I’m going to attempt to make a princess crown for my daughters cake. From what I’ve seen you just add 1-2 teaspoons of tylose powder to a pound of fondant? What is the cornstarch used for? Is it just to dust a little so it doesn’t stick when rolling out?

The spoon I use is a 1/3 teaspoon. I added a couple of those so 2/3 teaspoons. To about a handful of gumpaste. I personally prefer to work with gumpaste for toppers as I find it’s more sturdy. However you definitely can use fondant!(I would add more powder to fondant though) Try not to add too much tylose powder as it can make the gumpaste/fondant very difficult to work with. I would also recommend to work as quickly as possible. After rolling out the fondant try to quickly cut it out and stand it up. The faster you work the less likely it is to crack! For the cornstarch, I just use it so it doesn’t stick to the rolling pin or the counter top. Hope that helps!! Don’t forget to tag me in your creations on Instagram to be featured on my page! ☺️

Gorgeous, I want to make a crown for my sons cake .😁 can I ask do you use water to stick the gumpaste or edible glue? Where did you purchase your mould for beading too please? Thankyou so much for sharing 😁😁😁

Thank you! I do use water to stick gum paste/fondant i find it works best! edible glue can also be used however it sometimes peaks out and doesn't give it a clean look. When you're finished your topper preferably the next day or day after give it a quick steam with water that way it will look very clean and shiny!! The pearl mold i use is wilton brand which can be purchased at a bunch of places. I bought mine from Michael's however, I have seen them at bulk barn and baking supply stores! All the best with your topper and hope it turns out well :) don't forget to tag me in your final creations to be featured on my insta!!
