I attempted to make my own gumpaste. (New to this) It is stretching and tearing after I roll it out and try and lift it off my mat. It is not sticking... more stretching too much and then tearing off (making roses). The storebought gumpaste is working so I am not sure what to do for mine? Add more powdered sugar? Any suggestions? Maybe I just need to start over with a new batch? It is 74 in our house, is it too hot? Help please!?

did you let it rest before trying to work with it. HM gum paste should rest for 24 hours to let the gums develop.

I let it rest. What else should I try to do?

Perhaps it needs more gums added to it. Its hard to say when i can't feel the paste myself. You say its stretchy, does it feel soft (compare to your store bought) if so then add some more powdered sugar. I don't think the temp of your house is effecting it. If you have a lot of humidity it would start getting sticky and melty

my problem was mine was too dry.im not sure if the egg was not enough because i used not too much big for a large egg. i tried to knead it but it was really hard so i just use crisco i was ok but still its not good enough to roll it.help
