Water works for simple, flat fondant pieces where you just need a quick light bond. Edible glue is a stronger option for heavier decorations, raised elements, or anything that needs to hold in place while drying — such as fondant flowers, 3D figures, or multi-layer designs. Edible glue is also less likely to dissolve or soften the fondant surface compared to applying too much water. How much CMC powder do you add to fondant to strengthen it? A general guide is to knead in approximately 1 teaspoon of CMC (Tylose) powder per 250g of fondant. This converts regular fondant into a gum paste-style paste that dries firm and holds fine detail — ideal for making flowers, figurines, and decorations that need to set hard. Work the CMC in thoroughly and allow the fondant to rest for 15–30 minutes before shaping so the powder fully activates.
