Hi,

This is my first time doing a 3D tiara.  I'm following a tutorial that I found online.

I'm using pipping gel to glue the pieces together.  I think is not working properly.  the pieces are not staying together and I'm afraid on doing the other site of the tiara ;(

Should I live it and continue working on it tomorrow.. give it a chance to dry?

PLEASE HELP!!!! ;'(

can you show a picture of what you are having trouble with?  I have done a fondant tiara and a royal icing one but not sure about what parts you are gluing together...

We may be thinking of different products, but the piping gel I've used stays soft and jelly like - could you mean royal icing?  That dries hard like glue.  What brand or type of product are you using for the gluing?

AEgg white is a great glue. It dries hard and fast.

Hi Liz, cakemommy2012 & Kellig,

I'm actually using fondant to make the tiara.  I left it over night and it looks GREAT!! I'm so glad.

the pipping gel worked. 

Thanks for your help ladies.

I'm surprised it isstaying together with the piping gel.......Piping gel never "sets" and is not a "glue".   Be prepared for it to fall apart on you when you move it...but there are products to use to glue it.   I always use white chocolate as my "glue" because it dries so fast.   There is an edible glue in the recipe section or you can use royal icing.  Let us know...

i glue with a mix of water and CMK powder (not sure if it is a cal-java only product).  I also use CMK to harden my fondants instead of working in prepared gumpaste.  

AYou can make glue by using a small amt of fondant with water and mix together. Works great!

AThanks for the tip
