I need sugar veil fast but none available so I heard you could use TBK gumpaste mix just like you do Sugar Veil. I am going to use in one of the Sugar Veil lace mats....has anyone done this with the TBK mix? Does it work?
Haven't tried the TBK gum paste, but I did find this recipe online the other day (haven't tried it either, but it might be worth a try):
Homemade Sugarveil Recipe (by Tami Dragoo)
1 Tbs. tylose powder
1 Tbs. powdered sugar
2 Tbs. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. meringue powder
1/2 tsp. light corn syrup
1/4 c. boiling water
Mix until incorporated. Add color as desired.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
It worked B E A U T I F U L L Y !!!!
It was ready to peel off the lace mold in less than 3 hours too. I did place it on a sheet pan in the oven with just the oven light on as I live in very humid weather.
I used distilled water just in case, and I added black color to the boiling water as well as the corn syrup to the boiling water so it would all release into from the spoon.
I only wish I had tried it before buying 2 bags of sugar veil online with 2 day delivery charges - ugh!
Thank you so much!

Does this make enough volume to mix in a stand mixer? Doesn't seem like enough ingredients (volume wise) to touch the whisk.
Barely - I had to mix mostly by hand. I used my 6 QT Kitchenaid with the whisk, but it is a very small amount. Had to stop frequently and push mix down. Then just used a strong spatula to mix it by hand. However it is enough for about 1.75 of the large sugarveil molds.
That's really great news--thanks for being the guinea pig!
I'm so very glad that it worked well for you!
I have tried to make this twice and each time it is a glob. What am I doing wrong? is the cornstarch measured in teaspoon or tablespoon? I see two different variations. Does tylose go bad? Mine is maybe 18 months old and has been in a sealed container, but as soon as I add the boiling water, it becomes gel. It is CK brand.
Tylose is supposed to be a gel when it gets wet so that's normal. Try this recipe I came up with , it worked well but it adds another gum and reserves the tylose until the end of the mixing part. Creepy and rubbery but it worked. http://acaketorememberva.blogspot.com/2013/10/homemade-sugarveilelastic-icing.html
