I want to purchase a new brand of premade gumpaste and am looking at Satin Ice. Anyone have good or bad experiences with it? How is the drying time?

Satin Ice gumpaste is what I mainly use. I love its texture and workability. Drying time would depend on how thin or big your gumpaste items are, and how humid it is where you live.

I like it too! It's better than the gumpaste I was making at home...more consistent. I hate making fondant and gumpaste for some reason so I'd much rather buy it and save myself the time and headache.

I think Satin Ice has a good taste, but for me, it seems to get more firm once the cakes are covered than other fondants I have tried. The outer portion seems to get hard but the inner portion closest to the cake is fine. It just makes it a little harder to cut through and gives it a more chewy texture than other fondants. White chocolate fondant or Pettinice fondant doesn't do this. However, when molding, Satin Ice firms up better and is easier for me to use with silicone molds and making figures.

I use Satin Ice gumpaste as well. It doesn't dry as quickly as some of the other brands - but I like that. If I need something really hard really quick I pop in the dehydrator. Go and get it!
