Petals once dry are very hard to reattach, royal icing is probably your best bet.  You could also use white chocolate but the repair will be more noticeable.

Thank you Karen. I was using piping gel to glue some double daisies and iit worked fine. But the large daisies have some broken petals at the base, and I don't think the piping gel or my edible glue will do the trick. I'm looking for some 'edible crazy glue', lol. I thought about melting white chocolate, I remember using it before. What do you think?

Hi Sandra, I just used the normal edible glue, which is a mixture of CMC and water, or you could use Tylose or Gum Trag instead of the CMC.

Karen, I am curious as to what medium you used to glue them?

Thanks everyone, I actually made these with a hydrangea cutter it was the only one I could find with the right shape, I then cut it into four and used a toothpick to curl them at the base all the petals are attached individually,  you have to dry each row before attaching the next, definitely not a flower to make if your in a hurry!
