How to make a quick Gumpaste with Fondant and Tylose Powder

[TJFlady]

Can you add tylose to already coloured fondant?

[riveracarlosa]

If you are looking for Tylose, you can find it on Ebay.  Look for The Bakers Stop Cake Supplies.

random question lol but where did you get your blue mat?

[PrinceCharming1996]

thx alot! gonna buy gum-tex tomorrow and i'll start with m sugar flowers =D

[YayiLiu]

you mentioned that tylose is pretty much the same as gum tex.... does that mean that in a gum paste recipe asking for tylose I can switch it for gum tex using the SAME measurements or does I have to use more or less?

Hi Donna,

Can I ask where you got the work mat you are using?

Ive tried to make the past by adding powder to regal ice fondant, it is rubbery and wont go hard when I try to make flowers it is just like playdoe. How do you make it right? I love you tutorials

[donnalane626]

I have never have very good luck trying to use a regular fondant such as Regal Ice to do flowers...I only use a gumpaste , OR the Wilton Fondant with Tylose Powder to it and it works GREAT!

Thanks for your sweet comment Happyicer!!! I can't wait to see your flowers!

I used tylose powder in MMF and it worked great, I used 6 teaspoons to a batch of it, and I bought my tylose powder off of ebay it is called Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose CMC I paid $10 for 2 lbs. so it is really cheap to buy it from their.

[donnalane626]

That is great that is worked for you, and thanks for sharing how much CMC powder which is the same as Tylose powder that you used in the MM fondant

[fifitis03]

is tylose same as gum-tex?

[donnalane626]

Yes they are pretty much very alike and achieve the same results from my experience!!

[supahstar25]

can i do this with MMF?

is gumpaste ok to eat? cuz i hear u can make certain things with it in the kitchen, and what does it taste like?

[donnalane626]

Gumpaste is edible, however it has a plain taste and most don't eat it because it can dry pretty hard.

[5324er]

yeah i found out the hard way. i made crappy candy cigarettes that were chewy and had no real taste.

I'm not sure exactly what Tylose is - could I substitute it with 10X?? Or another type of powder?? Thank you very much for your videos!!! So helpful!!

[donnalane626]

tylose powder is a gum ingrdient that helps to add strength to fondant and also helps to stop moisture issues...it is avail at cake supply stores online.

[DiaShakeIt]

[donnalane626]

Yes you can....

[yencna]

[donnalane626]

Many have used the tylose powder with the MM fondant to achieve the same results

[Staycoolplz]
