Hi Ya'll,
Well I have finally found Nicholas Lodge's gumpaste reciept, but I don't know what Tylose is. I checked wilton.com and nothing. Does anyone know if it is avaliable in stores or only on-line? The only stores avaliable to me are Michaels and Joanns--(so sad) I really want to teach myself to do wonderful flowers.
Thanks to Ya'll
Charli

Wilton doesn't make Tylose. The closest thing Wilton has to it is Gum-Tex. Gum Tragicanth can also be used to make gumpaste, but again it isn't a Wilton product. So if you are going to have to order someting I'd stick to the Tylose.

You can buy it from: http://sugarcraft.com/

Hi: I think Nicholas Lodge's website also has this. They have an online store on their website. Try that also. Vicki002.

I have read that Tylose is syntheticGum Tragacanth. Real Gum Trag is a plant product.

Thanks Ya'll for your help!

I thought I read here that wilton gumpatse was terrible to work with. As a begininer will it be ok to use? And if I am good enough will it still make life-like flours?

if you can make your own it will be better...... other wise I am sure the mix or pre made will be fine for some practice..... give it a go .. its fun.

I just wanted to say, Wilton has come out with a premade gumpaste. When they rest the Wilton section at Michaels they will start carrying it.

I don't know how it compairs to other gumpastes yet, but it might be worth trying out.
