Here is an awesome recipe that at one point was handed down to me and now, I won't use any other gum paste for my electronic cutter and when you try this you won't either. I want to say that many other professionals use this one as well but I would be lying if I said so. It's a matter of preference and this one is mine.
Gum paste for Electronic Cutters
• ½ cup of cold water
• 2 Tbsp of Unflavored Gelatin
• 2 Tbsp. melted Vegetable Shortening
• 1/3 White Corn Syrup
• 2 lbs. Powdered Sugar
• 2 ½ Tbsp CMC
Instructions:
Bloom gelatin with cold water (5 to 10 min. approx.) Melt gelatin in microwave (1 min. or so).
Add the white corn syrup wait 1 min. then add the melted vegetable shortening. Remove from the heat once it is all incorporated.
Add 2 lbs. or sugar to a mixer bowl with dough hook. Add the mixture to the bowl and mix. Once it is all incorporated add the CMC powder and it will quickly become stiff.
Remove gum paste from the bowl and knead until smooth, if sticky add powder sugar until no longer sticky. Once complete make into a ball and smooth some vegetable shortening around the gum paste ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Then place gum paste in the plastic bag.
Let the gum paste mature over night before use. It will not work if you use the gum paste the same day you make it. Trust me it won’t work!
Mixture can stay out for a few days or freeze for a few months.
Happy Cutting!!!
