I'm trying to mold a frog from MMF and it will not set up. My frog keeps falling...what can I do?

Have you tried mixing it with gumpaste? Maybe it's too humid where you are.

Thanks for the response!
I've never used gumpaste, but I do have a can of gum-tex....is that the same thing?

It's not the same, but I usually add it to gumpaste to make the gumpaste more elastic to work with and less brittle upon drying. I believe you can use it in fondant too.

Just go to forums and do a search for Gum-tex. I'm sure you will find a lot of helpful information. I'm not as experienced as most on this site when it comes to fondant and gp so I don't want to give you any incorrect advice or tips, but I did know about the trick of mixing fondant and gp - 50/50.

If you need help with doing a search, let me know.
