Fixodent powder???- Now this is new to me. =) Will it make the MMF harden? That is my current delema because I don't like gumpaste. Hmmm....

Its supposed to -im just trying to find out how much to add to a regular batch of mmf. Along time ago some ladies posted about using this to harden the mmf like gumpaste

Does that work with regular fondant? Does it change the taste?

Well, if not one packet...then whatever is a single use of the powder.

I'm sure it changes the taste....probably minty! (Do people really eat much gumpaste anyway? icon_razz.gif )

I'm pretty sure SquirrellyCakes posted it last year. I wrote it down as a good tip.
