SUGAR PASTE (Flower making paste)
Ingredients
50 mls Water
3 teaspoons gelatine
2 teaspoons of Copha (vegetable shortening) then melt
1 teaspoon liquid glucose
2 teaspoons CMC (Tylose)
500g Pure icing sugar
1 egg white
Instructions
Put gelatine in water and leave to soak
Divide sifted icing sugar into two bowls
Put CMC into one half
Put water and gelatine over double boiler and dissolve with copha and glucose
When melted pour into bowl that has icing sugar and CMC in it
mix up and add lightly beaten egg white
Add rest of icing sugar until a paste has formed (I turn out on to bench add knead as it is easier)
Knead well until smooth
break into 5 or 6 balls
Wrap in plastic wrap and leave in fridge for 24 hours. It can then be left in fridge or placed in freezer if it is not going to be used in a hurry. a little will go a long way.
