hello my cake decorating friends!

I would be very happy if i could get a cold porcelin recipe.I recently bought some books from cakecentral, one of which is sugar orchids by Alan Dunn, in which there is a recipe. I live in Trinidad, west indies, and I am not familiar with some of the ingredients.I need help, either substitutes or a new recipe. I'd be very grateful. This is the recipe I have

2-3 tbsp baby oil
1/2 cup non-toxic hi-tack glue (???????)
1/2 cup white PVA woodglue
1 cup cornflour
permanent white gouache(???????????)

please help me. i am very excited to start.

I found these sites that may be of help to you...

to answer your questions, the high-tack glue is just any craft glue that's non-toxic. I'm not familiar with brands in Trinidad, but something that kids use in school should be what you can use.

As for white gouache, I've never heard of it, but after doing some research online, this is what I've found... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouache
