Gumpaste Alternative For Humid Conditions?
Decorating By handymama Updated 22 Mar 2008 , 3:14am by beachcakes
Last summer I experienced my first gumpaste bow fatality. The cake had been delivered the evening before the event. Humidity was 100%, temperatures in the 90's, and by morning the bow had collapsed. This is bad enough with a bow, but would be awful with flowers that had taken days to make. Is there a recipe or an alternative to gumpaste that is humidity-proof?
I live near the beach, so the air is always humid even when the temps aren't high. GP does not do well in high humidity. I have had much better luck with commercial fondant mixed with tylose powder!
Sorry I kind of eyeball it... I'd say about a teaspoon for a baseball size chunk of fondant.
