I bought some of the pre made gumpaste (wilton brand) and it is sticky what can I do to make it useable - if anything?

First put a little crisco on your hands and knead it. Sometimes my gumpaste is tacky until I knead it. If it's really bad, you can add a little powdered sugar. Just a little. What's your weather like, if it's really hot and humid that could be affecting the paste.

With that said, you don't want to add too much powdered sugar or you'll lose your elasticity, if you have a little tylose powder or CMC you can add that to help.

Sorry it's so hard to help without being there to actually see it.

I like the Wilton gumpaste, but it does require a bit of shortening for it to handle perfectly. As sweetflowers said, pull off a piece of gp, then take a little shortening on your finger and knead it until it feels right.

I also like the Wilton gumpaste..it is my fav thing from Wilton. Like the other's said...add a little crisco to the fingers and knead it in...it's great to work with once you do that!...straight out of the bag is impossible...

I did the roses on myjust posted future DIL's cake using the Wilton Gumpaste

Knead it,knead it & knead it again !!! Add shortening,knead it again...it needs to be soft & stretchy before you use it

Thanks, I did add crisco to my hands, and it seems the more I knead it the warmer it gets and the sicker it gets..... I'll try PS

Thanks
