Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

Hello Ladies,

 

I was wondering; when you make your gumpaste flowers, which brand of gumpaste do you use and why?  I ask this because I mostly use Wilton, just becasue I can get it fairly cheap. But, I noticed when I was at the local cake shop Nicholas Lodge has a gumpaste line and now Satin Ice also has a gumpaste line.  Also if I am not mistaken Duff is also coming out with a fondant/gumpaste line as well.  All of these are pricey compared to what I pay for the Wilton gumpaste. Granite I am not a gumpaste flower expert, can't see buying this stuff and praticing with it? Has anybody tried any of these others? What do you think of the quality of the gumpaste? Would it be worth the exspense to try any of these other products?

This is good to know, because I was just about to spend a pretty penny on this stuff and now I wont. Thanks!!!

What does the tylose powder do to the wilton gumpaste? I know gumtex helps it dry faster.

I like wilton with tylose added...and it is cheaper. Satin ice cracks, Nicks doesn't dry...we used it in our TLC cake off for that reason alone.
If you make it yourself it is much less expensive.
I use 1 tablespoon of tylose powder to 1 pnd of fondant. works like a charm every time:)
