Hello ...  I made the NL gumpaste.  I added lots of purple color to achieve the color I want.  It's now sticky, what do i need to add... cornstarch or powdered sugar?

I hate to be the barer of sad tiddings, but I doubt there is any bringing it back to it's ideal state.  It will help to add more tylose and/or corn starch, but it will still be sticky.  I've made the same mistake a couple of times, now I just go with a medium tone gum paste, which still maintains its integrity, and finish off the color with petal dusts, used mixed with alcohol and/or dry brushed on and steamed.
