I'm gonna try my hand at MMF soon. Everything I read in Wilton says to add Gum-tex to their stuff as it's supposed to make it more pliable. anybody done that to the MMF recipe?

I think you only need gumtex to make it dry hard. Like if you are going to make roses or bows you should add it. If you are covering a cake you don't need it.

okay, dumb question...what if you are trying to do something kind of flat out of MMF? Like stars, with a cookie cutter-type thing?

thanks!

Kate714 - what about doing something flat? If your asking if you need to add gumtex to it.....no you dont. You could I guess if you wanted to, but all the gumtex is causes to to dry hard, as 2yummy said. DOes that answer your question?
