Hey all... I have a cupcake order for tomorrow and trying to make gumpaste out of fondant. No prob, just add tylose right? Well its oily and there are little hard pieces of fondant that I cant seem to work out. Ive added a ton of confectionary sugar and have been kneading for 20 mins. Help! Thanks in advance 
Sometimes microwaving old fondant for 5 second bursts works and you don't tend to need much tylose as it sets rock hard when cool, you need to trim off the hard oily looking outside 'stale' bit first though- if the stale outside has crumbled up and been kneeded into the fondant leaving little 'hard bits' its only fit for the trash 
Hope you don't have to start again but sounds like you might sorry
