What Can I Use Besides Gumtex??
Decorating By jessieb578 Updated 31 Jan 2007 , 7:43pm by stephanie214
I need to make a bow and have the fondant, but don't have any gumtex and have to drive over 45 minutes to get it. I work full time so that's not an option right now.
I need a bow for Friday...I've heard that people mix gumpaste with their fondant or even 
fixodent????
Any ideas??
I have used gumpaste/MMF 50/50 and reciently tried fixodent
Really??? Which one worked better??? The fixodent or gumpaste?? I'm sure they're not eating it, so the fixodent might be the way to go...plus a little cheaper 
I use the Fixodent Super(dries faster) in MMF and it works great...just make sure it is in the powder form. You can use regular also 
.
I've never tasted it . I just use it to make decorating items 
Stephanie I have heard of people using Fixodent. What ratio did you use, fixodent to fondant? I seem to always have Tylose powder but you just never know when you will run out and I can't buy it locally. Fixodent is everywhere. On the how does it taste question. I once dampened my finger, put a bit ot Tylose powder on it and tasted it. OH YUCK! It immediately turned to gooey gel in my mouth, I had to run and brush my teeth to get it out of my mouth.
Shirley,
I can't give a ratio because I do not add the Fixodent all at once...dries to quickly.
I take the amount of MMF that I would need at that time and add some Fixodent.
Example; if I want to do five daises, then I take that amount of MMF and add some Fixodent. You will have to play around with the amount .
