Hi Peg. here is the recipe I use:
3 cups powdered sugar
2 egg whites
6 tablspoons tylose powder
Whip the egg whites to break them up. add one cup of sugar at a time to make a soft royal icing (make sure to leave about 1 cup for kneading it in). Add your tylose powder a little at a time, you will see when the gumpaste starts to clump. Stop your mixer at this point. Grease your hands and spatula well, as well as the surface where you will be kneading in the remaining powdered sugar. Pull out your dough from the mixer and make sure to soak in water immediately(if you ket it harden you'll have to chisel it off) The dough should not be sticky.
Wrap it well and let it sit in your refridgerator for 24 hours.
Hope this helps
To work with it. pull off a small amount. with lightly greased hands knead it until it comes back to soft strechable and workable consistency.

Thanks so much. Then do I roll it out like fondant?
A quickie way to make gumpaste is to simply add a little gum-tex to some fondant. Instant gumpaste. Use it just like fondant. It just dries ALOT faster than fondant and is brittle.
