What did you want to make with it?? My best suggestion is to keep some plastic wrap near by and keep everything you are not actually working with wrapped. Gumpastre dries pretty fast. I also reccomend keeping som crisco near by to put on your work surface before rolling and on your hands. If your fondant or gumpaste starts to be difficult to work add a little crisco and knead it back.
Thank you cake-angel!
I just waned to get a feel of it and I LOVE IT.
I got angel food cake to practice. I want to make GP flowers/leaves,and cover the cake with fondant,I always was dying to use it and finally am.
I am so very excited and the fondant feels better on my hands than I expected.It's so silky.
Thank you for your advice I will use it.
Thank you tetraz!
I'll be honest I never bake ,I use ice cream cakes(at my job) Do you have any suggestions for a more dense cake.I know nothing about different kind of cakes.But I want to start learning.
off the subject
o you see my avatar picture under my name? because I can't see it and wonder if it's there.
Thanks again.
Yes I can see your avatar. The doggy looks so loveable!! I would expect an angel food cake to deflate under the weight of fondant. I have found that cake mix cakes have worked well and homemade butter cakes and pound cakes work well.
I too am new to fondant. I made MMF a couple of weeks ago and LOVED it. It went on the cake pretty easy. My question is, when you are cutting shapes, strips etc. for the sides of the cakes, does it stick well to BC? I'm icing the cake and will have accents around the sides. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Jen
Thank you cake angel!
I have nicer pictures of him but there are too many to go through.so I uploaded the first one.Back to cakes I am in moving process right now so within a couple of days I'll be done with the moving I hope so,I'll have a big kitchen and will be able to start baking cakes(last time I baked I think I was like 8 or9 years old)but I can't wait.
I will check the cc recipes,just want to get the moving over with.
Thank you gals again for your advice, been helpful.

Hi
I only use IMBC so i cant speak for the artifical variety but yes it sticks to butter cream. You need to make sure the buttercream is a wee bit soft. If mine gets too hard because its been in the fridge i give it a very light dust over with my blow torch to warm it up. Then just pop on your fondant and smooth it, if you use your hands to start with the warmth from them can be enough to help it stick.
