I have wondered this myself. My kids are always wanting to eat the fondant scraps, even with the gumtex. As best I can tell, from what I've read it's all edible, just not all of it is tasty. I could be wrong.
From what I've read Karaya Gum (that's what Gum-Tex is)is in no way toxic. Lots of studies have been done to check for problems and none were found. It is an FDA approved food additive.
I hope that makes you feel more comfortable in allowing your children to eat the fondant scraps.
i don't think it really makes a difference in taste if you add a litle. You don't need to add a lot to make it work.
but the smell of gum-tex from the jar...omg it makes me chock. every time i open it i am not so sure i want to use it.
i have read previously that some people use instead of the gumtex Fixodent Denture Adhesive Powder. it is supposed to work the same as gumtex and leave fondant a minty smell. Have't tried that myself.
