help,the correct ps in the fondant recipe

I have a problem with the "cup".In my country,there isnt measure in"cup" but 'g' or'kg'.i cant made perfect fondant because i dont know how many gram is 1 cup.I have google it but its in a jumble.someone said 1cup is diffrent with liquid and powder.

for example,the recipe ask for 8cup PS,my cup was about 220g,so i put all the 8*220g PS in the bowl.but its too many!today someone told me that if you measure PS,1cup is about 100g,so i tried it ,but its too few.

I'm confused ,which is correct ,and how many grams

the 1/2cup glucose is？

Here is the fondant i made ,its granular、powdery and cant be stretched too long.

Forgive me my poor english! TX!!!

Thanks Katy

I actually consulted a link on the web when posting the conversions here. In Canada we still teeter-totter between metric measurements & American/Canadian standard. Confusing sometimes. If they want our country "metric", wish they would just change over 100% and be done with it. Guessing it is because of our proximity to the USA that we still do both. That is a brilliant suggestion tho, buying the spoons & cups. Does save the hassel of figuring things out.

Lyra: I have a really easy gumpaste recipe using cornstarch/cornflour. It is posted here on CWB. If you go on my page, look on the left hand side under my picture, click on "Blogs". The recipe Quick Cornstarch Gumpaste is their. :o)
