i've been saving my unused colored gumpaste to mix together to make black like i've read many times, but when i went to finally do it, it was rock hard.
i kept it in the wilton bag it came in but the zipper thing was broke, so i put it all in a ziploc baggie and it was still hard. any suggestions on what i should do next time?
thanks all.
Wrap it in plastic wrap or press and seal, then store in a ziplock.
I do what Texas_Rose does - wrap tighttighttight before putting into a ziploc. Even when I have tiny, marble-sized pieces.
If it still hardens up after being tightly wrapped, try nuking it in the micro before using. It may surprise you and actually soften back up - saw this tip on Flickr and I'm pretty sure it was for gp, not just fondant.
Oh yes, try microwaving it like ceshell suggested. Keep kneading it until pliable.
There is a tutorial on that on the tutorial thread. Go to the website links on the bottom and check out "sugarteachers" or something like that. Check the tutorials and its there.
