Gumpaste

In a previous post, I mentioned looking into working with gumpaste soon as I was having a hard time with my fondant for vertical pieces.  Well, the time has come!  At first, I thought about making an entire batch of gumpaste.  But then, I learned that sprinkling a bit of tylose powder into my marshmallow fondant turns it into a quick gumpaste (from YouTube).  On top of that, a bit of tylose powder mixed with boiling water turns it into a nice tylo glue overnight (from Cake Journal).  This stuff is amazing!

Below are some figurines I made for a cake this week with my new found discovery.  Can you recognize them?  (Hint: Gotta Catch 'Em All!)
