This is such an interesting idea, thank you for sharing!

great idea 

Hi there. Can u use Tylose powder instead of gumpaste powder to mix into Royal Icing to make it plyable? Thanks!

Thank you for sharing!

Did you have to cover somehow  piped out monograms to keep them soft and rubbery?

Thanks!!!

Melissa9-I think Tylose would help harden, since in the past I add it to fondant to help harden it more.

Are you sure the amounts aren't reversed? I used Wilton Gum-tex and there was no way it would whip. I must have added 6 cups of water to it to get to piping consistency?

This sounds cool. I will be trying this. Thanks for sharing

I look forward to trying it.  I used the cake lace for piping a photo and found it very easy to pipe.

@cheatize ‍ I don't believe that Gum-Tex and gumpaste powder are the same thing.  Gum-Tex is what you add to fondant to make it turn into gumpaste.  Gumpaste powder is basically powdered gumpaste.  That might be your problem...  Someone else may be able to chime in to help for sure... 

I'm going to try this to see how it comes out! Do you really have to grease the parchment paper? I thought nothing would stick to it.

Thanks for your post!

How long does it last?  I mean, if I don't have to use it all on one cake?  Thanks for posting!!
