Which glue you choose depends on what you want to stick together. Below you'll find general tips. For more information, click on the links.
- Edible glue is the most popular choice. It's used to:
- stick pieces of sugar paste together
- attach sticks and florist wires
- attach decorations (f.ex. dragees) to the cake.
- It will work only if at least one of the surfaces that you are trying to stick together is still soft (not dry).
- If softened paste or royal icing are not strong enough, you can try melted chocolate.
- Sometimes, for additional support, you need to use sticks or florist wires.
