Ive always used gumpaste for making my figures. I see people using cold porcelain. How do you work with this? It seems like the figures come out better. Is it easier to work with? Do you use a mold instead of making the items by hand?

Cold porcelain is made of white glue and cornstarch. I can be both molded or hand molded depending on how good you are on flower making.It is not edible,not toxic and almost unbreakable. It's disadvantage? It SHRINKS, and I don't know how to solve this problem.

Thanks! I will check them out! I was just wondering because I really like the work that Eva does from ecakes. I just wondered if she used a mold or it was just easier to work with. My Spanish isnt so good and she doesnt speak much English for me to ask her more than that she uses cold porcelain.
