Hello Natasha I just got your query about how i make my pastillage. im so sorry i was so busy then anyhow here are the ing. that you need
Pastillage Oscar's Recipe
4 cups powdered sugar 10x
7gms knox gelatine
4 Tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 Tablespoon white cane vinegar
starch for dusting.

Hi, Mandy, No we do not have any outlets in SA. We do ship there however. We were supposed to be attending the SA Sugar Guild's show in March to teach classes, but unfortunately the show was cancelled until a later date.
Hey Natasha! I forwarded the price sheet to you. Let me know if you didn't get it. Thanks!
You are talented also Natasha!! Thanl you for the compliment. I watch lots of cake challenge and amazing wedding cakes and pay close attention how they do things. Also the video from Jay Qualls on this site was a BIG help! I love Jay!!
