I have a recipe for making modeling paste and one of the ingredients is Liquid Glucose. The only thing I can find here in my local supermarket is Glucose Syrup. Is that the same thing? Somebody please comment. Also I am looking for some tutorials on how to make different 3D animals with modeling paste. Has anyone got some links?

In England liquid glucose is called glucose syrup. I use glucose syrup for making fondant and gumpaste.It's the same thing.

Liquid glucose is essentially corn syrup. There is a thicker version of glucose that is used in making fondant.

As for the modeling, if you have any books or can find any books on clay modeling in your craft store, these work great for instructions on making all kinds of things. The only difference is you don't have to bake them and you definitely wouldn't want to! icon_biggrin.gif

Is modeling paste the same as clay? I have never heard of it until I found this website.

Thank you

It is very similar to gumpaste or fondant blended with gumpaste, tylose, gum tex or gum trag.

I have made modelling paste using Queen brand Glucose Syrup obtained from Safeway or Coles.
