Hi everyone
Today decided to try Mexican Paste a try, I had been told it would be better to use in a 3-D mold which I purchased a few weeks back. I finally got around to making it , I got the recipe from globalsuagrart.com which is a site I visit often. The only thing I changed was that I used gum text instead of Gum Tragacanth , I read good and bad reviews about subsuituing it for gum tex so we will see what happens, you are suppose to let it "cure" overnght .
We will have to see what happens. Below is the recipe
Happy Baking !

Mexican Paste Recipe
This it the paste that Marion Frost of Patchwork Cutters recommends to use with all her Patchwork Cutters. We do not recommend gumpaste for use with Patchwork cutters.
8 ounces (2 cups) 10x powdered sugar
3 teaspoons Gum Tragacanth -Buy Here
6 teaspoons cold water (plus or minus a teaspoon depending on your sugar)
Blend together 10x sugar and gum tragacanth in a bowl. Add water and mix with a heavy spoon until most of the sugar is absorbed. Pour onto a clean work surface and knead, picking up the extra bits of moist sugar as you knead, until the dough is smooth and pliable. Place in a sealed plastic bag and place that bag into another sealed bag. Leave overnight on the counter to cure. DO NOT REFRIGERATE! The paste will be very hard the next day. Break off a small piece and knead until soft before using.
You can keep Mexican Paste for up to 10 days as long as you knead it every 2-3 days. If you want to keep it longer, it freezes very well. Do not refrigerate Mexican paste
