re: Help pls! How do I secure a diamante brooch to extra large gumpaste bows?

Thanks a lot Jennifer, yes they are heavy metal brooches. Will do a try out your suggestion as regards the hot glue to see how it goes before the main event. As for transporting the big bows, putting them in place on the cake – this is very risky, roads in this part of the world are not ideal. Even transporting already assembled sugar flowers is a big risk. I really appreciate your feedback, many thanks!
