Does anyone have a recipe for a small batch of gumpaste? I just need enough to make one high heel shoe the one that is on the tutorial here and a couple little make-up pieces.
TIA

Gumtex? Where would I find that? Is that gumpaste you buy from a store? Sorry, I've never actually worked with gumpaste before so not familiar with the terminology. icon_confused.gif

your other option is to make modelling paste according to aine2's method: 250 gr fondant to 1/2 tylose (cmc) powder. this will probably five you more than you need.
