Homemade Gumpaste Or Store Bought?
Decorating By ltj2010 Updated 2 Feb 2010 , 4:24pm by cakeandpartygirl
I make my own, but I use Nicholas Lodge's recipe with tylose. I tried the wilton recipe a few times and it didn't work well.
I make my own but it's because it's more cost effective but I have found out that fondant with tylose powder is easier but it depends on your application.
Where can I get Nick Lodge's receipe for gum paste?
I love tylose gumpaste over store bought any day of the week.

Do you mean the receipe on the can of tylose? I would really like to make my own as store bought is so expensive. Thanks.
My customers highly prefer the taste of my homemade Marshmallow Fondant over any other. However, I do use Satin Ice when I need dk. chocolate, or a lot of black or deep red. It's quite tasty too, but more expensive.
nicholaslodge.com... recipe for gumpaste... using tylose.. makes up beautifully .. and dries really good.. when i teach g/p at michaels.. i use the wilton pre-made g/p.... because IT IS A WILTON PRODUCT.. and i ask the students to buy it... because it is a wilton class. they work really well with it.. i do tell them about other products.. i give them home made recipes, etc.. so they can go on with their decorating.. after wilton..

That is the same recipe Nicks uses. The recipe is in my website too.
Is a really good easy to make kind of gumpaste.

I started out in my sugarpaste classes over a year ago using Nick's recipe for gumpaste and found my batches weren't consistent, could have very well been my own fault, but I searched for a different recipe and found Scott Clark Woolley's recipe for gumpaste. OMG, it is fabulous! It is the same consistency as the good quality British sugarpaste/gumpaste that my instructor uses.
In my experience Nick's gumpaste recipe makes the flowers more prone to snapping once dried. The best thing about his is that it lasts a very very long time in the fridge and have had no issues with it going bad.
With Scott's recipe, it is a much better firmer consistency with the use of the gelatine in it and I can roll it out much thinner. The only negative is that it does not last if kept outside the fridge for a long period, let's say 3 weeks. BUT, I do keep it in my kit ready for class every week and it is fine. I keep it wrapped in plastic wrap, in a ziploc bag and then put in a sealed container. I use tylose and rosewater instead of plain water.
Here is the recipe:

I just made the Wilton recipe this week and was not really happy with it. I will have to try some of these other recipes. Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you
I have found that when I make the wilton's recipe you add all of the powdered sugar at once instead of adding more the next day. I found that by accident the first time making it I didn't follow the directions and then tried it by the directions the second time and it was a flop and have been making it like that (adding all of the ps at once) ever since...well at least until I tried fondant with tylose
