Anyone prefer one over the other?
I have been using the Wilton tub of gumpaste mix (just add water and PS) for the last 2 sets of figures I've done and I dont like how grainy the gumpaste is. I'm so used to working with clay for figure sculpting that I'm not sure whether it's just me not being used to the texture, if I'm mixing my gumpaste wrong, or if the product just stinks in general. I do have a can of powdered Gum Tex and ingredients to make it that way too, but I'm assuming I'd recieve the same results.
Today I had a 40% off coupon and purchased some icky Wilton premade fondant to try instead, hoping the texture wont be as grainy. They wont be eaten, it's just a cake topper.
Anyone have any sage words of advice for me?
I make Michelle Foster's fondant. When I need gumpaste, I just sprinkle Wilton Gum-Tex into the fondant and it works just fine.
It seems I remember the ratio being 1 Tblsp. to 1 Lb. of fondant, but don't quote me on that... I just sprinkle it on, and work it in...lol
I think it pretty much works the same as tylose?
Good luck,
Pat
