This a recipe I´been using for a while. You need:
300 grs of confectioner sugar (powder sugar)
1 tbls of tylose
1 tbls of corn syrup
4 tbls of warm water
You mix confectioner sugar with tylose. In another bowl you mix the corn syrup with 2 tlbs of warm water. Then you add this mix to the sugar mix. If better to add the remaining two water tbls one at a time, the reason is that it depends on the weather (humidity) how many water you are going to need (it could be the 4 tbls, 3 or even a little more). You mix everything until you have a mass that looks like play dough. Finally you put the gum paste in a plastic bag and seal it so no air gets in there. You can then cover the plastic bag with a cloth or put it a bottle or a plastic box. I have noticed that if you leave it in the kitchen and use the oven or it´s really hot the texture of the gum paste gets weird, so it´s better to put it in a cooler place. Leave it for 8 to 12 hours before you use it for modelling. When it is ready to use, you will find it´s hard as a rock, so it´s better to cut the amount you are going to need with a knife and then work with it. Put some confectioner sugar (powder sugar) on the table to work it out. Hope this helps.

That's what I used for my snowflake cake, Nicholas Lodge recipe. I don't know why I was ever afraid to try it. I put it off for years. He is a good instructor and I wish I had seen him earlier.
