I've looked in the recipes section but didn't see any recipes for a 50/50 fondant/gumpaste recipe. Do you just combine a fondant recipe with a gumpaste recipe? I would appreciate any recipes or suggestions!

Thanks
Carol

make each recipe seperate and then you can knead together to get 50/50 fondant and gumpaste. thats really the only way to do it.

Leahs,

Love your technical explanation for it! Sometimes we newbies think everything has to be difficult.

well, i have a question about this. i tint my fondant in the wet ingredients. i buy premade gumpaste. how should i go about mixing the two? do i need to knead color into my gumpaste before mixing a piece into my "now tinted and kneaded" fondant piece? cause prior to asking today, i've tried mixing a piece of white gumpaste with my colored piece of fondant, and it does lighten it up sort of(as it should since the gumpaste is white, i know.) so, tips, advice, and suggestions please. icon_biggrin.gif

I usually color mine after I've mixed it up. That way it ends up the color I want. Otherwise, I'm just having to tint it again after.

I'm glad someone posted this. After all the recipe was right in the topic title. I was wondering what I was missing.
