LOL! You should a lot like me, Gali! If it tastes like chocolate fudge, I would have a hard time getting it on the cake instead of in my mouth!  I am definitely going to use the tylose.  Thanks.

Oh, I didn't mean the gum paste wasn't soft because it is, but when I make flowers, they look brittle instead of soft and, of course, the dried gum paste is very brittle....or mine is, anyway.

Great tip about buying on ebay.  I will check it out.

I always make my gum paste, have never used ready made, and it works great but is really, really brittle. And, as I said, I have never been able to get the "soft" look, like your roses.

Gorgeous, Gali!  Do you prefer fondant with tylose to gum paste?
