Making Figures Out Of Fondant, Gumpaste, Or A Mix?
Decorating By rolosgirl Updated 11 Jun 2009 , 6:40pm by MavericksMommy
I would use a 50/50 fondant gumpaste mix. Gumpaste dries quickly, fondant dries slowly so a 50/50 mix is just right! I sound like the narrator to Goldilocks! But really it will give you enough time. Another thing you can use (my favorite) is tyrose powder. You buy it online and mix it in your fondant. It's a thickening agent but it hardens the fondant. Good Luck!
I have made a few figures, you can check my pictures.. I like to use fondant/gumpaste mix.. about 50/50,
to me, it gives me a little more work time, the plain gumpaste drys to fast and cracks...
this is just me, use whatever works best for you...
Hope this helps
I also use a 50/50 mix for figurines, it just works soooo much better
I was wondering this too, thanks for posting, now I know the answer too!
