any tips. i've been so busy, i forgot that i needed to do gumpaste decorations for a cake thursday am- is it too late?
Straight gumpaste? How thick? If it's very thin, like flower petals, it'll dry no problem. Thick, not sure. Can you give us more info?
if its proper gumpaste - not mmf - then drying in the oven is the way to go. I have a fan asst oven and my pieces dry in a few hours.
HTH
it is the gumpaste recipe used on the back of the wilton can for gumpaste powder. the pieces (i cut last night) are MAYBE 1/4" thick. how do i do it in the oven? temp? duration? thanks guys-
the pieces are about 1"x2"x1/4" the gold things that stick up out a kings crown (the crown will be cake covered in red "velvet fondant, the gold things with jewels added, then the brim wrapped in fondant "fur"
I used my dehydrator to dry some pieces ~1" square and 1/8" thick made from Wilton gumpaste earlier this week. It took about 3 hours around 135-145 F. Don't know what difference having the fan on the dehydrator makes vs no air circulation in the oven but hopefully that helps!
Edited b/c I cannot spell

I put my oven on 100 deg C - dont know what that is in Far and turn them over every 30 min (flat pieces) until they are dry
