Hello, I'm having problems making the 'loop' bows. They seem to end up too brittle and break too easily. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong... I take sugarpaste (usually the pre-coloured Renshaw because of the need for colour consistency) and add 1 tsp tylose powder per 250g. The paste definitely gets stronger and the loops dry and are reasonably ok, but still too fragile for my liking. I'm not sure if I'm adding too much or too little or... well... I don't know! But I really want to understand and get to the bottom of this once and for all. Any help greatly appreciated!!

OK, so fondant is the same as sugarpaste (I'm led to believe!) I've tried using just that (with no added gum) but it doesn't set up at all... as in, it stays soft.
