: : : Does anyone out there have any hints on making sugar paste.

: :I tried posting a response, but messed it all up. Sorry, Gerard, if you got the response by mistake. Let me try again. What kind of "hints" do you need? Finding recipes for gum paste or sugar paste? At first I thought you wanted help with gum paste, as in for making flowers and bows, and responded that you should check out www.spunsugar.com and ask Linda your questions. For gum paste I really like the recipe for Tylose-based paste. The recipe is simple (Tylose, powdered sugar, egg white and shortening) and the paste it makes, if stored well, lasts a very long time. I found some paste in my fridge which I had made a year ago, and it is still fine.
: But when you say sugar paste do you mean rolled fondant, as for covering a cake? If so, what recipe are you using now and what problems are you having with it? Again, you might try asking Linda at Spun Sugar. Best of Luck.

Hi, I really need a recipie for the gum paste... What is tylose though??? I need to make a wedding cake for my wedding, and since I don't have a big budget it looks like i am doing everything myself. Thank you, I would appreciate any comments.! :)
