Mexican Paste

This medium is good for making flowers & decorations. It sets harder than regular fondant with cellogen and it is less likely to be affected by humidity. **Please note ** Measurements have been made with Australian standards – please check conversions into US.

Mexican Paste

Ingredients

  • 250g pure icing sugar
  • 3 level tspn cellogen
  • 1 heaped tspn pure glucose (the extra thick kind)

  • 2 tspn copha
  • 35ml boiling water

Instructions

  1. Mix icing sugar & cellogen in bowl making sure cellogen is fully blended.
  2. In a separate bowl, place glucose, copha & pour boiling water over top. Stir until all the copha & glucose have dissolved.
  3. Add liquid to icing mixture and mix roughly.
  4. Turn out onto a sugared surface & need/mix until combined & smooth. By the time you finish it should resemble regular fondant.
  5. Store wrapped in airtight bag/container.
  6. —————————————————
  7. This paste dries out fairly fast… only break off what you need to use and keep rest covered. Once dried it is very hard and will shatter if dropped.

    I doubt that there is acutally any nutrition in this!
