How do I make this mixture? Actually, I know the mmf but what do I do to make it that mixture?

I'm painfully new at all this, so I can't speak with any authority, but I just experimented with this over the weekend so I thought I'd share. I made MMF and then I made gumpaste. Then I just took equal amounts of each and kneaded them together. The things I made out of fondant are still soft and pliable 3 days later. The 1/2 and 1/2 stuff is fairly stiff. The straight gumpaste is rock-hard.

How did you make the gumpaste? I'm new too!

Here is a recipe that I just gave to someone else and this is what I use all the time works great can flavor it with anything and stays good for a long time. I don't use my KA because I do not feel it woks that great , get better time by hand and than store it in a cabinet in a zip lock

I just used a gumpaste mix by Wilton that I bought at Hobby Lobby. I'm sure there are cheaper and yummier ways to go about it, but I just wanted a quick and easy way to experiment with it. It was just a canister of powder that you mix with water and then knead in some powdered sugar.
