@@NicholasLodgeschool my gumpaste came out as a Rubber ball. Were did I go wrong? To much Tylo? I followd the recipe exactly. So sad that mine got ruined. Tnx in advance for answering 🤗

[@NicholasLodgeschool]

@@jennyfrostelid76 Sorry you had a problem Jenny. This is the recipe I have been using for over 25 years. The recipe is formulated for use with Tylose C Composition 1000, as outlined in the video. Perhaps the Tylose you were using was not this type. If so, next time cut back on the amount of Tylose when making the gumpaste. You can always add more later if the gumpaste is too soft. If the gumpaste you have can be kneaded, try kneading in some additional egg white and shortening. This will help. So far I have never encountered a batch of Tylose gumpaste that could not be salvaged this way. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching and Happy Flower Making!

I have just read that he passed away on August 9, 2022 and I am devastated. I first met him in 2004 and have enjoyed sugar flower making ever since. Sugar flowers are very meditative to make for me and part of the reason why I have found my meditation in flower making is due to Chef Nicholas Lodge.. Rest in Peace, Chef

There is not one perfect gumpaste recipe that will do everything for everyone. This is the method and gumpaste that Chef Nicholas used for over 25 years in his classes around the globe. If you find the paste is drying too fast for your working style you may try less Tylose or perhaps just a little more additional white vegetable fat/shortening/Crisco as you do when conditioning each piece of gumpaste prior to rolling it out and cutting out flower petals and leaves...Watch some of the other Chef Nicholas Lodge KZbin videos on making gumpaste flowers and you will understand what is being referenced here, as you work/condition each piece of gumpaste...Thank you for watching and Happy Flower Making to you!

Thank you for demonstrating this and providing information that answered my questions along the way.

I’m wondering if adding the color made the paste more sticky or wet so there might be a need for more sugar??? Thank you...

[@NicholasLodgeschool]

Thank you for watching! When a recipe has this much sugar, the recipe will never be exact, cut to the weather conditions where you are, brand of sugar and other outside influences. When making a batch of colored gumpaste, add enough powdered sugar to reach the consistency you desire. Remember, the gumpaste will become more firm after it rests for for awhile.

If stored properly Tylose based gumpaste flowers will last for years. Once made store in a container, it does not need to be air-tight, wrapped softly in tissue paper and place the box in a dark place as free from humidity as possible. Humidity, dampness and dust are gumpaste flowers worst friends. Do not store in a damp basement or in a cabinet in the humid kitchen. If the gumpaste flowers have been colored, it will be important to keep them away from light sorces to prevent the colors from fading...Hope this information is helpful...Happy flower making!

Hello. It is not a wise decision to cover a cake of a cake dummy with gumpaste. Gumpaste is too brittle and has no flavor. Cakes should be covered with rolled fondant or sometimes called sugar paste.

Make a fuyll batch and place any additional gumpaste into two zip-top bags and place into the freezer for long term storage. Allow the gumpaste to fully thaw at room temperature while still in the two zip-top bags. If you open the bags while the gumpaste is still frozen, condensation will form on the gumpaste making it excessively sticky...Thank for watching!

Take 85g of your prepare gumpaste and add 15g of white sugar paste and knead together and leave for several hours or overnight.

The Nicholas Lodge Gumpaste Recipe was formulated for "Tylose C Composition 1000." If it does not state this on the Tylose container label, it is probably a stronger version.

The video you were watching was for making gumpaste also know as petal paste. This is used for creating edible flowers and decorations for cakes, cookies, cupcakes, etc. This paste dries very hard and brittle and is nt intended to be used as a covering for a cake. When covering cakes you use rolled fondant or sugar paste. Rolled fondant does not dry hard and has a more pleasant taste when eating. There are many videos on KZbin for making and using rolled fondant. The brand I use and suggest is Renshaw and is available from Deco Pack. www.decopack.com I hope this information is helpful to you.

[@NicholasLodgeschool]

Gumpaste is used to create flowers and rolled fondant is used to cover cakes and-or create decorations that can be applied directly to the top or sides of the cake. Rolled fondant cannot be rolled out thin enough to create "realistic" flowers. Also, rolled fondant will not dry firm enough to make decoration that need to stand up like letters or flowers.

Is this none meltting gumpaste flower recipe

[@NicholasLodgeschool]

I don't fully understand your question. But is you are asking is this is a non-melting gumpaste, then the answer is no. This gumpaste is sugar based and will adsorb moisture and humidity and any items made from gumpaste should be kept in as humid free environment as possible. Hope this help! Thanks for watching!

@@NicholasLodgeschool can u tell recipe for non melting gum paste pls

[@NicholasLodgeschool]

@@fiyaa9357 I'm not certain what you mean by non-melting? No-melting due to heat, humidity, long term storage? This gumpaste recipe hold up very well to normal weather heat and weather related humidity. There is not a gumpaste that I know of that can be placed into a moist, humid refrigerator/freezer and hold the flower shapes. You would need a special humidity-free refrigerator for that...I hope this helps to answer your question....Thank you for watching and Happy Flower Making to you!
