right?
) well, i must say the piping gel trick is awesome! i used it last night on my princess tiana cake and it worked like a charm. i woke up this morning and all the letters are stuck in place! thank you again!
