Help!! Alternative To Gumpaste??
Decorating By kkswmmr114 Updated 15 Aug 2011 , 1:17pm by JamAndButtercream
I need gumpaste within 24 hours to start work on a face mask for a football helmet cake. I don't live anywhere near a cake supply store... that's not an option. I could use a recipe like the Easy Gumpaste recipe on here but I would have to modify it because I don't have access to Glucose. So I am worried about it turning out correctly.
I was wondering if I could make a thick enough royal icing to form it into a face mask (it needs to be pretty thick ropes so piping wouldn't work). I know I could make it thick just by adding more powdered sugar, but would it dry hard enough??
So I guess I have two options:
Make Easy Gumpaste Recipe and hope it turns out without Glucose or make a super thick royal icing and hope it sets up hard enough...
What do yall think???
