Sugarpaste/Fondant

This is the recipe I used to make the sugarpaste planks for Derek's Ark cake.

It came from Carol Deacon's book Party Cakes for Children

Ingredients:
1 lb 2 oz powdered sugar
1 egg white
2 Tbsp glucose (*CORN SYRUP*)

Directions:
1. Place the sugar into a bowl and make a well in the center.
2. Tip the egg white and glucose into the well and stir in using a wooden spoon.
3. Finish binding the icing together with your hands, kneading until all the sugar is incorporated and the icing feels silky and smooth. (*I had to add extra glucose to get it to all bind together.)
4. Double wrap immediately in two small plastic bags. It may be used right away.

Use within 1 week.
