This is for those of you who do a lot of display cakes. I have heard of using plaster of paris do decorate display cakes, my question is does anyone know the ingrediants for this. I think they said you add dish soap to it. I have tried tonight without much luck. I am trying to do a store display that won't attrack bugs or children. TIA

You can buy plaster of paris in a tub at Michael's or Hobby Lobby. I think you just have to add water to it, best I remember.

I have the plaster, it is the dish soap that I really need to know about. I think it lets be stiff enough to make roses without trying to fast. I could be wrong on the plaster of paris and it be wall plaster for sheet rock seams.

Oh sorry, I don't know anything about the dish soap. I've never even heard anything about that, but it sounds interesting.

Well thanks anyway I will wait and see if anyone knows. What I tried tonight was thin and when it got thick enough to make roses with it would cease up. So I had no time to work with it.

Thats what I normally would use also, the stores doesn't want any food product.

checking around here....the usual reccomendation is to use dry-wall spackle..that's the stuff you get at the local big-box home improvement store and is used to seal the seams on dry-wall (redundant, I know!)
