Hello- Ran out of Tylose night before decorating a large retirement cake. I have Xanathan, Guargum, gumpaste powder, most everything but Tylose & I need to speed up setting fondant decorations.  Will any of these be a suitable substitute for Tylose?THANKS....MotherSquid

Gumpaste powder will help. Or buy some Fixodent denture powder. It is food safe and contains  the same ingredient as tylose .  I got this info from sewsweet2  years ago and it works.  She recommended 1 teaspoon to about a baseball sized ball of fondant.  I have used more than that to make things harden up faster.  I believe the info came from an ICES convention or a cake decorating meet.  It does work but you must use the regular Fixodent powder.

FIXODENT! Wow!....Did NOT see that coming..... Thanks so much, I'm off to the Fixodent store.....

Haha,   Walmart and drug stores carry it and it is far cheaper than tylose.  Rather funny that it is for a retirement party and the old brawd suggesting it is 60.

Squirrelly, you are hilarious!  I totally missed that! And I am 59, will be 60 on 1/1/2016......

Well you know kiddo, turning 60 is better than the alternative...not turning 60.  You are still a young chic!
