I have only ever used Wilton's ready made gumpaste. I am about to do an order of supplies, so I thought I would get other people's opinion on which gumpaste they think is the best. Do you make your own, do you use it in powder form, or do you have a different favorite brand? Is there a great place to buy gumpaste and fondant?

I actually like the Wilton ready-made gum paste--it is just a pain in the butt to get it out of that silly pouch! I also like--and prefer Satin Ice Gum Paste. It is great to work with--oh and it tastes good too! I'm too lazy to make my own.

I really like satin ice brand and I love Nicholas Lodge's recipe for making my own.

Where do you buy Satin Ice gumpaste? I would be interested in trying both that and the Satin Ice fondant.

I recently tried Satin Ice gumpaste to make baby booties and I loved it! I would definitley recommend this although, I haven't tried others yet so I have nothing to compare it to.

You can buy it here from cake central. I actually found mine at Sur La Table (a store at my local mall, it is a chain store).

I also started make the nick lodge gumpaste. It was easy!

some local cake shops carry it and tons of on line shops do too.

You can order Nick's gumpaste from CK Products. It comes in a pouch just like the Wilton Gumpaste - but it already has Tylose in it.

If CK Products isn't a vendor you order from - you might ask your current vendor if they can get it for you.

Hi,
I purchased Satin Ice gumpaste along with the fondant. It's wonderful to use and I purchased it on-line from IntoTheOven.com. Once again, it tastes good too. Pretty good prices and very fast delivery.

You do have to have a business to order from CK Products.

Sorry I didn't mention that.

I find that making your own is better. Good recipes out there. The one you make I think drys quicker.

Thank you all for your replies, very helpful. I guess the best way of finding out what works well for me is to try a few out, so I will branch out and buy SatinIce this time.

yes, it is a bright white color already!

I get my Satin Ice from Pfeil and Holing

I had the hardest time with Satin Ice for making flowers.. it was just TOO gummy and fell over too easy. My favorite so far is Wilton, but I'm wanting to explore with others..

try adding tylose to your gum paste and it dries harder and quicker.

I make my own using Nick Lodge receipe it is easy to do and saves lots of $. It keeps well also.
