@fadrizals i have used both...they have same results...but the gumpaste made by using tylose powder is white in appearance rather than one made with gum...

The standard measure for fondant and tylose mix is 250g fondant to 1/2 teaspoon of tylose. Not all fondants will work mixed with tylose tho. Some of them will just go crumbly and fall apart...usually the softer fondants will do this. I always use Satin Ice or FondX to make my sugar figures. If you're making flowers it's best to mix your own gumpaste (I never use the tubs of gumpaste) and mix it 50/50 with fondant because the fondant/tylose mix can be brittle if it's rolled thinly.

hi can i ask how you store your characters once you've made them, mine seem to sweat and go soft if i leave them out in a room, even after they have previously hardened off.
many thanks

@fadrizals they have similar components but i am not sure if it will yield exactly the same results. some have used it to substiture-- i personally have not tried it

Wow - you used Satin Ice!? My family (especially Muetti) are big Wilton adherents and we usually use their fondant to make figures only. (I know, I know, it's untasty, but it's for modeling only, to clarify it for you.) If we are making a fondant cake, I'm considering your brand - ha ha!

i use wilton for figures too-- only bec it is super disounted at my local craft stores when i use their coupon :)
now, if i could - i make mm fondant most of the time. it really helps keep the cost down for me :)

Technically, they are edible, you 'can' . the question is IF you would want to eat it. fondant will dry just a bit but is still chewy later but gumpaste dries real hard... so i just tell people the figures are made of 'sugar' but i recommend them not to eat them bec they have dried already.
