This is the mix my grandmother used the most.

1 pound of gumpaste mix 1/4 cup water 1 1/3 cup icing sugar 1 tablespoon shortening (Does not go into gumpaste but is used to work with it)

Directions

1. Mix the gumpaste mix in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup water and stir with a fork.

2. Add 2/3 cup icing sugar and continue mixing with a fork.

3. In the same bowl add another 2/3 cup icing sugar and knead this in with your hands.

4. Place the gumpaste in an air-tight container or bag for 1 hour then it is ready to use.

Notes: This gumpaste will be even easier to use the next day.
