Hello,
I have made gumpaste using the wilton Gum trac... I could not find glucose so I used light corn syrup instead. My gumpaste then takes more sugar than indicated in the recipe on the box and worse than that, it is cracking. I did use some cornflour mixed with sugar to roll it as well as it was much too soft.
Anybody can advise on what to do? I have a large amount left to mix with sugar still.
I hope that you are all having a nice sunday!
Thank you!

Thank you for your reply. Actually, I made it since early this morning and have let it rest for more than 9 hours before starting to use it. I used some cornstarch as I did not have any sugar left. Tomorrow, I will buy some more.
I think the problem is causes by the substitution of glucose for corn syrup. I just don't know how to fix it.
Thanks

Hmmm, I think you will need to get your hands on some glucose, I am not quite sure if the cornsyrup will do the trick. Also, stick to the cornstarch when rolling out your gumpaste. Icing sugar will make it sticky.
