Fondant mass for flowers (gum paste)
The gum paste can be rolled out very thin so it allows you to make flowers with an almost natural look. It should be stored in a plastic bag and then in a plastic box hermetically sealed. Its shelf life is 2 weeks at room temperature.
Preparation steps
- In a large bowl, mix the tilose and 3 salts of powdered sugar. Make a recess in the middle and set aside. Mix water and glucose, heat in the microwave for 30 seconds (or steam) until translucent. Pour in the mixture of sugar and tilose and mix until combined (the mixture will be very soft). Put in a plastic bag and tie well, leave at room temperature for 8 hours or overnight. Mix the remaining powdered sugar salt into the gum paste when ready to use. The gum paste will be very hard, so tear off the small pieces and mix them until soft. As the sugar blends with the mixture it will become whiter and softer.
