Can anyone tell me how much sugarcel cmc to add to sugarpaste to make modelling paste??

[geraldinetheluckygoat]

I'm making a bob the builder cake...so far I have made Rolly and some hedgehogs, a saw and a screwdriver all using sugarpaste! But it's not going to hold its shape well enough for making Bob, I really want to make him with Modeling paste, and have got some of this sugarcel powder, but there are NO instructions on the container! Does anyone know how much to use, or have a good recipe for modelling paste?

No luck with google, bumping for you

Oh dear. Boys directed me over here, in case I could help. (Done lots of cakes in my time!) but I can't. Try putting a call out for StealthSquiggle, she might have some ideas for you.

oh thanks for answering anyway though
BALD, I made the bob the builder without the orange squares on the shirt like in the pic you found on Google, DS didnt notice so THINK im in the clear....he did note the lack of tools in the tool belt though....
What kind of cakes do you do, MaureenMLove? I've got into making birthday cakes in a big way, since making them for the ds's, I'm finding it's quite addictive...

at toolbelt.

Have a look at Mo's profile page she is a queen of cakemaking.

WOW she really is the queen of cake making! I love the ghost tower and the ponies!

Bless ya. Thanks! Its all self taught and from a book! I've got a book by Carol Deacon, which has loads of step by step instructions, with lots of pictures to follow. She's done loads of books and always available at the library. Once I got into it, I bought my own copies.

I have the No time party cakes one! I did the car one for ds1's birthday, the one you have on your profile! I really like her books, the step by steps are really clear, I have a debbie brown one too but while I LOVE the cakes, I don't find the instructions that clear.
