    Melt a little bit of white fondant with boiling water and use that as your glue. Paint it on with your fingertip or a small paintbrush.

    which brand do you recomend?

    i just got some orchard brand to have a play with and it went really soft really quick..
    also it needs the bench to be dusted with icing sugar which is fine when its just white.. i put some pink colouring in it and while rolling it out i was getting white spots from the icing?

    doudou, I also noticed the Pink Orchard box, went soft really quickly (not sure if you are using the pink or purple?)

    If you are getting white spots from the icing sugar on the coloured fondant, you can put the side that is marked with the icing sugar, face down on the cake.

    can a fondant covered cake be stored in the fridge? or will it go soft??

    no, dont store it in the fridge it will get sticky from the moisture. i usually cover my cake the day before its needed and just leave it uncovered in a cool (ie - not sunny), dry place. I do put one of those food covers over it though to stop any nastys taking a taste. I would assume its ok to put it in an airtight container but i dont have one big enough to fit most of my cakes.
