what is MM in the recipe?
Could be marshmallows
Did this thread get corrupted? It says there are 9 pages but I get a "no topics exist" notice when I click on the last page. Is this happening to anyone else?
It happens to me frequently. I usually have to "sneak up on it," that is, start on page 7, then go to 8, then go to 9 and it will probably be there. But not always. Quirky site.
Sugar. 50.5 grams
Dried egg white. 5.6 grams
Starch. 0.3 grams
Xanthan Gum 0.3 grams
Maltodextrin. 1.0 .gram
This dry mixture has water added to it.
For this recipe, has anyone tried it with cornstarch as the 0.3 grams of starch? If not, what do you use?
I tried the Gummy Spider Web recipe today for lack of anything else to make "webs" and I found it turned out fine. It is like gummy worm consistency, so if you're going for cotton candy like webs, or lace, this isn't going to work.
I put the liquid in a squeeze bottle (the kind you use for candy melts/candy making) and flung it back and forth on two-sheets-wide of waxed paper (coated in Crisco) in a criss cross pattern, and then just diagonal a few times. It dries to the touch in about an hour or two. It did not dry hard, but I messed up the recipe in halving it
I halved everything except the 1 cup of water for the gelatin, so it was more liquid-y than it should have been.Here is a picture of my webbing with mess up on the recipe:
Your so called messed up recipe for the web looks fantastic!!! That web effect is stellar since the lines aren't symmetrical and don't follow a pattern. Way to go! 
I'm w/ you on this. the "icing" that came w/ the sugarveil gadgets just won't work for me.. tried it several times, to no avail 
.. I'm gonna try somethin-sweet's recipe, & hopefully it'll work in our tropical, humid all year round weather :/

Red hot....I am going to try your recipe...thanks....I'll post my results....
BUT...
I just want to say, that amazing as they make it seem...Sugarveil did not work for me. I have posted this before. I think I'm pretty capable in the kitchen. I bought the powder, followed instructions to a tee, 3 times. I kept getting a very frothy liquid that actually turned yellow in the bag after a day.
I wrote to the company and they suggested I tried again. I did....and I was very careful....no dice.
I have read forums where people have had success....maybe it was me? Maybe I got a bad batch? Who knows....but this was my experience.
thanks for sharing you recipe.. got me the sugarveil kit a couple years ago, but unfortunately, the icing powder that went w/ the kit doesn't work for me . now it's just sitting in the cabinet . hopefully yours will.. thanks again!
Oops! Sorry crp7- thought I had done that- must have been on another forum! Here it is.......
3 egg whites
1Tbsp Cream of Tartar
2lbs Powder Sugar
1 pkg Gelatin (dissolved in a little bit of water)
2 cups MM (melted)
I mixed the first 3 ingredients together for 10 minutes as if making royal........then added the Gelatin, then the Marshmellows..........beat until it is stiff enough to pipe ( maybe 5 more minutes or so)
Try it and see what you think!
Just stumbled across your post and figured I'd share a recent little discovery, you can spread sugarveil out really thin on a silicone mat and run it through a Cricut machine or any other electronic cutting machine to cut any design you need and I have been making some lace stencils for my cakes and will be trying this in the next few weeks on a few cake orders I have to fill....... Good luck and hope this helps.
Do you have a knockoff recipe you want to share? ; )
Here is the recipe she posted! its on page 2

If it works I sure would like to have the ratio of the ingrediants
AThe humidity here is extremely high.so I always use oven to dry my confectionery icing. But once I take them out and keep in the air. They would turn to be sticky and soft again. Anyone has the idea to prevent this ? Or is it just normal? [IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3026124/width/200/height/400[/IMG]
It would be normal if that is confectionary icing. Not sure with the sugar veil from what I understand of the product. I have not used it to be quite honest.
The ingrediant to making the recipe flexible would be xanthan gum. Think chewing gum, it is the ingredient the makers of chewing gum use for that purpose.
Hi I have a home made sugar veil recipe!
You can increase the amount of ingredients if you need more of it.
Here goes..
1 Tbsp Tylose
1/4 cup BOILING Water
1Tbsp confectioner sugar
2 level tbsp corn starch
1/4 tsp meringue powder/egg white powder
1/2 tsp. corn syrup
Pinch of white icing color or one of your choice color
Add Tylose to boiling water and with a small fork mix until you get a clear mixture.
When mix is clear, add confectioner sugar and mix, then add your cornstarch and mix again. Add the meringue powder and mix again. Then add your corn syrup.
Add coloring after this has been mixed.
this mix can be kept in the refrigerator for a week. To work with it leave it at room temperature. Once you have made the lace, you can store it in a plastic zip lock bag.
To restore the elasticity, just place a damp kitchen towel on top, but not too long... keep checking it.
Good Luck!!!! :)
AI have bought the sugar veil set and other mats and its been a complete disaster. Not as easy as they make it look! One day I will try again.
AI too want the air powered icing set though!
I do know that one of the tips in using sugarveil is that you must not use any water that has been chemically softened, or with any added minerals.
They suggest you use only pure water no minerals or fluoride in it. Try using distilled water or water made by the Gerber Company called PURE.
Also, make sure that your home humidity is not too high or too low.

Do you have pictures of what you've created with your recipe? I'd love to see it
ACan't you use ck gumpaste mix to imitate sugarveil?
