Hi, I was just wondering if making flowers or leaves with gumpaste would make them less breakable than if I made them with mmf. I've had problems with palm tree leaves that I made with mmf, they were breaking a few minutes after I attached them to the trunk.
What if I added Gum-Tex to mmf?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Hi, gumpaste is dries harder than fondant. What you can do is, if you have gumpaste and fondant mix 50/50 from both. I haven't worked with gumtex, but I recently saw a member mentioning that you could add gumtex to fondant. If you are going to do that, add 1/2 a teaspoon of gumtex to 250g fondant. That should work nicely.
HTH.
I really like a 50/50 gumpaste and fondant mixture. It still will dry hard, but gives you a longer working time.

I too use a 50/50 mix and it works great for flowers and bows. Just this week a cake friend of mine that has way more experience than I do...told me that gumpaste is non edible and I should not mix it with my fondant. Is this true? Maybe I should start a new thread...but I would like to know the answer!
